Visit a pearl farm
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
Visit in the late morning between 10:00 and 11:30 when workers are actively harvesting oysters. Dry season months from November to March offer the calmest seas and clearest water for viewing the cultivation rows.
Savjeti za budžet
Entry is free, but guided tours cost around 150,000 VND per person and include one oyster for pearl picking. Pearl setting into rings or pendants starts at 100,000 VND extra, so negotiate bundled pricing if you plan to wear your find.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Visitors can hand-pick live oysters directly from hanging ropes and watch them get pried open on the spot, revealing pearls inside. The farm cultivates over 200,000 oysters annually and offers guided tours through the entire pearl-making process from nucleus implantation to final polishing.
Istaknuto: The moment a worker slices open a fresh oyster and you see that glossy pearl resting in the meat is genuinely thrilling, especially since every single visitor gets to keep the pearl they choose. Locals say pearls from these warm southern Vietnamese waters carry a subtle golden tint you won't find anywhere else, and the farm keeps a wall display of 50-year-old pearls that were harvested from the very first seeding batch.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear closed-toe shoes, the floating walkways over the oyster beds get slick with seawater and algae.
- Skip the morning rush by arriving right at opening time, then head to the back deck for the best photo of the entire farm layout.
- Ask to see the pearl grading station where workers sort by luster and size, and you'll understand how to spot quality in the gift shop.
- Bring small cash, card readers often fail out on the water platform and the on-site café only takes dong.
