Tour description
Da Nang eats its seafood on the far side of the river, in the fishing neighbourhoods below Son Tra mountain, where open-fronted grill houses set out plastic tables the moment the sun drops. Very few visitors cross over. That is where this tour goes.
We start with the dish the city is addicted to: clams steamed with lemongrass and chilli, eaten by the kilo with a beer. Then grilled scallops with spring onion oil and peanuts, razor clams with garlic, and whatever the boats brought in that afternoon, chosen with your guide at the tank rather than from a menu. Later we move to a Michelin Bib Gourmand congee shop for chao vit, duck congee with shredded meat and ginger fish sauce, which is what locals eat to finish a night of shellfish.
We time the walk to end back on the riverfront. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights the Dragon Bridge breathes fire and water at nine o'clock, and we will be standing in the right place with something cold in hand.
Small group, maximum 10 guests, with short taxi transfers included between neighbourhoods.

Cancellation policy
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable. Tours run rain or shine, but if a typhoon warning is in force we will cancel and refund you in full.
Other notes
Runs daily at 17:30. The Dragon Bridge fire-and-water show runs only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 21:00 and lasts about 15 minutes. It is weather-dependent and can be cancelled without notice, so we include it when it runs but never promise it.
Shellfish is the core of this tour. If you cannot eat shellfish, tell us at least 48 hours ahead and we will build a grilled fish and pork route instead - or take our morning tour, which suits better.
Minimum age 12 because of the late finish and the beer stops.
Da Nang's rain and typhoon season runs roughly September to December.
Note on addresses: Quang Nam was merged into Da Nang City in July 2025 and ward names changed; street numbers are unchanged.
