The standard way to see Tam Giang is from a small wooden boat at the end of the day, when the wind drops, the fishermen come in, and the low sun lights the fish weirs in long silhouettes across the shallow water. Most trips leave from Thai Duong or Phu My villages on the inner shore. The boats are modest — six or eight passengers under a canvas awning — and the cost is low.
The standard circuit lasts two to three hours and takes in a working fish farm, a stop on a sandbank for a paddle, and the spectacle of the sun dropping behind the dunes. Hue-based agencies sell the trip as a package including transport, dinner at a stilt restaurant, and the boat itself.
