Lovely tour for a great price - The owner was lovely, very easy to chat too and told us lots about the surrounding area. Our guide who rowed the boat was more than happy to take pictures and made sure we had a good time throughout. The cold bottles of water and fresh fruit were a nice touch. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone

Lovely insight to Viet life - Basket boat ride is a must do experience when in Vietnam. We booked very last minute and they accommodated our booking request. Host was lovely and gives you and insight to Vietnamese life as you take off from her home. This is her own little business and she organizes the transfer pick up and return and also invites you to drinks after the experience.

Exceptional Fishing Experience - "Our fishing charter with Nanje Fishing Trips Dubai was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we set sail, the crew's professionalism and expertise were evident. They took us to prime fishing spots where we reeled in an impressive catch, including some trophy-sized fish. The captain's knowledge of the area ensured that we had a successful day on the water. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a memorable fishing adventure in Dubai!"
