A new way to reach Da Dia Rock Reef, Phu Yen Province
Da Dia Rock Reef, around 40 kilometers from Tuy
Hoa Town, is one of the famous attractions in the central coast province of Phu
Yen.
It’s famous because the landscape is made of thousands of pentagonal rocks,
causing passers-by to stop and contemplate the unusual and magnificent work of
nature. Here at this natural structure, the beauty of nature has been recognized
as a National Heritage Site by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Tour
operators are including this attraction in their tour programs for Phu Yen
Province.
Normally, tour operators take visitors to the attraction by road. However,
visitors can now ask them to use the sea route through Xuan Dai Bay.
The new way will offer a different view of the beauty of Da Dia Rock Reef from
the sea and the beautiful Xuan Dai Bay, which is located in the province’s
northern Song Cau and Tuy An districts with a water surface area of nearly
13,000 hectares.
To reach the bay, visitors need to get to the small fishing port of Xuan Dai and
then ask for a boat to explore the bay. There are no tourist boats here so that
the traveler must use a fishing boat to explore Xuan Dai. Boat owners will ask
for VND100,000 or more per guest for one hour of travel. The larger the group,
the lower the price per person will be.
It takes around three hours to thoroughly explore the bay and Da Dia Rock Reef.
One thing to remember is to ask the boat owner to stop at Da Dia for sight
seeing and to take pictures, or the boat will go around the bay and return to
port.
The wharf in front of Da Dia is full of fishing boats and coracles (the wicker
baskets that are wound watertight and look like tubs). The tourist boat must
respect them by weaving through the group at a low speed and not turning them
over. Here tourists have a chance to talk with local fishermen about their
craft.
Xuan Dai Bay remains un-developed and so offers a relaxing experience. It’s
surrounded by mountains that cast their moonlit shadows across the water. Its
bed has many kinds of coral and seaweed. The bay has many islets perfect for
swimming.
