Starfish beach - The transportation and getting there was a little bit confusing.But on arrival turned out to be a pretty good experience. We had lunch first you were able to see fish in low harbor and then we took a boat ride.Which is about ten minutes to starfish beach, great experience

Great for 3-generation families - Went with 2 seniors, a 6 year old and myself and it was the perfect day trip for them. It was just enough of a rustic adventure and yet not too intense, plus the flexible start and end time was great. The starfish beach was amazing with very soft sand and clear waters. The seafood lunch was super fresh. Also enjoyed relaxing on a hammock and trying out fishing at the pier. Guides were friendly and speak good English. Better go while you can because we were told that some developer might be taking over the land and clearing all these floating houses away. :(

Wonderful experience - Fantastic experience! The beach was wonderful. Lots of starfish and crystal clear water for swimming. Our highlight tho was the meal at the family restaurant! The family is so welcoming and wonderful! We had a ton of fun hanging out afterwards and fishing off the dock and chatting with the family.

Go there while you still can - Excellent trip with friendly locals who took us to a Starfish beach followed by the best meal we have had in Vietnam ( and we have had some great ones!) Rustic set up of a floating restaurant- which exudes charm and feels like you have had a privileged invitation to someone’s home - and mum is a brilliant cook. Such a lovely natural environment all built on stilts in the water. Go there soon as I believe developers have bought the surrounding land and will be pushing these wonderful entrepreneurs out of the area. Shame as we enjoyed this day more than any I could have done in a resort. Wish I had taken pictures of the food but we were too busy devouring it!

Go early in the day …. It’s worth it - I went early for this trip so arriving at the meeting point for just after 8am …. I highly recommend doing that if possible as this meant getting to starfish beach before others so it made for a lovely experience pretty much having the whole beach to yourself. The food provided was excellent and the staff really friendly and helpful

Nah teen Bien - Joy Adventures - Starfish beach - We did a last minute booking. The communication was great. English speaking hosts made it easier to get the best out of the experience and tick most of our boxes. Attended the event with 2 adults 1 pensioner and 2 children. Seafood lunch was absolutely awesome - especially the steamed fish!

Disappointing - Starfish Bay has clearly been moved for commercial reasons star fish have been moved from there original habitat to a smaller beach not worth seeing
