About Cua Van Fishing Village

Cua Van offers a window into a way of life shaped entirely by the water. Generations have lived here on floating homes, fishing the sheltered channels and raising their children on the bay.

Visitors explore by rowing boat, paddled gently by local women, passing the village school, fish farms and a small cultural centre that records the community’s songs and history.
