The Unique Seaweed Season at Hon Kho

Seaweed typically attaches to coral reefs and underwater rocks. As the seaweed grows, it rises to the water's surface. When numerous plants form together, they create impressive golden seaweed patches floating on the ocean.
Beyond its tourism value, seaweed is considered a precious gift from nature to Qui Nhon, as it is harvested for export, medicine production, and as fertilizer.
According to many travelers' experiences, you should try SUP kayaking to fully appreciate the beauty of the seaweed fields beneath the water. The feeling of paddling a SUP board over the sea while admiring the seaweed is both exciting and captivating. Seaweed looks its best in photos, especially when shot from above with a drone.
