3. Unmissable highlights of an excursion to Da Dia Reef

3.1. Unique geological formations

Da Dia Reef features an extraordinary landscape that captivates visitors with its unique rock formations and ever-changing colors throughout the day. According to scientists, the basalt rocks at Da Dia Reef were formed nearly 200 million years ago due to volcanic activity in Van Hoa Plateau about 30 kilometers away. 

Spanning over 50 meters in width and 200 meters in length, the reef appears from a distance like a giant honeycomb, with its mysterious black stones standing out against the blue sky and sea. As you get closer, you will be astonished by the sight of tens of thousands of stone columns with hexagonal, square, or circular cross-sections, which are perfectly stacked atop one another. Some of these columns rise straight up, while others are laid out flat or tilted.

Adding to the charm of Da Dia Reef is the picturesque view of traditional basket boats bobbing gently on the sea. These round, woven boats, used by the local fishermen, create a serene image against the backdrop of the rugged basalt rocks. As they drift along the calm waters, these boats offer a glimpse into the daily life of the coastal communities in Phu Yen. Whether witnessing the fishermen casting their nets at dawn or simply observing the boats floating peacefully, this sight adds a layer of cultural richness to the natural beauty of the reef.

3.2. Amazing horse rides

A visit to Da Dia Reef becomes even more unforgettable with the unique experience of horseback riding.

This instrument has deep roots in Vietnam’s history and is a treasured part of the country’s musical heritage. These performances provide a glimpse into the cultural richness of Phu Yen, allowing visitors to appreciate the blend of nature and tradition that makes Da Dia Reef such a special place.
