Phu Yen, now part of Dak Lak Province, not only boasts pristine natural beauty, serene beaches, and unique cultural heritage, but is also conveniently connected through a modern transportation network. The CT01 Expressway from Ho Chi Minh City ensures fast and easy road travel, while Tuy Hoa Airport offers a variety of flexible flight options. Complemented by a collection of luxurious 5-star hotels, the destination is perfectly equipped to meet the high standards of MICE travelers. All these factors make Phu Yen one of Vietnam’s premier choices for MICE activities, especially outdoor team building. Whether conquering majestic mountain peaks, exploring iconic landmarks, or savoring a warm seafood feast by the beach, this coastal gem of the South Central region delivers the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and team spirit.

In this article, Exotic Vietnam is proud to introduce five signature team building activities in Phu Yen – each designed to energize groups, strengthen bonds, and create unforgettable memories amid the poetic scenery of this hidden gem in Vietnam.

The Amazing Race in Phu Yen

The Amazing Race Phu Yen offers a thrilling journey through iconic landmarks such as Long Thuy Beach, Nhan Tower, Nghinh Phong Tower, and Hon Chua Island. Teams will work together to solve cryptic clues and conquer unique challenges that reflect the region’s natural and cultural heritage at each checkpoint – from ancient Cham relics and historic churches to dramatic basalt headlands reaching into the sea, once immortalized in Victor Vu’s film “Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass”. Along the way, participants will also have the chance to experience traditional rice paper making and join vibrant ba trao singing and dancing performances – a distinctive coastal folk art form. This adventure not only strengthens team bonds but also hones strategic thinking and problem-solving skills, all within a dynamic, colorful setting where hidden treasures of beauty are revealed step by step.

Island & Beach Team Building in Phu Yen

With its powdery white sands, crystal-clear waters, and gentle waves, Phu Yen is an ideal destination for outdoor team building activities. Games such as beach volleyball, relay races, inflatable obstacle courses, or treasure hunts on nearby islands not only spark creativity but also enhance teamwork and communication skills among participants. Renowned spots like Bai Xep, Bai Mon, and Bai Long Thuy, as well as islands such as Hon Chua and Hon Mai Nha – just a short ten-minute canoe ride from the shore – offer breathtaking landscapes adorned with striking granite formations, creating the perfect backdrop for energetic, team-bonding activities. Surrounded by fresh sea air and stunning natural scenery, Phu Yen’s beaches and islands provide a relaxing, joyful, and energizing experience, strengthening team spirit through exciting challenges

Phu Yen Seafood Culinary Challenge

Blessed with abundant seafood from its lagoons, islands, and deep coastal waters, Phu Yen is renowned for its fresh delicacies, particularly tuna and blood cockles. Tuna is prepared in a variety of enticing ways, from grilling and hotpot to sashimi, with the signature stewed tuna eye in herbal broth offering an unforgettable taste. The blood cockles from O Loan Lagoon are another celebrated specialty, enjoyed grilled, stir-fried with tamarind, steamed, or even as a unique tiet canh (blood pudding). Seafood culinary team building activities offer participants the chance to unleash their creativity while embarking on “a journey of coastal flavors.” These experiences can include visiting a local market, learning how to select the freshest seafood, competing in “Master Chef”-style cooking challenges in a 5-star kitchen or a traditional family kitchen, and gathering for a seafood BBQ on a secluded beach. It’s a wonderful opportunity to strengthen team spirit while savoring the rich and fresh seafood specialties of Phu Yen.

Conquering Da Bia Mountain

Standing 706 meters tall, Da Bia Mountain is not only an ideal destination for nature lovers but also a site steeped in history. According to legend, in 1471, King Le Thanh Tong ordered inscriptions to be carved into the massive rock at its summit to mark the boundary between Dai Viet and Champa. Conquering Da Bia Mountain is an enticing challenge for adventure enthusiasts, featuring a 2.2 km stone stairway with around 2,000 steps. The round trip takes approximately four hours. Along the way, visitors can marvel at breathtaking natural landscapes, enjoy the serenity of the forest, and take in panoramic views where mountains and sea meet in perfect harmony. This is an ideal test of physical endurance and determination, as well as a valuable opportunity for corporate teams to strengthen solidarity – ensuring no one is left behind – while supporting and encouraging one another in an inspiring and energizing environment.

Sunrise Trek to Cape Mui Dien

Mui Dien, once marked on 16th-century Portuguese nautical maps as Cape Varella, is distinguished by its lighthouse, built in 1890, whose beam reaches as far as 27 nautical miles. Standing 110 meters above sea level, the lighthouse plays a vital role in guiding passing vessels. The team-building program begins at 4:00 a.m., while the night still lingers. Participants warm up on Bai Mon Beach before embarking on the trek to conquer Mui Dien. In the misty dawn and crisp morning air, they ascend a 1,000-meter staircase, sharing stories and strengthening bonds with every step. Upon reaching the lighthouse, they are rewarded with breathtaking views of the boundless sea and sky, and a deep sense of their own strength, perseverance, and the unity of their team. Conquering Mui Dien is not only a physical challenge but also an opportunity to ignite solidarity, awaken the drive to break through limits, and reinforce the shared commitment to accompany the business in reaching new heights and new horizons – radiant like the first light of dawn.
