Hoi An was an essential destination in our Vietnam travel itinerary. That’s why I reviewed the featured tours here. Besides watching basket boat performances and crab catching, learning to paddle bamboo basket boats with help from the local people was our unforgettable memory. We really enjoyed this tour.

We had the opportunity to visit Hoi An for two days. For us, wandering the old town for one day was enough. So on the second day, we chose this tour. We tried bamboo boating and visited the water coconut village. Rather interesting.

Probably many people have been to Hoi An Ancient Town before, but what makes Hoi An attractive is not just its old streets. Visiting the water coconut village by bicycle may make you even more excited. I went on this tour and had a completely different experience. It’s incredibly peaceful, unlike the crowded old town. I was a little scared when I saw the buffalo, but I decided to try riding the water buffalo in the lush rice fields. It turned out to be an amazing and unforgettable experience.

I liked the wildness and beauty of the water coconut forest here. Hoi An also has many good things; without tours like this, people would only know about the old town. I was so lucky to know and go on this tour. Local dishes were also delicious. Such an excellent tour!!!

Luckily, I had a little time after my business trip. So I booked this tour. The tour guide picked me up at the hotel. What impressed me was visiting the creeks in the water coconut woods by basket boats. Really great!!
