It was a unique experience exploring the water-coconut groves and local fishing farms. Riding a buffalo in the rice fields in Hoi An was thrilling and rowing a bamboo boat through the lush palm and coconut tree groves was serene. I am grateful to Tham for assisting us in booking this exciting tour.
