5.00We really enjoyed the coconut boat tour; the handling was quick and clear. You need to understand English for the instructions. The staff is very nice! And you can buy a photo at the end of the tour for a very affordable price. I recommend. Going in the morning is better because it is not crowded with tourists.

4.00The activity itself was enjoyable and the staff were friendly, but I was very disappointed with the pricing. We were charged significantly more than expected, and the costs were not clearly explained beforehand. What started as a fun experience ended up feeling poor value for money because of the unexpected charges. I would recommend that future visitors ask for a full breakdown of all costs before booking. Greater transparency around pricing would make for a much better customer experience.
Cam Thanh Coconut Forest

5.00One moment you are gliding silently through cool, shaded mangrove channels, learning the delicate art of folding coconut leaves into intricate rings and watching local fishermen gracefully cast circular nets. The next, you are swept into the viral, high-energy center of the river—where boatmen pull off dizzying, gravity-defying basket spinning performances to blaring music.
Great fun

5.00Very well organised and great fun. We were met by the company and given a bottle of water in their bar area. Lady that took us out in the boat ( 2 people per boat) was very jolly and entertaining, she took us along the coconut groves and we saw people spinning the boats and castling fishing nets. We were very well cared for. She brought us back after about an hour and we had an option to buy some photos for 100k , no pressure. We had a drink of iced coffee (30k) before we left. Would definitely recommend.
