    The Buffalo ride was amazing, and the boat ride was a lot of fun, our fisherman didn’t have have much luck catching crabs, but we saw one. Our guide cooked our meal and he was very patient with us today.

  • Great half day tour. Recommend

    Well organised and pick up from hotel on time. Enjoyed the bike ride but the food after the coconut boat was the highlight for me. Thoroughly enjoyed. Recommend.

    We would highly recommend this trip specially the cycle option. You get to see the local rice fields and farmers, visit the buffalo’s and sit on one to ride if you wish. We then had a trip on the coconut boats which was great fun and well organised by this trip. After we had a lunch full of delicious local foods which tastes amazing. Great value for money and great guides. Highly recommend.

  • The Most Fun I've Had in Vietnam to Date!

    Water buffalo road was just a couple of minutes long but sufficient. No sadde or harness so staying balanced could be a fun challenge. The buffalo was quite docile. An amazing photo op. The basket boat ride was the most fun I've had in Vietnam so far because I opted for the spin. So worth it! I asked the spinner to go faster :) There were a lot of other tourists in the water in their own boats, but my boat driver (an adorable 17-year old young man) kept me away from most of the crowd and was so considerate. He made sure to show me all the little attactions on the river. Little crab fishing. Joining some dancing on another one of the boats that had a stage. Getting close to the fisherman casting out his big crabbing net. Making sure I had a photo op on the crescent moon statue (which I think most of the tourists overlooked) that turned out wonderful. Allowing me to paddle the boat -- which I dismally failed at. I was very lucky to have that young man as my boat driver. My tour guide took me to coffee where where he told me about the local life. I don't think I've had a more intimate conversation with any other local. After the boat ride, I was provided a lunch in a cute restaurant right beside the coconut river. Since I was the only person on the tour, they asked if I would be willing to ride on the back of a motorbike. I have discovered since arriving in Vietnam that I LOVE riding on the back of a motorbike so was only too happy to agree. I didn't get to do any bicycling for that reason but it was a fair tradeoff to me. I had such a great time on this tour! Yes, you can do the coconut boat rides with other companies, but I don't think it would be as in-depth or personable as this one, not to mention all the other things included at such a reasonable price!
