Description

Bay Mau coconut forest tourist area, also known as Cam Thanh coconut forest, is a completely new destination in Hoi An, only about 3km from the old town. Why do we say it's a new experience, because in many people's minds, when talking about society, they will be impressed by lanterns, ancient houses or Hoai River lanterns. But that's only beautiful when the sun is out, the street lights are on, and this is also the most ideal time to enjoy Hoi An.

Additional Info

Super interesting activities at Bay Mau coconut forest tourist area:

+ Scenic basket ride:

During Bay Mau coconut forest tours, for a long time visitors will sit on a basket and be taken for a walk throughout the coconut forest. Although there is nothing special, almost everyone feels impressed with the Western-like scenery of this place. Gently pass through the green coconut groves, immersing yourself in a fresh scene no different from Da Lat.

+ Basket dance:

After hours of peaceful sightseeing, there will be an extremely skillful "basket dance" performance of the people here. This is also the most favorite activity but also the most "scary", because not everyone has the courage to participate. Usually, middle-aged men will be the ones performing the graceful, powerful and impressive basket rotations. While performing, the viewers outside continuously cheered and clapped along.

+ Souvenirs made from coconut leaves:

According to guests who have visited the coconut forest, they feel loved by the gifts from the people here. Even though it's just a flower, the locust is extremely cute, a symbol of the enthusiasm and spontaneity of the people of Quang. Don't forget to remember the boatmen's instructions on how to make coconut hats and how to handle coconuts to create your own items to keep as souvenirs.

+ Casting a net to catch fish:

The net display is extremely lively. Even though it's just a performance for tourists, it's still worth seeing. Many young people also took this opportunity to take beautiful pictures. Especially under the sunset, this rustic image of spreading a net also becomes artistic.

+ Other fun and entertainment activities:

Boat racing, tug of war, pot smashing, fishing attracts many tourists to participate and watch performances. Usually these activities will be organized for groups or tour guests. If you want to participate, you can actively register from the organizer.
