Excellent tour and great value for money. Chef Hai chose lovely fresh veg for us at the market and the coconut boat ride was fun. No actual fishing though! Cooking lesson was brilliant and food tasted amazing. Highly recommend this tour

This was a fantastic experience. The chef was amazing. The cooking class was phenomenal, and the food was delicious. Everything was clean and well organized. Each cooking station was assigned 2 people, that way everyone had an opportunity to cook. Truly amazed by how tasty the food was.

Awesome experience with Hi Hi cooking local dishes. The food was great and Hi Hi was amazing at showing us what to do. The basket boats were also so much fun! A great way to spend a day in Hoi An.

I had such a fun and unique experience with instructor Hai! We started with coconut boats and crab fishing, which was a great way to enjoy the local scenery and get hands-on with nature. The cooking class afterward was both informative and entertaining, and Hai made everything easy to follow while keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and memorable cultural experience!

We had the investor experience this morning. Haihai was our poor guide and he led the cooking class wonderful. The basket experience was so fun and very laid-back and it was 50,000 dong to get spun. I felt like it was very entertaining and a low-key morning. Great way to spend some time outside of HoiAn. but still experienced some of the culture and enjoy our time here 100%. I would recommend even if you are not big on cooking or eating Vietnamese food. Still a great time
