Super fun !

5.00We had a great time on the coconut boat - with a wonderful tour guide and great hospitality from the entire team. We went on for about 45-1 hour and went through the coconut trees, saw some people trying to catch fish and even tried to catch some small crabs. There were some professional photos taken by a camera which we were able to print off after our boat tour ended. The staff were lovely and the whole atmosphere of the tour was great.
Highly recommended!!

5.00Great fun. Very relaxing. Great price $4 each for 45min up the river and back. Bought a couple of beautiful ice coffees afterwards and relaxed in the shade.

4.00We booked lantern making class and a boatride. The lantern class was excellent! Loved it. The guide helped our 8-year old, and he was så proud of the lantern afterwards. The boattrip was also nice, especially in the narrow part of the forest. In the big an wide area it was a bit noisy and themepark-like with big soundboxes an karaoke. But it seems like the people out there had a blast! Overall, we had a great time!
Nice for the pictures, but rather a moderate activity.

3.00We took a Grab from our hotel in Hoi An. The Coconut basket boat tour delivers beautiful pictures and is fun on the water, but in general it is not that big a deal and is super touristy.
Waste of money

1.00Waste of time and money. They will try to rip you off at the beginning then you have to pay for somebody to rock your boat. I dont think even a child will find it amusing.
Amazing experience on the coconut boats!!

5.00Amazing experience for a good price. Our boat driver was so funny and was always happy to take photos of me and my girlfriend! He never went to fast, letting us enjoy the scenery. They explained to us what would happen on the tour and gave us free water. Great experience and would recommend booking this company!
Best Company Ever!

5.00Had the most amazing time with this company! Every single person was absolutely lovely! From the lady that took our booking, to the friendly boat drivers we passed along the river and the lovely lady who sold us our drinks at the end! Our driver was AMAZING! He was so funny and made sure we had a 10/10 experience, taking amazing photos and singing the whole way round! I would definitely recommend this company- such lovely people and well worth the money!
Interesting and relaxing, but avoid the photos.

4.00We enjoy being out in nature so this is a very nice way to see the country side of Hoi An. Nice and peaceful ride on the water, and some fun with the swirling boats. Somewhere along the tour there is a photographer standing in the water taking photos of you. These you can purchase after the tour. We made the mistake by buying the full set in a digital download as we wanted to process them on our own way at home. Checking the quality at home we found the quality being extremely poor with terrible colours and artifacts. Hardly usable. Taking this quality into account it was a rip-off massively over priced. Just have to laugh it off as falling for a tourist trap. Without the photo experience I would have given a five star.
