Great experience with the family on a basket/coconut boat! We were picked up in a car from our hotel which was very helpful, and when we arrived we were each provided with a bottle of water and explained what our experience would entail. Our guides were awesome; ensured we got great photos (even made sure my whole family of 5, across 3 boats, got photos together) and had heaps of fun together!
Ding is a LEGEND

Great experience! The company was really professional and kind. You have to be kind of lucky with the boat drivers since some are way funnier than others. Fortunately we were a group of 6 so while 2 of the drivers didnt talk at all, the 3rd was really funny which made the experience a lot better.
Authentic and enjoyable experience.

The coconut boat ride in Hoi An is a peaceful escape into the heart of Cam Thanh village. You’ll cruise through narrow water channels surrounded by lush mangrove forests, all while riding in traditional round bamboo boats. The guides are friendly and share interesting local stories and fishing techniques. You might even get the chance to paddle or join in a fun "coconut race" with other visitors! It’s a great way to experience a quieter, more traditional side of Vietnam, and the natural beauty makes it perfect for photos.
Lovely experience from...

Lovely experience from start to finish and very well organised. Car picks you up from your hotel, you get a detailed briefing and then dropped off back at your hotel. Ding as the coconut boat driver was fantastic, enthusiastic and happy whilst singing songs and taking lots of photos and videos! Highly recommend for a hassle free and fun experience
Entertaining and friendly staff, very fun experience.
