Coconut Forest Basket Boat Ride for who?

1.00Do this if you love crowds and touristy capture. We do not like crowds and the feeling of being roped into a touristic wonder. But if you want to support local talent and initiative, and feel seduced into what tourists do in the area, then do this and enjoy it! Be prepared to tip at least $5/boat.
Great experience.

5.00We did the Hoi An Coconut Basket Boat Tour yesterday and I can honestly say I haven’t laughed or smiled that much in a long time! The entire experience was so fun and memorable. Our guide was fantastic—so friendly and accommodating, making sure we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and even try some fishing. It really made the experience feel special and personal. I would absolutely recommend this tour to my friends and family. Such a great way to enjoy Hoi An and create unforgettable memories!
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!!

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!
