Went with "Duc Vihn Tran", our boat captain was fine but when we got to the part with the spinning you jump on to another boat.. that captain secretly grabbed my 8yo son's crotch twice. I found out afterwards from my son, found video proof, now pursuing legal action.. Don't do it, f*&king disgusting

This boat tour was one of the best of our experiences in Vietnam. It was crowded no doubt but the view with the round colourful boats carrying tourists, in the middle of the river, looked very cute. The boat initially took us through some narrow creeks in the midst of coconut trees, but later on we came out to a very wide section. This part was very lively with activities like boat spinning and karaoke. We did the boat spinning paying an additional cost of 100k vnd (It was really fun) and also spent some time near the karaoke to hear the tourists singing random songs. Overall, the experience brought a smile to our faces and we will cherish it always as a loving memory. Do try this out when in Hoi An and try to reach the correct location. Better to reconfirm the location from your hotel (if self driving) as sometimes the Google Maps can be misleading.

This is overrated , a total tourist trap. Your life will not be diminished by not doing this . There’s nothing to see, the boat men are so disinterested in their jobs , the water is filthy and over crowded .
Fun afternoon activity

So fun. Happy we could do just the boat ride and some crab fishing. We needed to rebook for the afternoon and they were great at communicating with the schedule change.
Perfect
