    Fantastic experience and well worth the money. Excellent communication prior organising a pick up from our hotel. The driver was on time and took us to the tour location. Water given on arrival. Everyone was extremely friendly. Our boat guide Dinh was fantastic. He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was brilliant. He took lots of photographs and there was no pressure to pay for any of the extra activities. He span us around for free, which was not something other groups were getting. The tour is timed about right at 45 minutes and the morning is much quieter than afternoons. Plenty of room for bags etc so don’t worry about bringing personal items. Overall I highly recommend and don’t worry you don’t get wet.

    It was fun at the same time it was lovely to see the water coconut forest. With nice weather we had a great time riding the basket boat with an experienced boatman Hung.

  • So fun and pleasant!!!

    What a fun experience!! First we were picked up where we stay and drove quite far. This service in itself is fantastic for the price. We came into the coconut forest and one got an impression of how Hoi An must have been originally. It was a small lane with lots of greenery and small cafés/restaurants. If there are hotels there, that must be the best place to stay! Quiet! We were made to feel very welcome by everyone in the restaurant which was theirs. It was easy to step into the boat. Well on the water we had such fun. Just being on a small boat is a joy for me. We saw so much and talked a lot with Hung, our good-humoured guide. Then we saw people spinning in the boats. And people were singing and having fun. There were a lot of boats and sometimes we talked with the other boat passengers when we bumped into each other. It was busy on the river! We saw people casting the fishing nets. It was so pleasant. I could have wished for a trip for a day, with food and drink, just chilling on the water. Once back, we sat there and had coconut water and relaxed while waiting for the car back. Thank you Hung, for a fun time! And thank you to the whole company. This is something we will definitely do again if we come back to Hoi An.

    Great fun . Gave out hats to add to the experience. The drivers rocked the boats but always felt safe. The spinners were very clever and you could pay extra to experience this as well

    Horrible. A human circus. No authenticity. I'm a money-making machine. American music at full volume. Screaming and yelling. Not even the coconut shadow. A disaster.

    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!

    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.
