5.00This is one ride you dont want to miss. Paddle basket boat takes you through the estuaries in the coconut forest and into the main basin where there is a scene like a carnival. Loud music on mobile floating karaoke, fishermen teaching how to throw nets, spinning basket boats (a must do) and even a floating photo studio with instant souvenir photos in a minute. Great and enjoyable experience.
Highly recommend!

Hoi An: Lantern making and Coconut Basket Activities

5.00This was our best activity in Hoi An; especially since they cancelled our snorkeling trip to Cham Island. Anyhow, Mr. Fuc was very patient with us and we were very excited to learn how to make a lantern which is collapsible so we can take it back with us to the US. Mr. An was the best coconut basket driver and had a great personality. California/Canada number one! Olay-Olay…We did the coconut spin, watched a net throw for fishing and did some crab fishing. So much fun. Exceeded our expectations!!!
Great experience with awesome guide

5.00Our guide was awesome, funny and friendly. I enjoyed the ride along river in bamboo basket boat and crab fishing. The guys that spin the boats are talented. Our guide did some slow spinning in circles which made me feel sick but he stopped when asked, so that was appreciated. Well recommend this experience.
Scenic and peaceful

5.00We had such a great experience on this coconut boat excursion! It was tucked away and the route wasn’t around too many people so we really got to enjoy the scenery.

5.00We were picked up at our hotel for the 15 minute drive to where we left from for the 45 minute boat ride. Our boat driver was hilarious and awesome and too heaps of photos for us! Afterwards we had all of the professional photos sent to my WhatsApp for $100000 VND and our driver picked us up and dropped us back at our hotel. Would highly recommend this tour.
Great value for money!
