A Great Experience in Hoi An! (5/5 Stars)

5.00My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Green Coconut Village basket boat tour! It was a unique and memorable experience that we highly recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, offering us refreshing cold water and traditional Vietnamese hats to protect us from the sun. Our boat drivers were the highlight of the trip! They were so energetic, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to making sure we had a great time. The tour itself was a perfect blend of peaceful sightseeing and fun, interactive activities: Gliding through the palms: The scenery was beautiful and tranquil as we paddled through the narrow, shaded canals of the coconut forest. It was a lovely break from the bustle of the ancient town. Exciting boat spinning: We watched the local boatmen perform impressive, fast spins in their basket boats, which was very entertaining! Crab fishing & net casting: Our guide taught us how to use a small bamboo rod to catch crabs (we didn’t catch any!) and we saw a local fisherman demonstrating traditional net casting. Great photo opportunities: Our driver was an expert at finding the best photo spots and took some amazing pictures of us. Handicrafts: my daughter stayed on to do the lantern making and we had Vietnamese coffee. Tips: We went at 1030 and it was busy but not too crowded. Make sure your grab taxi drops you at the right location and remember to bring a little cash for an optional tip for your boat driver, who works hard to make your experience special. Thank you, Green Coconut Village, for a great morning! We will cherish the memories.

5.00Despite heavy rain it was a lot of fun and is a different experience. Of course, it is designed for many tourists, but we had fun and our boater took care of us and made us in a good mood.
Great Relaxed Coconut Basket Boat Tour

5.00Since we found this good recommendation of the boat tour in the Tripadvisor, we set off by taxi to look for this company. Unfortunately, the taxi driver let us out in the wrong place, where mass handling was organized with roaring hectic people. We knew immediately that we were wrong and left lt. Google Maps about 600 m around the corner, where we landed in a relaxed area with friendly people. without hustle and bustle and scream. A young man explained the one-hour tour and we were assigned to Kim, our boatmaster. It took us safely along the river, where we could watch the fun goings-on of the Coconut Basket boats, the drivers with the fast-rotating boats, fishermen throwing out their large fishing net. Finally we were able to try our hand at crab fishing and Kim took some great pictures of us. Afterwards, he brought us back safely to the boat dock. If you want to take a boat trip relaxed and without hassle is the right place and should definitely choose this company!
