Amazing boat spinners

5.00This was a really fun activity and our guide worked really hard at “entertaining“ us - singing, dancing, the works. The waterways they take you through are chock a block with other bamboo boats but it doesn’t spoil the experience. We got to see the “boat spinners” (who were amazing to watch), the fishing net casting and tried a bit of crab fishing. The ride lasts about 3/4 of an hour - highly recommended. Warning: Our Grab driver didn’t drop us where requested but at another boat operator where they hassle you to buy tickets. GYG had warned us about this so we were wise to it. We were disappointed with the Grab driver though.

5.00So much fun on this trip! Our guide Thung was hilarious and though we didn't quite catch a crab we had good fun trying! Would definitely recommend! A well spent hour worth the price (in pounds this was about £15/16)

Spinning Through the Palms: A Playful Coconut Adventure

5.00A lively and entertaining ride through the coconut forest that’s full of energy and local charm. The basket boat experience is equal parts relaxing and exhilarating—especially when the guides show off their spinning skills and playful tricks. It’s touristy, yes—but in a fun, joyful way. Expect laughter, a bit of splash, and great photo moments surrounded by lush greenery. Perfect for families and anyone looking for a lighthearted, memorable break from traditional sightseeing
