What an incredible experience!! Absolutely loved every second of it. We were fetched from our hotel, strolled through a market and bought ingredients for the cooking class later. We then did the coconut boats and had so much fun doing that. The cooking class was also really amazing! Linh was our guide and she was lovely.
Excellent experience!

The boatman will take a lot of pictures. The wind was nice, but the blast music here and there was a little surreal.

10/10 would recommend the tour to everyone! Our local guide Anh was absolutely incredible. She taught us loads of interesting things inside the market. Our coconut boat ride was lovely and the cooking class was so much fun. We made 4 delicious dishes and Anh showed us each step brilliantly before letting us make our own. We also got sent all the recipes we made which is always appreciated. Lots of fun and would definitely recommend.
Very fun
