Hoi An: Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut Forest

1.Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut Forest

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 4,956 reviews · 50 minutes - 3 hours · from $3Our pick

Ride a traditional basket boat through Hoi An’s Bay Mau Coconut Forest, try crab fishing, watch net casting, and enjoy lively local guides.

“Quick smooth pickup/return from our hotel, and trip lasted about 2 hours in total. We had a really fun time in the basket boat ride in Coconut Forest - lots of fun photo stops from our guide, who also videoed our boat spinning too (the spinning itself was an extra 150,000vnd for 2 people, which was well worth it) They also had a professional photographer stationed on the water, and it was only 100,000VND for all the digital photos! Really recommend trip for anyone in Hoi an.”

Review of Hoi An’s market-to-table cooking class, with basket boats, crab fishing, local dishes, practical tips, value, and drawbacks.

“The cooking class was the best part. Otherwise buyer beware. They offered hotel pick up but when I asked what time the pick up would be, we were instructed to meet at a tailor shop in town. Not a huge deal as we went in town early to explore, just shouldn’t be offered if they aren’t going to deliver. Then we were asked if we could ride bicycles but no other details given. After a quick trip through the market, we started on a 30 minute bike ride that we were not expecting and was not in the description at all. Once making it to the bamboo boats, we went…”
