Reviews
Amazing! For 15 euros, it almost feels like we're ripping them off! A complete cooking class, the food is excellent, a baguette is offered at the end, a boat trip with crab fishing where we're given rings made from leaves, a walk through the market, and fruit tasting. It's a 10/10, simply unbeatable value for money.
Such a fruitful experience! We experienced spinning boat and coconut boat passing through the river! The market visiting was very recommended as you can take a look at how local people live. We had step by step learning procedure for meal cooking session. We will come again!
We had such an amazing experience on this tour. Our host and cooking instructor Hanh was great. She has great humor which made the walk in the market and the cooking class great to follow. The instructions were clear and she was very helpful with personal attentiveness, even though we had a group of 11 people. The tour was nicely organised and time wise it was planned good. The eco tour on the river was also great. All the guides had an amazing attitude which made the trip very enjoyable. They were singing and made it a really unforgettable experience. It is also fine to do this tour with children. Would definitely recommend this tour!
We had a wonderful experience with the coconut boat ride and cooking class in Hoi An. The basket boat ride through the coconut forest was fun, relaxing, and gave us a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The guides were friendly and entertaining, making the experience enjoyable for everyone.
excellent value package. the coconut boat ride was like 20mins, this is not long river ride. it is remote local water area but we got the experience and spinning show. I played on it for 50k and then many follow up have a go. it is safety first so you won't be spin off into water. we went to fruit meat market and bought some fruits to eat later. the cooking class was brilliant, guided by same lady Lee , she was patient and teaching like 10ppl. we are our cooked dishes. fish, chicken, wraps, then fruits and morning glory rice, lol we couldn't finish it. drinks are extra and get pair of long wooden chop stick as souvenir. we had a good time cooking our dishes.
we loved this experience. Everything was well planned out. The team were so friendly and made experience fun. The cooking class was easy to understand and we can confidently cook our favorite Vietnamese dishes at home. We thoroughly enjoyed it and we'd do it again
Such a good experience with so much activities packed in one tour. We loved visiting the market and buying from actual local stores. The cooking class was also very fun! The coconut ride was also very fun and we got spun around for an additional VND 10k. One thing to note though, this is not the “original” coconut boat with the karaoke and such. But it’s a coconut boat ride nonetheless and the grandma that rowed for us was very friendly and cheerful. Our guide, Hanh was also very nice and even gave us recommendations even after the tour.
we got picked up from our hotel and transferred to the local market to explore the local ingredients before heading towards the venue to refresh before going on the coconut boats and crab fishing. unfortunately we weren’t successful in catching any crabs, but it was fun anyways in the shade. Later we went to the point were they were doing the full spinning coconut boat experience, which was fun to watch. but we didnt dare the participate 😅 Before heading back to the cooking class venue. We started with the soup for pho, papaya salad then the spring rolls and the pancake before making the fish. we ate the pancake, springrolls and salad as first before eating the pho and fish with morning glory and rice. Ending the class with some local fruits. It was very yummy and fun experience!
Was super fun and enjoyable! Learnt more about the different fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and noodles in the local market which made us appreciate the food in Vietnam more. The coconut boat ride was relaxing and the view of the open sea was really nice (although there were no crabs to catch). We had to pay 50k VND more for the spinning experience which was so thrilling. The cooking class was well explained and easy to follow although fast for people who don't really cook (aka me) but overall was delicious and fulfilling. It was fun to understand how locals usually cook! They then sent us to the Hoi An City Centre. Will highly recommend this tour due to the variety of activities and good food!
The tour was calm and relaxing, perfect for slowing down and enjoying the day. The Vietnamese cooking class was a wonderful hands-on experience and turned a rainy day into something fun, cozy, and memorable.
