Things to do in Hội An

So glad I booked a tour. I am on a solo trip and the join in group was the right call. Picked up and dropped off in my hotel. Joy, our guide was a delight and very personal. There's just a lot of walk and it can be very humid and hot. I liked the noodles that was served to us after our tour. Bring water, fan, umbrella and extra clothing just in case. Also, some cash. Entrance fee of 150000 Vnd is not included in this tour.

If you are interested in learning about Vietnam’s last emperor, you have to book this tour. It will be very hot so bringing an umbrella is a must. wear something that will protect you from the heat of the sun.

We booked while in Hoi An. Called a Grab, cheap and about 10mins drive. When we got out of Grab, a staff came and lead us to the port for boarding. There's a restroom on site if needed, it's clean. Though it's hot in late June morning(~9:40 a.m.), the blue sky and green water make vivid colorful pictures. We didn't do spins but enjoyed watching others spin😆. There were a few Karaoke stages on the river which many local enjoyed, fun to watch but we don't understand the songs at all. Our boatman helped us taking some good photos and we gave him a courtesy tip.

experience: You won’t be confused and won’t be flocked by so many people becuase they have a buddy boat already waiting for you, they gave us a welcome cold tea drink and the boat driver is very lovely took a pic of us, even though its a short time only (15-20mins) we enjoyed our momen. I really recommend booking this!!!

What an unforgettable experience! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. Our boat driver was fantastic—after the ride, he gave us cold towels to cool off from the heat and even took our food order. Truly an all-in-one service! 😂 The owner also personally checked on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and felt safe, which made us feel very welcome. A few tips: Arrive early (boat rides start at 8:00 AM) to avoid the crowds. If you’re booking a Grab, search for “Coconut Restaurant & Basket Boat Tour” instead of “Nipa Basket Coconut Boat.” The famous basket boat spin costs 100,000 VND and is definitely worth trying! And don’t forget to tip your boat driver—they work hard to make your experience fun and memorable, and they’ll truly appreciate it. ❤️ I rarely write reviews, but this experience was too good not to share. Highly recommended when visiting Hoi An!

The highlight of my trip! It gives you the rich history of Hoi An plus the amazing show with soo many effects! I was amazed on how they used the lights and the props and so many actresses and actors - It was indeed an extravagant show!! Plus the buffet so yum!! So worth it!! highly recommended!

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.

It was one of the best experience in my Hoi An trip so far, it’s in the middle of the rice field with over thousands of ducks. David assisted us througout and he’s very friendly and accommodating. they will lend you vietnamese hat as it’s also hot outdoor, they also have a locker to keep your stuff safe and sleepers in case the duck will poop on your shoes (they pooped on my pants😅😁) overall, it was a quick and really fun experience. don’t miss this on your Hoi An trip💕

This was such a great experience! A family owned & run business, the class was fun and engaging and we learned how to make the best coffees. If you are in Hoi An and you love your daily coffee, this activity is a must.
