Things to do in Hoi An

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.

Everything went as planned – we were met at the specified address, led to the boat, and my companion and I were seated. The boatman helped us put on life jackets and light our lanterns, and then he took us on a 20-25 minute ride along the river, which was full of colorful lights ❤️🏮 This is definitely one of our best memories of Hoi An, along with the lantern-making workshop ❤️

It was a great experience watching this show. If you didn’t avail any add ons (which I suggest) just go directly to Đảo Ký Ức Hội An - Cổng đón khách Cầu Ánh Trăng or the Moon Bridge. there are several food options available on site such as buffet (300,000 VND per person). Be at the Memories Show hall at 7:15 PM so you can choose your best seat. the show starts at 8PM and ends at 9PM.

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!

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.

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.

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.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. It's a family business where it's a lot of cousins and siblings taking care of attendees. They are very ey kind and take care of everyone at their own speed so you get to take home a beautiful lantern. Bonus star for the play list. ^^
