The coconut boat ride was such a fun activity! Gliding through the peaceful waterways surrounded by lush coconut trees was incredibly scenic. The local boatmen were skilled and entertaining, showing off spinning boat tricks and even singing traditional songs. It’s a fantastic cultural experience for families and friends. Highly recommend for a memorable adventure in Vietnam!

We booked the afternoon cooking class and coconut boat tour and had an amazing time here. Definitely the best cooking class we have been to! We cooked 5 delicious dishes and they were honestly the nicest meals we have had in Vietnam so far. Thank you for looking after us so well.

A must-see show. The performance takes place in an outdoor theater and tells the story of Hoi An evolution through time. Everything from the actors to setting, lightning, costumes and overall production is world class.

The Hoi An boat ride at night was an enchanting experience, offering a serene journey through the lantern-lit waterways of this historic town. The shimmering reflections of colorful lanterns on the water created a magical ambiance, perfect for soaking in the beauty and charm of Hoi An. The gentle pace of the boat, accompanied by the soft glow of the lanterns, made it a tranquil and memorable experience. Whether you’re looking for a romantic outing or a peaceful family activity, this ride captures the soul of Hoi An’s vibrant yet calming nighttime atmosphere.
