It was a nice experience going up and down the Marble Mountain. Our guide, Long, gave helpful tips. He was friendly and attentive of our needs. The Coconut Basket Boat ride was so much fun. The Ancient Town was just okay. The dinner we had at Blue Gecko was delicious.

I never thought duck feeding could be so much fun but this turned out to be one of the best things we did during our Danang trip. Our guide Ryan made it an unforgettable experience with lots of once in a lifetime moments.

Wonderful and memorable experience! It was one of my best itinerary in my Vietnam trip. They are very warm, and jolly! Very patient in teaching us how to do the steps properly. The coffees we made are really gooood! Hope I’ll be able to make my own close to how it tasted during the class way back home. 🤣 I highly recommend!

A flawless activity from start to finish! Picked up directly at our hotel, we began with a tour of the market where the chef introduced us to and let us taste several local fruits. We then cooked and enjoyed various traditional dishes. To wrap up this wonderful late afternoon, we went on a very pleasant basket boat ride. Being in a small group makes the experience even better, and the value for money is excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend it!

A great and fun experience to enjoy Hoi An’s local culture! The boatman was entertaining and friendly, although you should expect to give a small tip at the end. Booking through Klook felt more reliable than random local operators and helped avoid potential scams. A larger group also made the experience more lively and happening, and the whole booking process was fast and reliable.

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!!!

The tour was amazing, and the boatman was friendly and very accommodating. Booking via Klook made it easy to identify a tour provider without being pressured or anxious about it. We only had to show our voucher, and the tour agency immediately arranged our boat tour.

Really enjoyed the Hoi An Memories Show—definitely a great experience if you want to see and learn more about the local culture through a live performance. We booked the Eco seating, which was enough for us; the seats weren’t the most comfortable, but it was still worth it for the experience. The seating is open-concept, and I’d recommend arriving around 7:30 PM for the 8:00 PM show so you have enough time to get settled. The staff guided everyone to their seats and the whole process was smooth and well organised. Overall, a really enjoyable experience!

What to expect in Hoi An

The things-to-do catalogue in Hoi An is led by Cruises, then Theme parks, Tours, Cultural experiences and Historical sites, so you’ll find a mix of relaxed river options, family-friendly attractions and guided tours to choose from. That variety means travelers can pick quick low-cost outings or spend more on richer guided experiences depending on mood. Demand peaks in March and is at its quietest in September, so March sees noticeably heavier bookings while September is much calmer. If you visit in the peak months expect popular time slots to be busier than in the trough month.

How to choose what to book

The main decision is whether you want the simplest, most affordable access or a wider, more premium experience — pick budget convenience or a fuller guided option. The widest range of prices is in Tours, where the typical price is USD 29 and options run from around USD 19 to USD 45, so shopping around can move you between basic and premium experiences. Cruises are the most affordable way in if you just need an entry-level outing, with a typical price of USD 5, while Theme parks have a narrow band so price-shopping gains less, typically around USD 24. Cultural experiences and Historical sites sit in the mid-range where what’s included varies most, letting you choose between shorter visits and more immersive options.

When travelers from the United States book

Most travelers book very close to arrival, with most bookings made about 1 day ahead, while the earliest planners book around 7 days ahead. Because typical booking is last-minute, plan on booking within a week of travel rather than months out. That short lead time matters most around the March peak, when demand is highest.

How prices compare across categories

The table below shows how Hoi An’s top activity categories compare on price so you can set a budget before choosing.

Category	Typical Price	Usual Range
Cruises	USD 5	USD 3 – USD 5
Theme parks	USD 24	USD 21 – USD 26
Tours	USD 29	USD 19 – USD 45
Cultural experiences	USD 14	USD 13 – USD 18
Historical sites	USD 5	USD 5 – USD 5

Typical price is the median paid on Klook; the usual range covers the middle half of bookings, so cheaper and pricier options exist outside it; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, August 2025 – July 2026.
