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!

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.
