Hoi An Cruzeiros

We booked while in Hoi An. We called a Grab, which was cheap and took about 10 minutes to drive. When we got out of the Grab, a staff member came and led us to the port for boarding. There's a clean restroom on site if needed. Although it was hot on a late June morning (around 9:40 a.m.), the blue sky and green water made for vivid, colorful pictures. We didn't do spins but enjoyed watching others spin. There were a few karaoke stages on the river which many locals enjoyed; it was fun to watch, but we didn't understand the songs at all. Our boatman helped us take 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 because 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 moment. 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!

It was great to be able to go on a truly relaxing and healing jungle exploration on a quiet river, unlike the crazy basket boats where everyone usually gathers to do Gangnam Style. It was a truly special experience because we didn't just buy the wish candles on the street, but folded them ourselves, wrote our wishes, and then took them with us. The guide was young and energetic, which made it fun. We received a reservation confirmation call from "Big Boss," and it turned out to be a really cute little Big Boss, haha. I highly recommend this to young Koreans.

Un punto culminante absoluto, ¡solo preste atención a las indicaciones para caminar! Reservé la experiencia "Desde Hoi An: Paseo en bote de coco, cena y liberación de linternas" y fue increíble. El paseo en bote de coco fue muy divertido y la cena estuvo genial. Soltar las linternas en el agua al final fue realmente mágico. Lo único menor es que después de la cena, nos dejaron cerca del área de las linternas, pero tuvimos que caminar un poco y nos perdimos un poco. Una mejor guía o indicaciones más claras para esa transición específica harían esto absolutamente perfecto. ¡Aún así lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

At first, I thought it was just a boat ride for sightseeing, but as we slowly passed through the lush coconut forest, I was able to experience Vietnam's nature up close. The boatman's skillful rowing and basket boat performance added to the fun, and we couldn't stop laughing. We also took beautiful photos, and it was a truly wonderful experience with my daughter. If you come to Hoi An, I highly recommend trying it at least once. It will surely remain a cherished memory of your trip. 😊

The meetup was conveniently at our hotel lobby and bicycles were brought here as well. Cycled leisurely for about 15km through local residential houses and rice fields with farmers and buffalos at work. Loved the local lifestyle conversation with the cycling guide at the rest stops. It was such a good exercise. No sunset seen during the evening boat cruise unfortunately due to cloudy weather but had a enriching story sharing by the guide along the boat cruise.
