Cruzeiros em Thanh Ha Pottery Village

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!!!

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.

Fun activity to do with kids.

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.

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.

It was very easy to find and very easy to get to the boat. Once we were on, the food and drink was great and we had a fantastic seat and it was a beautiful night with a lovely view. The music was great if you wanted to dance, but it was also quiet enough just to sit and watch.

It was a good experience on the Hercules cruise. We were a group of 3 friends (all girls) and we boarded the limousine bus, which took us about 2 and a half hours to reach the deck. Our tour guide, Tình, was quite informative. At the deck, they welcomed us with a drink and a towel. Soon after, we had lunch, which offered a lot of vegetarian and non-vegetarian varieties. We visited the pearl farm, Sung Sot Cave (it was majestic, though about 700 steps), Ti Top Island (full of people, so we didn’t go), and enjoyed a free bamboo boat ride. By the time it ended, we had snacks and drinks. We came back relaxing at the top of the cruise. It was a good experience overall, and I think most cruises will offer similar amenities. Remember, they are very particular about timings; they won't hesitate to leave you if you are late.

My day voyage on the cruise was the absolute highlight of our Vietnam trip and worth every single penny. From the moment we stepped into our pristine, modern suite with its breathtaking its views of the cruise, the attention to detail was flawless. The onboard amenities—especially the stunning infinity pool felt like a floating five-star resort rather than a standard boat, and the dining exceeded all expectations by beautifully blending local Vietnamese flavors with international cuisine. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the impeccable and warm service from the crew, who anticipated our every need and perfectly organized the kayaking and cave excursions so we could avoid the heavy tourist crowds.
