Best day in Hoi An. Highly recommend this experience! - Had such a beautiful experience yesterday! First we started with making a traditional lantern. Which was harder then it looks and made me truly appreciate the craftsmanship involved. Next off to the coconut village. Sam our coconut boat captain was so much fun. Make sure you pay the tiny bit extra to spin fast on one of the coconut boats. Just make sure you don’t eat before haha. Sam showed us fishing techniques and we caught and released a little crab. To end the day we had an authentic Vietnamese home cooked meal. Every dish was so flavourful and fresh. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Hoi An!

Favourite day spent in Hoi An - From start to finish the whole experience was amazing, from making lanterns to catching crabs, enjoying the coconut boat ride, to eating the best traditional food Hoi An has to offer, the banana salad was 10/10, super fresh ingredients and the flavours were delicious. Would definitely go back!
