Additionally, you’ll receive a small gift from the store as a token of appreciation.
- Cam Kim Island - The second stop is a homemade noodle factory. Here, you’ll observe how local families produce noodles and rice paper from rice grains. The process involves five steps: soaking rice for about 6 hours, grinding it with water, heating a specialized pot, adding the mixture, rolling it into a ball, covering it for about 3 minutes, then placing it on a bamboo tray. For fresh noodles, take the product from the bamboo tray and cut it by hand or machine. To make rice paper, dry it and then grill it over charcoal. You’ll watch the local family perform these steps and then try it yourself. Finally, you’ll enjoy rice paper and tea.
- Kim Bong Carpentry Village - The next stop is the carpenter’s village, where you’ll see many beautiful products made from wood and bamboo. These items require a lot of time and patience to create. You can also observe the boat-building process, which is quite impressive.
- Tra Nhieu Fishing Village - The last stop is the mat village. Here, you’ll see, learn, and participate in mat-making. Locals use mats as mattress replacements during hot weather (many years ago, they didn’t have air conditioning) and they can be reused after hand washing.
- Hoi An - After the tour, we’ll drive to a local restaurant to enjoy a light vegetarian lunch.

The best motorcycle tour in HOI AN to discover the real countryside. A personal experience at every point of the trip. Experience in making a ceramic product using a traditional manual method. How do you make rice paper? interesting? We will learn and try making rice paper. In the Carpenter Village we will see the carpenters at work designing and carving wood. We will also be able to see the ship carpenters on the river busy renovating and manufacturing wooden ships.

Arriving at the mat village, we can watch the women and small children {the new generation} weave mats and weave the threads, creating colors for the carpets that will later be used as sleeping mats {a mattress replacement}. You will also have the opportunity to experiment with the weaving process. A special experience..
