Basket boat tour - We only did the basket boat tour, the lady running the place is lovely and very friendly. The tour was great, the man who took us out showed us some local fishing techniques. They gave us free water and cold towels as it was so hot that day. We couldn't stay for lunch but the food looked good, would recommend

Fun basket boat and coffee making experience - We had so much fun going down the river and spinning in the basket boats for an extra 100k dong. We ended up catching a few coconut crabs in the Palm forest with some bait. And let out a net to catch one fish in the water which we let go. We made delicious coffee and had a yummy noodles. A great family owned company who are attentive at every step of the way.

Best Experience in Hoi An - Nice staff who made me feel welcome since we had arrvied! Nice route begined with enclosed environment where we indulged ourselves in the tranquility of the area and continues towards open waters where we enjoyed the hustle and bustle.

Nice tour - We went on this tour around the coconut forest in the morning when it was less crowded. We even caught a crab! The local lunch was yummy. It would've been nice to learn more about the history and ecosystem of the forest, but nonetheless, it was a lovely quick last minute tour we booked for a free day we had!

Highly recommendable, really interesting and surprising tour - Very nice experience, even by rain. You meet local farmer and learn how to plant rice, and have the opportunity to ride a very friendly buffalo. Then the basket boat tour, very beautiful and out of the time through the canal before reaching the very animated river with spectacles and spinning show. We patiently fished with our captain and were successful. On return, you eat the hoi an special noodle and they bring you back to the hotel. It was a very nice experience, well organized and friendly guides. Thank you for these beautiful memories.

Great fun and something we have never done before . - This was such a fun thing to do. It was pretty rowdy when we went lots of good fun though. Our bamboo boat paddler really wanted us to have a good time. She kept singing and wanting us to be happy. The experience was capped off by a lovely lunch at the facility. They also have great Vietnamese coffee. I highly recommend for a fun time.

Wonderful, must try!! - Beautiful experience! The boat rowers are such hard workers and they row the basket boats beautifully. They take great pictures and are very friendly even though they only speak Vietnamese. Would definitely recommend riding these! They also provide life jackets, hats, and an umbrella. Such respect for these workers!

Interesting experience by a friendly host - We booked the tour which included round trip transfer between the hotel to the fishing village, the ride on the basket boat, and the lunch (noodle and tasty iced coffee). The host was run by a family business, friendly staff despite of the language barrier. The ride on basket boat was a superb experience and the performance by the fisherman was exciting. The surroundings along the riverside was relaxing and pleasant journey. We departed at 10 am and it was a good timing (escape the heat). Surely it was a highly recommended activity.
