Highlights

Cam Kim Island - Experience making rice noodles or rice crackers with Mrs. Luan’s family. The process includes taking rice grains, mixing them with water, and grinding them into rice milk. You’ll learn to use a traditional stone rice grinder and then try making some yourself.
Duy Xuyen District - Assist a local family in weaving colorful sleeping mats. These mats, made from natural materials and primarily used as bed covers, remain popular despite competition from other brands. Thanks to improved handlooms, better sedge processing, and unique techniques, weavers have created renowned artisanal mats that are exclusive to this region.
Cua Dai Bridge - Enjoy breathtaking views from Cua Dai Bridge, comparable to those of Sydney Harbor and Sandakan Harbor in Sabah.
Quoc Linh Eco Village - Take a fun ride in a round basket boat under the shade of palm trees along the river. This basket boat ride offers unforgettable experiences while exploring Vietnam.
Tra Que Vegetable Village - With its lush green scenery and rural setting, Tra Que Vegetable Village in Hoi An is a must-visit. Meet a friendly water buffalo and ride on her back. Water buffaloes are common in the countryside, and riding one will give you insight into Vietnamese customs and daily life.
Hoi An - After engaging in many fun activities on the tour, enjoy an amazing five-course meal at a charming local restaurant.

Experience real rural Hoi An countryside life - 1000% recommend doing the Hoi An rural villages & river island tour with Chicky and Local Buddy Tours! I did the private scooter tour with Chicky (Trung) who is the best tour guide/ photographer/ videographer and down to earth man you’ll ever meet. He goes above and beyond with creating a video for me! So humbled and grateful to learn about the rural life and history surrounding Hoi An’s countryside from rice noodle making (which I got to eat), beautiful and colourful mat making (brought a little souvenir) and going on a bamboo basket boat (so much fun). Thank you Chicky!
