From Da Nang/Hoi An: Coconut Village Basket Boat & Hoi An Tour

Ride a basket boat
in Cam Thanh Coconut Village

The small group tour picks you up at 12:00 in Da Nang or 13:00 in Hoi An and heads to Cam Thanh Coconut Village. Glide along the waterways through the peaceful coconut forest by basket boat, learn how to row Vietnam's unique bamboo basket boat and try paddling yourself. You can also watch a basket boat performance.

Walk through Hoi An Ancient Town and its history

Move on to Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and learn about its history as a thriving trading port at the Museum of Trade Ceramics. Explore Tan Ky Old House, a 200-year-old merchant house blending Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese architecture, and the Cantonese Assembly Hall, famous for its ornate carvings, then stop at the Japanese Covered Bridge, the symbol of Hoi An.

Have dinner and release flower lanterns on the Hoai River

In your free time, browse the lantern-lit Hoi An night market, shop for local handicrafts or take photos. After a dinner of local specialties, take a boat on the Hoai River at sunset and release a flower lantern while making a wish. The tour ends around 18:30 in downtown Hoi An and around 19:30 in downtown Da Nang.

The full-day option also visits Lady Buddha and the Marble Mountains

The "Lady Buddha, Marble Mountains, Coconut Jungle, Hoi An City" option lasts about 11 hours, first visiting Linh Ung Pagoda (Lady Buddha), the Marble Mountains and Am Phu Cave, then continuing with the basket boat ride in Cam Thanh Coconut Jungle, Hoi An Ancient Town, local Hoi An food and the Hoai River boat trip with lanterns.
