Hoi An Bay Mau Coconut Forest Bamboo Basket Boat Ride with Entry Ticket

Ride a bamboo basket boat
in the Bay Mau coconut forest

Enjoy a 45-50 minute basket boat ride in the Bay Mau water coconut forest in Cam Thanh village, Hoi An. The basket boat is a traditional fishing boat common in this area, and a local rower paddles you through the waterways between the coconut palms. The coconut village entry ticket and a conical hat for sun protection are included.

Follow the coconut forest waterways in a conical hat

Once on board, your rower hands you a conical hat, great for photos and shade on sunny days. Float slowly along the Thu Bon River waterways through the coconut forest, look for birds in the bushes and tiny crabs running along the sandbanks, and try paddling the boat yourself.

Enjoy the spinning boat show and local folk songs

Watch the basket boat spinning show and enjoy a short, improvised folk song performance by locals. It may be a little noisy due to karaoke-style performances. Spinning your own boat in the middle of the river is not included.

Choose hotel pickup or meeting on site

With the Hoi An hotel pickup option, you are picked up from your hotel in the Hoi An area and taken to the activity site and back. With the meeting point option, you meet a guide in a pink T-shirt at the Nong Thon Travel meeting point in the coconut forest.

※ Basket boats are rowed by locals, so communication in English is limited.
