What you actually see

2 places on this day, in the order you reach them.

Cam Thanh coconut palms

A tidal water-coconut forest a few kilometres from Hoi An, threaded with narrow channels and worked from round bamboo basket boats. The palms were planted as cover during the war and the boats were a fishing tool long before they carried visitors. The spinning demonstration most guides give is a party trick, but the paddle through the channels is quiet and genuinely pretty.

Worth knowing: You will get splashed, and in the wet season you will get wet. Bring a dry bag for anything electronic.

Lantern making

The silk lanterns hanging over the old town are built on a split-bamboo frame, and the workshops let you make one: shape the ribs, bind the frame, stretch and glue the silk. It takes about an hour, it collapses flat for a suitcase, and it is the one souvenir from Hoi An you will have made yourself.

We publish the pickup window, the stops and the price here because those are the things you choose between. The minute-by-minute plan for the day comes from the guiding team and we send it with your confirmation, before any payment. If anything in it does not suit you, you can change or cancel.
