Oplev Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket

I was very disappointed with our boat ride experience in Hoi An. We were charged 500,000 VND (about AUD $28) for what turned out to be only a 25-minute boat ride. Unfortunately, the boat operator spoke very little English, and we were not clearly told the price or the duration before getting on the boat. We simply sat on the boat and didn’t really enjoy the experience because we felt we had been seriously overcharged. The price did not reflect the short ride or the service we received. I recommend that anyone visiting Hoi An confirm the total price, duration, and what is included before boarding any boat to avoid the same disappointment. Hopefully, this helps other tourists avoid being caught in the same situation.

Liars and scammers. The taxis and grabs drop you off at the worst possible company. Get away from that place as quickly as possible. They harass you for tips and try to charge several times more than the other companies. Utter vermin.

Scammer !!!! They annonce that the boat tour is 40min long. They took a photo of us 30min before leaving and the tour were ONLY 10min long. When the tour finished, we asked for explanation, they showed us the pictures they took before the begining of the tour to justify. They are liars and scammers !!!! DO NOT COME !!!

There are multiple operators in the area and the drivers take you to the one with the biggest commission and then the operator tells you you’re at the wrong address and you have to travel another hour. It’s the biggest scam ever, they get you in the boat and you’re forced to tip everyone out on the water because they have you in the boat already, unethical and completely dishonest business. Spining charge you twice. NEVER go here PHI RUNG DUA BASKET BOAT

We were also dropped at Phi Rung Dua by our grab driver, promptly escorted in my staff and asked to pay 1,200,000 for 2 people. We really enjoyed the boat ride and like other reviews below agree that it isn’t about the money. However, Phi Rung Dua are over charging which leaves tourist disappointed and second guessing whether to trust future driver recommendations.

I made the rookie mistake of asking the Grab driver his recommendation, and he took us to the Phi Rung Dua. As in cue, the staff greeted us at the taxi, escorted us to a table and promptly told me it was 1,600,000 for 2 people. I asked how long was the tour and was told it was 30 minutes and I should be expected to tip the boat oarer. It seemed steep, but I agreed. As I was waiting, I started looking at the reviews and other pricing. My heart dropped. Normal prices are in the range of 200,000 to 400,000 per person. I was so upset I couldn't enjoy it all, but I had to put on a happy face, as it was my friends birthday, and I didn't want to ruin it. To top everything off, they offered a hat at an extra price. When I tipped 100,000, the boat handler to me it was too little, and I said I had paid 1.6 million for this and they let it go. DO NOT GO THERE!

Went by grab to the coconut farm in Hoi An Everything is usually a good price in Vietnam with lovely people but not when you go directly to the round boat coconut farm and pay there.. 800000 dong for 2 people. Which worked out to be around $47 Australian. Then we were asked for tips. Would NOT RECOMMEND.

Located in Chiang Mai, Vietnam, the company offers a one-time raincoat for two people. There are entertainment shows along the way, and you can also sing. Be aware of bringing a little more cash, providing a small fee for boat owners and performers.

We expected to walk the river through the coconut trees but this is only the case for a few meters... then you are led to do activities in order to get tips here and there... photos in front of signs, games on the water, photos with a fisherman... frankly, we were largely disappointed because we thought we would take a peaceful walk through the forest... it will appeal to groups of friends who want to have a laugh, not to people looking for authenticity. Be careful, women on scooters harass you at the entrance to the village and take you to the boat pontoon in a very insistent manner. 150,000 dongs / 2 people + 60,000 dongs entry to the site…

great moment of distraction, the activity is really a show: club music, fishing net throwing, photo in palm trees, dancing on site coconuts with music... The attraction is nice, we spent 1 hour there. Be careful here also we have to negotiate, we negotiated at 400,000vd for 3 people.
