Our tour stands out by combining multiple authentic local experiences into one seamless journey. From cruising through the Bay Mau Coconut Forest on a traditional basket boat to hands-on activities like making Vietnamese coffee with a phin filter, crafting your own Hoi An lantern, and cooking local specialties with a skilled chef — every moment is interactive and meaningful. Unlike standard tours, we focus on real cultural immersion. You don’t just watch — you participate. You connect with local traditions, learn directly from experienced locals, and create your own products to take home. All activities take place in a peaceful eco-setting at Phu Lanh, offering a more personal, less crowded atmosphere. With small group sizes, friendly guides, and a well-organized schedule, the experience feels relaxed, engaging, and truly memorable.

Such an amazing day! Food was delcious and the activities were much fun. Thank you :)
It was a last min. booking, literally few hrs before the activity. I like the whole flow of itinerary. So glad that the tour has the cooking class + lantern making too (Which I really wanna try) And luckily I dont have to book separately cos I have limited time in Hoi an. They gave us a free coffee making class too as a bonus in the tour. The assistant of Lily the guide has been so patient and taking photos and videos of me as Im recording my experience as a keepsake and memory.
We had the most amazing experience, we loved the coffee and lantern making and the cooking class was delicious!
Wow, best hands on cultural experience and value for money. Three activities all in the one place and price. The food was amazing as was the lantern making and coconut boat ride. Highly recommend this family run business.
It was really a great time! The team is so nice 😍 The icing on the cake: you leave with your lantern 🏮 and baguettes 🥢 as gifts! I advise you ++
