Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat

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

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.

A unique boat ride in a coconut basket boat along a short street h of the river. Only 3 person on a round basket boat including the rower. Entertained by skillful single paddlers doing their acts in their round boats apart from karaoke singer at designated locations. PAS by a stretch of river palms with lots of rope fruits too

We really enjoyed it; therefore , the 4 stars. We'd recommend this tour. It's a new tour so there is some room for some minor improvements. Hotel pick up, taxi, was arranged by the guide which was very helpful. We paid for the taxi but it was still convenient. The return taxi to the hotel was a little bit more than the initial taxi but not much, just be aware. The tour is new so the young guide/owner made every effort to make sure we enjoyed ourselves which we did. We may have been the first guests so he's off to a great start. He provided juice and coffee and some fresh fruit. The tour is actually linked with his new restaurant but it was too early in the day for food service. I got to try tossing the fishing net, taught by a local fisherman on his fishing boat. A first for me. I sucked at it so I won't be changing careers. Tipped a $1. There was a guy in another basket boat showing off his boating skills to the Gangnam Style music. Hard to believe but it was entertaining. Tipped $1 Just remember to keep some small bills/currency for tips. We truly wish the guide all the best and a successful business.

We highly recommend this experience! We opted to pay extra to be picked up by a driver and dropped at the location of the excursion. Upon drop-off, we were warmly met by Thanh, our guide. He took us to have some fresh fruit and freshly squeezed juice as he explained the itinerary for the excursion. Then, we got into our boat and enjoyed sailing along the non-crowded river. The man rowing our boat was very friendly and pointed out different highlights and attractions along the way. He also stopped to teach us to crab fish, which we quickly became successful with! He also took us to a fisherman who taught us how to fish with a net -- we were less successful with this but learning the technique was still fun! we were not at all harassed for tips, which we appreciated, but we chose to anyway because of how kind everyone was. After the cruise, we were given more fresh juice, which we loved.
