Half-day Hoi An Countryside Bike Tour and Basket Boat with Lunch
Description
This is a half-day bike tour to Hoi An with a local professional tour guide who knows Hoi An the way only a local would. The back lanes, the villagers' names, and urban myths passed down through generations by moms These are the aspects of our tours that help our guests feel like they've made a real connection with the locals. It is the stories, myths, and legends told by the very people who hold their meanings in their hearts. And, of course, the occasional local delicacy to tease your palate and to write home about.

Itinerary
Our friendly guide will pick up your group at the hotel or meeting point, transfer to our bike store for a bike fitting and a helmet, and cycle the backstreets from Hoi An to Cam Kim Island. From here, we spend a morning on bicycles to discover local farms, rivers, canals, and rural villages. Learn the secret of weaving colorful straw sleeping mats, see how wooden boats are made, and watch farmers and buffalos working in rice fields—lots of opportunities for photos and Instagram moments.
The Cam Kim Bridge straddles the Thu Bon River. From this vantage point, you can view the picturesque countryside and a very different view of the ancient town.
Kim Bong Village is an ancient shipbuilding village. Now a carpentry shop that supplies Hoi An. Stop to view the lovely wood carving and how reed mats are woven and dyed.
We check in with a family of noodle makers who have been supplying Hoi An's restaurants for three generations around 11:30 a.m.Learn how to make Hoi An traditional noodles and Banh Dap cake, and enjoy what they have made for lunch.
We load our bicycles on a private boat and enjoy a relaxing boat ride back to Hoi An. The tour ends at your hotel in Hoi An or at the drop-off point.

This was one of the best tours we have ever done. Hanna was a fun and informative guide who introduced us to some wonderful people and stories of this region. On the way we learned a bit about the local skills the people have developed to make a life for themselves.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour and Hanna’s guiding. It’s heartwarming to hear you connected with the local stories and skills that make this region so special. We hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences soon!
Riding a bike through the back streets of Hoi An and out to the countryside was a great experience. stopping to learn about Rice Wine, Sleeping mats and making our own noodles for a generous lunch. Our English speaking guide, Mr Hoc Dinh was so very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for him. I highly recommend this tour and consider it well priced. Thank you Hoc for a great day.
Thank you so much for your review. I am glad you enjoyed the experience. The fresh noodle is just out of this world. Hope to see you again on another of our experience.

Fantastic day. I'm a big guy and was catered for easily. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see Hoi An "off the beaten track" so to speak.
Thanks for the opportunity
It was such a great tour that I had a chance to experience with my family. We had a enjoyable biking time and explored the scenic countryside. This really fits for those who are interested in seeing other part of Hoi An and finding relaxing time. Tour guide’s very friendly and knowledgeable about Hoi An where he grew up.
Thank you for letting us know. We look forward to hosting you again.
We had the best time on my bike tour in January! The weather was perfect for cycling and the views were incredible. Our tour guide had a great sense of humour, which made the trip even more enjoyable. He also had an extensive knowledge of the area, which meant he could tell us all about what we were seeing as we rode through the countryside. Best of all, We felt safe under his guidance; he truly looked out for our wellbeing throughout the entire experience.
We're glad you had a good time. Look forward to seeing you again
