World Biosphere Reserve in Hoi An and Da Nang: taken this tour three times out of our five visits to Hoi An and Da Nang
We have taken this tour three times out of our five visits to Hoi An and Da Nang. This is a World Biosphere Reserve, and the tour activities are truly wonderful. If you visit Hoi An and Da Nang without coming here, it's as if you haven't seen the most beautiful coastal city in the world. The tour guide is very enthusiastic, and the food is delicious. This tour is very affordable for what we received. This time, we contacted the tour's travel expert to design a private tour for our family and friends. They supported us a lot through WhatsApp at +84886559609. We booked three months in advance before arriving. Thank you so much!
Enjoyable, well priced, but there’s room for improvement
Very confusing check in. Limited safety instructions. Rushed through village tour. Got left behind. Lunch stop was too long. Lunch food was ok, but not necessary to have so much food. Perhaps less food and cheaper price? The two men/captain on our boat were wonderful and helpful with getting on and off boat and with life jackets. They deserve praise. Snorkelling was enjoyable, although not the tropical experience we expected. Not the fault of the tour though. Not sure why we really needed to go to second beach. Tour guide was informative and clearly knew about history, local foods, etc, at first stop. Unfortunately, we felt rushed through the island, and communication was lacking.
Suggestions would be to make it half day tour, with more of focus on the first island. Lunch at main village would have been a better idea so we get more time to explore, buy things and support the locals. Maybe snorkelling first, then time at the island?
We enjoyed our experience, despite the above issues. If you take it into consideration and still decide to go, you probably won’t be disappointed.
It was also significantly cheaper than the price if booked through our hotel.
Our expectations weren’t matched, use this review to lower them, but we’d still recommend this tour, as we did have a good time.
There is room for improvement.
A great tour
Lunch was great, fresh seafood. I opted to do scuba instead of snorkeling, which cost extra but was totally worth it. The private beach was beautiful. I'd definitely do it again.
