Description
Escape the busy streets of Hoi An and spend a day with nature when you purchase this Cam Thanh Coconut Forest ! Cam Thanh Village is considered as the green lung of Hoi An thanks to its large collection of coconut trees. The charming location is often compared to the famous Mekong delta, but here you’ll ride adorable basket boats instead of the usual three-plank wooden vessels. One basket boat can fit two adults and one child, making it a great family bonding activity! After rowing through small channels and appreciating the verdant coconut trees, you’ll also watch a one-of-a-kind boat show care of the locals residing in the area! Go home with a unique memento of your visit when you join a souvenir-making workshop using coconut leaves.

A great antidote to temple overload!
This trip was a fabulous mix of serene and absolutely bonkers! It was a great way to spend an hour and the perfect antidote to “temple overload”

Mad fun
This was great fun really enjoyed the boat ride through the mangrove Palms and then out into the surreal demented experience of the open water area with the karaoke spinning boats on everything else

Interesting experience, but also a bit surreal
Interesting navigation in the narrowest channels a bit surreal navigation when you arrive on the river. Music shot at maximum volume on multiple platforms a few meters apart and stunts with this coconut basket. Tour however well organized.
