Amazing experience!! Our tour guides were super friendly and spoke very good English. They communicated the pickup and drop off perfectly over WhatsApp. The buffalo experience was very unique and the coconut boats were relaxing. Would recommend booking with Tom the guide.
Enjoyed the bike ride to and from the boat ride. During the boat ride we got to fish for crabs which was fun but difficult.
Had a great time, it was perfect way to get a quick, fun, and informative trip in without spending an entire day on my first day to Hoi An. My guide[Eriik] was super!
We had a great time on this tour! Our guide Tom was friendly and punctual and knew a lot about the local area. We especially enjoyed the peaceful coconut river boat ride (away from noisy karaoke boats) where we got to fish for lucky crabs.

The duck stop (and duck massage!) is always a fun surprise, and we're glad Tom could make the experience even more special. Hope to see you again for another adventure! Amazing day!
Tom our guide was awesome. Catered for our 10yr old with smaller bike and constant check to make sure no one was overwhelmed as we zigzagged through the busy streets of Hoi An. Once we got out to the rice fields everything calmed down and it was a nice scenic ride through the country side.... and then came the buffalo "Se" a 15 yr old monster. But a gentle giant, had no issues with the whole family riding one at a time and lots of pats. Then continued through to the coconut forest to ride the bamboo baskets. Again great time had with the bamboo basket captain fishing for crabs with my son, before riding back to the start point. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Tom was informative and patient, and most importantly safe. Great time had by all
Dear Shane, THank you so much for your sokind feedback! We're really happy to hear that you and your family had such a great time on the tour. It’s great to know our guide took good care of everyone, especially making sure your 10-year-old was comfortable and that the ride felt safe and enjoyable throughout. We’re glad you enjoyed the mix of busy streets, peaceful rice fields, meeting the gentle buffalo, and the fun bamboo basket ride in the coconut forest -especially the crab fishing with your son! We hope to see your family again on another adventure soon!
