About this service
Discover the greener and less touristy side of Vietnam with this exciting 3-hour exploration of a village near Hoi An. Pick up at your hotel/accommodation in central Hoi An, before hopping on a bike and heading to the village. Visitors can enjoy the view of lush greenery and vibrant flowers as they cycle through crystal clear rivers and rice paddies. Once you arrive at your destination, you will immerse yourself in local culture and traditions as you try traditional fishing with nets and visit handicraft shops with bamboo products. Hop into a bamboo basket boat and get a short instruction on how to row it, then head to the mangrove forest and learn about it from your English speaking guide. Return to the village and get ready for a show like no other as villagers perform inside the basket boats, race the boats, and demonstrate their unique fishing skills. You will also meet and get to know some of the locals as you stop by a local’s home and enjoy traditional Vietnamese snacks such as spring rolls, banh xeo, and some refreshing drinks. After eating, say goodbye to your host family and wrap up, before you are dropped off back in Hoi An. Explore the charming countryside of Central Vietnam by bicycle!
