Avoid-NO bike ride

Jan_R, Jan 2026

NOT value for money. Tour advertised cycling through countryside BUT NO CYCLING didn’t see or get a bike ride!!! “Riding” water buffalo took less than a minute albeit fun. Coconut boat was relaxing & there were opportunities (payable) to do karaoke or/& be spun extremely fast. Crab fishing consisted of a small cane &line with meat on but no takers so boat person just picked some crabs from a net. Lunch was good. The “guide” did a good job with organisation. Overall a very poor tour for the money. Hopefully Viator will read this & give 50% refund as only half a tour.

Do it!

Super worth it. The bike riding turned out to be one of the most immersive experiences in our one-month in Da Nang region, especially biking from the coconut boats to Hoi An. The coconut experience was awesome - obviously touristy, but not in an aggressive or abrasive way. We were glad we did it. The buffalo was quick but very unique and enjoyable. Food was good! Everyone very friendly. Driver on time and on point! Overall we loved it! Well organized and very communicative organizers!

Buffalo riding and basket boat ride

Awesome experience. From the start to the end we were looked after very well. Meeting the buffalo was the highlight for me. The basket boat ride was also very entertaining and we had some great photo opportunities. Thanks to Long and his team! Highly recommend this tour.

An entertaining adventure all the way

I didn’t have high expectations for this because of the price point but boy was I wrong. You really get the bang for your buck on this one. We saw beautiful rice paddy fields and took a ride on a gentle bull. Then we went on the coconut boat ride. What a pleasant surprise. It was quite entertaining! We finished off with a delicious lunch. Many opportunities for great photos. Just be prepared to take a long leisurely bike ride. As long as you’re capable of that, you’re in for a real treat. Don’t hesitate on this one!

Eine richtig tolle Halbtagstour!

War ein super Ausflug ins Umland von Hoi an. Das Wasserbüffelreiten war ein echtes Erlebnis. Die Korbboottour war sehr schön und unterhaltsam. Alles in allem, absolut empfehlenswert.
