Our tour was great value for money. Pick up from hotel and snack afterwards was included. Our boatman had limited English but was friendly and showed us a variety of things in the coconut forest. Fishing for ( and actually catching) crabs with a short baited string was a bonus. Definitely recommended.

Fun little trip to the coconut boats. Hotel pick up handy. Guide was great and energetic who rowed our boat, used google translate a lot of the time which was fine. Caught x2 crabs and had lots of photo opportunities. Would recommend this tour.

Fun Coco Boat Ride

MyHanh_N, Apr 2026

Fun, inexpensive, lovely way to cruise through the coconut forest. Friendly staff who make it fun. Enjoy coconut dessert/drink and coffee while watching the boaters go by. They provide nong la (straw hat) and big umbrella to shield from the sunny heat. Recommended if you’re in Hoi An area. Not too far from the old town.

Great value for money....

Sian_S, Apr 2026

Great value for money. Booking and contact with the tour company was super fast and easy. Highly recommend this activity for anyone thinking of doing the basket boat ride in the coconut forest.

Fun hour or two with the family

Helen_A, Mar 2026

Such a fun experience with the family. Sail down the river, see the coconut trees, watch fisherman try and make a catch and have a go at crab fishing. We paid the extra 100kVND to be spun. Hats, umbrellas provided for shade, which you need in this heat/UV . Took good care of us and made us smile. Came back to rice cakes and tea.

Rachel_L, Mar 2026

Fun time in the coconut boats, would have loved it to be more of a tour where we could learn some history and significance behind the experiencex

Meeting location inaccurate

John_H, Mar 2026

Boating was fun. Lots of vendors offering it. Best just to show up and do it rather than booking ahead and being locked in. The meeting location was inaccurate, which was frustrating.

Kelsy_L, Mar 2026

While it was pretty crowded with boats and tourists, it was a unique experience among the coconut groves. You can sing karaoke and spin around as add ons for the tour. Our guide was very cheerful and the site was beautiful!

How difficult it is sometimes to leave a review on Viator without app crashing! That said, had a great couple of hours - just long enough - with a brilliant oarsman, who had great energy and personality. Also had a great deal of patience in helping my wife hook a crab! Fully recommend this tour - we did with a hassle free pick and return to Hoi An.

Hoi An basket boat ride

Victoria_D, Jan 2026

Great hotel pick up service and the boat ride was great. We were asked if we wanted to spin (we said no) and so we were taken on a nice relaxing boat ride. Even tho there were other boats around, we were taken to a nice secluded quiet canal. My partner tried his have at getting the net and the elderly fishermen was amazing. Highly recommend.

Fun experience

Michelle_M, Jan 2026

Fun experience worth doing while in Hoi An. Take some cash so you can buy some photos and tip the local taking you for the ride.

Great morning out.

Zac_A, Jan 2026

Very good experience, 100,000 extra for a spin, and 100,000 for a printed photo, which I thought was reasonable. Our guide, Tyyehtuyet was brilliant, very funny and made a real effort. Lovely tea and cake at the end. Well worth it for the cost.

Good times!

Rebecca_L, Jan 2026

I had to change the pick up location after booking and it was so easy to do, the communication through what’s app was so easy. The guides on the boats are so fun. It was explained to us before getting on the boats that the spinning boats were extra and in my families opinion they were worth it. My boys, 17 & 14 were not fussed if we went or not but afterwards were so grateful I booked this activity.

Fun!

shultsllaha, Jan 2026

So worth it. They picked me up from my accomodation, had tea and snacks, and made sure I felt welcomed. Would absolutely do this again. Exactly lik what tiktok shows!

Unique experience

Amanda_M, Oct 2025

Very unique experience! Spinning in the boat will cost extra and they won’t tell you that until you get into their boat. Bring ponchos in case of rain
