No one contacted us or turned up for the pick up. We did not get to do this experience. Have requested full refund.

This is just a great trip to take.
Fairly short duration, no fuss and hassle.
Super fun time had by all and ridiculously cheap.
Don't overthink it, just book it.

It was a nice ride down the river and back. I wouldn’t recommend this tour. It was only an hour and it was fun.

So much fun! About 45 minutes. Great if you’re looking for an experience that won’t take several hours. Well organised including hotel pick up and drop off. Beautiful friendly locals.

The boat tour was great fun! There were some stops to showcase their entertainment. Only downside was that my armpits got bad chafing, which led to wounds tearing the skin on both armpits.

They never showed up! I called, texted the day before to verify pick-up; however, the tour never showed up. I tried to text them day of—nothing as well. Save your money, go to another tour. It’s much if booked in Hoi An as well.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
You did not use our tour, I do not understand why you rate like that. You originally booked day 2, then you changed to day 3, we still happily agreed. You said you would go between 3:00-4:00pm. We also agreed. At 2:30pm, your hotel receptionist called to ask about the price and pick-up fee. I asked if it was you? They deliberately said no. I waited for your message to pick you up on time. You canceled 30 minutes in advance. Requested a refund. We also refunded you. Now you rate like this.

Our guide was amazing and very funny! Lovely guy. Took the best pictures and was very friendly. Unfortunately we can't remember his name.

Great value trip, thoroughly enjoyed it, got picked up from hotel and dropped back. The lady in the boat took great care of us and made the trip extra special.

The coconut boat tour was great and a lot of fun! Pick up and drop off was extremely well organised and contact was made through Watsapp. The tour itself lasted around an hour and was fun with the option to pay more if you wanted to be spun and no pressure if you didn’t want to. Would definitely recommend this tour

Great tour for a great price. The tour included hotel pick up and drop off, coconut boats and the cooking class.
This was my favourite activity in Vietnam. The cooking class was amazing and we had so much food to eat afterwards!!
The coconut boats were really fun, our boat operator was great and took lots of photos for us along the way. Too them extra if you want to do the fast spinning boat - my daughter did this and loved it!!

This actually exceeded my expectations, which were not high to be honest (based on the touristy vibe)…. However, I loved it!!! The entire tour was kind of an obstacle course of entertainment around every corner on the water - spinning / singing / little alcoves to go through. It was very nice. My boat driver was very kind and offered to take many photos. Know that you will have to pay extra to have the spinning done - I did not want that and they respected my wishes. I did the cooking class which might have been the highlight. It was a personal class with the chef - so amazing! Do the option with transport!

Ah so much fun, who'd imagine you could have such a good time on these little boats. They are really cool. The river is pretty and it was also exciting to see all the activities and liveliness of locals on the river. I had a chance to spin, to sing, to row and even to look for crabs and once I was done, I did a cooking class to learn to cook Vietnamese style and that was also a great deal of fun. I highly recommend this.

I took this tour late in the afternoon. It was quieter and the sunset made the experience really lovely. My boat guide was great and took many photos. You will need to pay to go around quickly in one of the other coconut boats. There was music and a fun party atmosphere. Wish I knew what the coconut forest was. This wasn’t explained at all, still enjoyed it.
Vanessa_R, Oct 2024
Great fun and reasonable price for the experience, little muddled at the end of the experience of where to go for our ride back to the hotel. Would definitely recommend.
Claire_S, Sep 2024
Great experience, pick up and drop off included, friendly tour guide; we even received 2 bottles of water and some fruit after our trip. Well worth the visit

This trip was pretty cool if your coming from the old town and are happy to ride a motorbike it’s definetly cheaper to get a grab there and back but the sign for green coconut tours is at the back of the structure so you might have to look a little hard . The dancing boats are pretty cool to watch and the who was paddelinv the boat I was on was really upbeat and enthusiastic . I got a slightly slower spin around in the boat - I was not expecting this and honestly it made me feel a little Ill but was a fun experinace none the less . Also got to see and hold a little tiny crab and try paddelinv the boat which is a hell of a lot harder than it looked I kept spinning us round in circles

I booked it 4 hours before I went there and everything went perfectly. I contacted the operator and they responded immediately with the location of the start point (I didn’t choose the pick-up option).

A slight hiccup to start this excursion as the tour company had the wrong day on their calendar. However, one quick phone call and the driver was on scene for pickup in less than ten minutes. It was a lot of fun and very enjoyable to watch the antics of some of the boat drivers. They are hilarious! A great way to spend some time on a nice Vietnam day!

It was an amazing experience. Fun on the river with the little coconut boats. People blaring music and dancing. The lady stopped and took some amazing pictures for us. Very good value for money.
Tracey_F, Aug 2023
Booked this last minute. I was a little hesitant as I didn't have a time to choose from. They were quick to message me and ask when I'd like to be picked up. Everything went great. Mind it is crowded but still fun.
