Basket Boat & Coconut Forest Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Head out from Hoi An for a fun and peaceful journey into the nearby Bay Mau Coconut Forest, located in Cam Thanh Village. This area is famous for its traditional round basket boats, called Th\u00fang Ch\u00e0i<\/em>, made of bamboo and palm leaves.<\/p>\n

Climb into one of these boats with a local guide and drift through a maze of water coconut palms. Along the way, you\u2019ll see how local people live and fish, try your hand at crab fishing<\/strong>, and enjoy a unique basket boat dance-<\/strong>a thrilling spin show performed by experienced rowers. You\u2019ll also learn to throw fishing nets and make leaf origami from coconut fronds.<\/p>\n

As you float along the calm, green canals, listen to stories about the area\u2019s wartime history and natural ecosystem. This tour is a great mix of nature, culture, and light adventure, suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n

The basket boat ride lasts around 45\u201360 minutes and can be combined with other Hoi An activities like cooking classes or countryside bike rides.<\/p>\n
