Hoi An Countryside Tour: 7-in-one-tour

Your guide meets you at your hotel for a quick briefing before helping you get set up with your bicycle. Once ready, you’ll start cycling out toward the countryside, heading for Cam Thanh Village.

Enjoy the fresh air as you pass shrimp farms, duck ponds, buffalo in the fields, and rows of bamboo along the road. There are plenty of chances to stop for quick photos and take in the peaceful scenery.

Hop into a round bamboo basket boat and paddle through the water coconut palm forest — a unique feature of this coastal region. Try your hand at crab fishing and learn about local life from the boat rowers.

Continue cycling to a nearby fishing village still active today. Meet local fishermen and see their daily catch — from squid to crab — while learning how traditional fishing has adapted to modern times.

You’ll have a choice between two local experiences:

• Buffalo riding – Climb onto a gentle buffalo with guidance from local farmers and snap some fun photos.
• Lantern making – Learn how to make a classic Hoi An lantern and take it home as a souvenir.

Cycle a short distance to Tra Que, a small organic farming village known for its fresh herbs and vegetables. Sip a welcome drink and stroll through the gardens while meeting local farmers.

Join farmers in the fields and learn how to weed, prepare soil, plant vegetables, and water the crops. It’s light work and a fun way to connect with local traditions.

Take a short break and relax with a foot soak using traditional herbal remedies grown in the village.

Now it’s time to cook! Learn how to make a few classic dishes like banh xeo (crispy rice pancakes) and tam huu (a fresh spring roll). Your guide will help you with each step.

Sit down to enjoy the full meal you’ve prepared, along with several other regional specialties (usually a total of 7 dishes). It's a satisfying and tasty break before the afternoon activity.

Head to the nearby Bach Dang dock and board a small boat with local fishermen. Cruise along the Thu Bon River and try your luck casting a net the traditional way. Enjoy views of the waterway as you continue toward the peaceful Dai Chiem estuary.

After the boat ride, your guide will take you back to your hotel by car or bike, depending on the final location and your preference. Expect to arrive around 4:00 PM, with a full day of local memories behind you.
