Itinerary

Your guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Hoi An around 14:30. After a quick briefing, you’ll head out to explore the countryside by bicycle.

Begin with a gentle ride along peaceful village roads surrounded by lush rice paddies and coconut groves. The route takes you through Cam Chau and Cam Thanh, two quiet communes just outside Hoi An known for their farming life and beautiful scenery. This ride is suitable for all levels, including beginners.

Along the way, stop at a local bamboo craft workshop. You’ll meet skilled artisans who specialize in making everyday items and decorations from bamboo. It’s a chance to see traditional techniques up close and learn about an important part of local craftsmanship.

After cycling, switch to a kayak and paddle into the peaceful waterways of the Cam Thanh coconut forest. This area is part of a mangrove ecosystem and still home to traditional fishing methods. You’ll pass by basket boats, bamboo traps, and see local fishermen and women working along the riverbanks. The paddling is calm and beginner-friendly, offering a unique view of local river life.

After about an hour on the water, return to the kayak station for a short break and refreshments. A taxi will take you back to your hotel around 17:30. Tour ends.
