Tour Description

Experience the best of Hoi An's countryside in one unforgettable tour. Start with a gentle water buffalo ride through lush rice paddies led by a local farmer, then hop into a traditional bamboo basket boat and glide through the winding canals of the coconut forest.

Your Ao Dai rider escorts you from Hoi An to a family farm where you will meet the buffalo, learn how to climb on, and ride through the soft green fields. After the ride, feed the buffalo fresh greens and snap photos with these gentle giants.

Next, head to the famous Coconut Forest (Bay Mau) where you board a round bamboo basket boat. Your boat rower spins, weaves, and glides you through shaded palm canals. Watch a thrilling coconut-leaf boat dance performance, try your hand at paddle fishing, and enjoy the serene rhythm of the water.
