A Fun-Filled Morning in the Coconut Forest of Hoi An
I always thought Hoi An was just the calm, ancient port town that I would visit to escape the hustle and bustle of life, until I took the Hoi An basket boat trip full of fun, laughter, and peaceful beauty.
This fun trip through the coconut forest on the river is a great addition to any traveler's must-do list in Hoi An.
Join VIET DOVE Travel on a Hoi An basket boat tour for an unforgettable Hoi An eco tour.
Cruising Down the River in a Basket Boat Adventure
I started my day with a step onto a circular basket boat that would hold 3 of us: me, my friend, and the local driver.
I sat opposite the local rower, who greeted us cheerfully as we proceeded to glide along the calm river's water with coconut palm trees above us. I am a nature lover, and there is just something about this moment that made me feel so peaceful. It's hard to describe.

The Spinning Dance and a Surprise Gift
Midway through this adventure, we spotted a local performer spinning in circles in his basket boat. He stood up, paddle in hand, and danced as the boat spun around with him. Wow!
My driver pointed to the performer, then pointed to me, as a sign, "Do you want to give it a shot?"
I replied with an enthusiastic nod, and very shortly thereafter, our boat started spinning! I was holding on for dear life, and my heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest. I had no idea that something like this would happen.

Watching Locals Cast Fishing Nets
Next, our guide brought us to a fisherman who was preparing his flurry of colorful nets. With all of his might, he made a gorgeous toss, and it floated as a perfect circle in the river. It was not just fishing, but art. I found myself enchanted by the elegance and beauty of this simple task and the skill it took.
Sing with Locals: Karaoke on the River!
Just when I was about to think this tour couldn't get any better, we stopped by a smaller stage on the river where local performers were singing karaoke in English, Chinese, Korean, ...
We were super excited, and the atmosphere was so fun and lively! I felt recharged and full of energy after that mini river concert with those talented locals.
