    What makes Hoi An’s coconut forest so special?

    The Hoi An water coconut forest is perfect for relaxing, where the surrounding green coconut trees and river give people a peaceful vibe. The forest spans over 100 hectares of land and grows right on the river, making it a lovely stop for travelers.
    The forest is special for its beauty and history. The calm views of the coconut trees during my Hoi An eco adventure were a treat to my soul, but the stories that were shared with me made the experience more memorable.

    A Diverse Ecosystem

    The forest is not just beautiful; it is home to crabs, fish, and birds. There are locals who work in the forest for fishing and also collect raw materials from coconuts for a living.
    They use the coconut trees as cover and shade from the heat, and even use their leaves to build their traditional houses' roofs. And of course, you can enjoy delicious, nutritious coconut water!

    Hoi An coconut forest history

    The coconut forest is almost 200 years old; it is during the times of the Vietnam War that its thick trees hid soldiers fighting for their freedom.
    Locals devised a clever method of using coconut husks as covers to their weapons; they would even insert real guns in these husks to confuse their enemies.
    For the locals, the coconut forest is not just nature; it is a representation of the strength of Vietnam.
