Disappointing Experience – Paid 500,000 VND for 25 Minutes

I was very disappointed with our boat ride experience in Hoi An. We were charged 500,000 VND (about AUD $28) for what turned out to be only a 25-minute boat ride. Unfortunately, the boat operator spoke very little English, and we were not clearly told the price or the duration before getting on the boat. We simply sat on the boat and didn’t really enjoy the experience because we felt we had been seriously overcharged. The price did not reflect the short ride or the service we received. I recommend that anyone visiting Hoi An confirm the total price, duration, and what is included before boarding any boat to avoid the same disappointment. Hopefully, this helps other tourists avoid being caught in the same situation.

Scammers and Liars. Stay away

Liars and scammers. The taxis and grabs drop you off at the worst possible company. Get away from that place as quickly as possible. They harass you for tips and try to charge several times more than the other companies. Utter vermin.

DO NOT COME !! SCAMMERS !!

Scammer !!!! They annonce that the boat tour is 40min long. They took a photo of us 30min before leaving and the tour were ONLY 10min long. When the tour finished, we asked for explanation, they showed us the pictures they took before the begining of the tour to justify. They are liars and scammers !!!! DO NOT COME !!!

Do not go to this company PHI RUNG DUA

There are multiple operators in the area and the drivers take you to the one with the biggest commission and then the operator tells you you’re at the wrong address and you have to travel another hour. It’s the biggest scam ever, they get you in the boat and you’re forced to tip everyone out on the water because they have you in the boat already, unethical and completely dishonest business. Spining charge you twice. NEVER go here PHI RUNG DUA BASKET BOAT

Do your research to avoid overpaying.

We were also dropped at Phi Rung Dua by our grab driver, promptly escorted in my staff and asked to pay 1,200,000 for 2 people. We really enjoyed the boat ride and like other reviews below agree that it isn’t about the money. However, Phi Rung Dua are over charging which leaves tourist disappointed and second guessing whether to trust future driver recommendations.

Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.

How much does Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat cost?

+

Prices start at $6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat take?

+

Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.

Is Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat?

+

Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Discover Coconut Forest Hoi An By Basket Boat start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Hoi An?

+

On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Hoi An street food tour with Billy, Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Hoi An?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Hoi An?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
