About this experience
Escape the busy streets of Hoi An and spend a day with nature when you purchase this Cam Thanh Coconut Forest ! Cam Thanh Village is considered as the green lung of Hoi An thanks to its large collection of coconut trees. The charming location is often compared to the famous Mekong delta, but here you’ll ride adorable basket boats instead of the usual three-plank wooden vessels. One basket boat can fit two adults and one child, making it a great family bonding activity! After rowing through small channels and appreciating the verdant coconut trees, you’ll also watch a one-of-a-kind boat show care of the locals residing in the area! Go home with a unique memento of your visit when you join a souvenir-making workshop using coconut leaves.

A great antidote to temple overload!
This trip was a fabulous mix of serene and absolutely bonkers! It was a great way to spend an hour and the perfect antidote to “temple overload”

Mad fun
This was great fun really enjoyed the boat ride through the mangrove Palms and then out into the surreal demented experience of the open water area with the karaoke spinning boats on everything else
via Tripadvisor
Interesting experience, but also a bit surreal
Interesting navigation in the narrowest channels a bit surreal navigation when you arrive on the river. Music shot at maximum volume on multiple platforms a few meters apart and stunts with this coconut basket. Tour however well organized.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest cost?
+
Prices start at $8 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 Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 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 Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 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 Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest?
+
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 Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest?
+
Around 4 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 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Basket Boat Ride in Water Coconut Forest 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 HOI AN Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR, Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking. 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.
