    Highly recommend 1 day trip to Bana Hills

    Had an amazing 1-day trip to Ba Na Hills from Da Nang, and a big part of what made it so memorable was our tour guide, Bao. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organized, and genuinely enjoyable. Bao was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke great English, which made it easy to learn about the history and fun facts of Ba Na Hills along the way. He kept the group engaged without ever making it feel rushed, and he was always patient when answering questions or helping with photos (which is a big plus, especially at places like the Golden Bridge!). The itinerary was perfectly planned—we got to see all the highlights, enjoy the cable car rides, explore the French Village, and still had time to relax and take in the views. Bao also shared helpful tips on where to go, what to try, and how to avoid crowds, which made a huge difference. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this tour—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Bao as your guide. He truly made the trip more enjoyable and stress-free!

    Response from the operator: We are very grateful for your review. We wish you a wonderful trip in Vietnam and hope to see you again.

    My Son Early Morning and Basket Boat Tour - Highly Recommended!

    We recently took the My Son Early Morning with Misa and Basket Boat Tour. Misa was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, and we had a great time learning about the Cham civilization, with delicious local food afterwards. The boat ride was great fun even it was a bit more touristic than expected. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much. We are glad you enjoyed it. We wish you all the best and hope to see you again.

    Awesome tour with Queen

    Queen was an awesome guide from start to finish! Picked me up and showed me to the main small bus. The group was a good size 10 people. Queen explained in great detail about the history of My Son while also making the trip fun! I am a vegetarian and my dietary requirements were well taken care of! I really enjoyed the tour and thank you for the great chats Queen and for showing us your country. Cheers Carmel

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour. Have a nice day and hope to see you in the next holiday!

    Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 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 Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner take?

    +

    Plan for about 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 Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 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 Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner?

    +

    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 Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner?

    +

    Around 5 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner 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 Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Hoi An Eco Tour Cooking Class & Fishing (Local market,basket boat,learn 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.

    What is included in Explore Hoi An Ancient Town and Coconut Village with Dinner?
