    Brilliant - highly recommend if in Hoi An

    Really enjoyed this experience! Got to go around the market & select the fresh produce. Then after a boat ride along the river we were able to learn some recipes! We cooked outdoors under a canopy with a lovely view over the river - it was a nice experience to cook outdoors like this 😁 The members of staff were super friendly and transport to and from the experience was included. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An 🧡

    Response from the operator: Many thanks

    An amazing tour! Would highly recommend!

    This is a family run business by Tin and Trang. We were picked up on time from our hotel and taken to the market where we met with Trang. She showed us the local produce and bought some for us to cook with later. We were then taken to her home over looking the river where we met her Husband Tin. We were given traditional coffee and green tea and then Tin took us on a round boat ride through coconut palms. He made us two shell necklaces and took the time to take photos of us. He was very funny. When we got back we met up again with Trang and starting cooking. All the traditional dishes we cooked were amazing and very tasty. We were given water and beers during the meal. Trang was very patient with us and spoke very good English. We would definitely recommend this tour. This cost us 65,000 Dong each and was definitely worth it. Thank you once again Tin and Trang.

    Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...) take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...)?

    +

    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 Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...)?

    +

    Around 3 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...) 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, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking, Hoi An Cooking Class(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.

    What is included in Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...)?

    +

    Included: life-jacket; basket boat; Bottled water; Lunch; and Ticket. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Is Hoi An Basket Boat Tour & cooking class(local market, boating, fishing crab...) wheelchair or stroller accessible?
