Excellent guide and trip
Hoang took us on an excellent tour of farming and fishing. We went to the vegetable farm and were shown how different vegetables grow. Also a very different way of watering! Then the fishing village trip which was very interesting, learning the different ways they fish in Hoi An. We went to Hoang's house and learned how to make Vietnamese pancakes. The lunch was delicious and Hoang was a great guide. Would recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir and Madam, Thank you very much for your kind review and recommendation! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about the traditional farming and fishing practices in Hoi An. It was a pleasure to show you the vegetable gardens, the unique watering methods used by local farmers, and the different fishing techniques that have been passed down through generations. We are also happy that you enjoyed making Vietnamese pancakes at our family home and that the lunch was to your taste. Sharing our local culture, food, and daily life with our guests is always a special experience for us. Thank you again for joining our tour. We wish you a wonderful journey in Vietnam and hope to welcome you back to Hoi An someday! Warm regards, Hoang & Family

Interesting day out
A really enjoyable tour to see and learn about farming & fishing in Hoi An. Hoang was lovely, explaining Vietnamese life to us. He also accommodated my husbands sore knee by taking him on the back of his motorbike. Loved the chance to try making the pancake and the lunch provided was delicious. A great day! Thankyou to Hoang and his wife!

A great (and personal) local tour
Mr Hoang was a kind, thoughtful, and flexible guide who provided us with a collection of experiences from the playful to the educational. We opted to use our homestay’s provided bikes, and he guided us from there to a number of sites around his village and the surrounding rice paddies. Riding in a basket boat and sitting on a water buffalo were fun, but I particularly enjoyed our host’s clear and charming explanation and demonstration of rice farming and production, especially hulling and polishing rice using the same hand tools his parents used. The meal that concluded our brief cooking class was delicious (and felt well earned after our cycling and water buffalo-sitting). After lunch, our host led us safely back home.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr Michael, Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining our Hoi An Farming and Fishing Tour! It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we're so happy to hear you enjoyed experiencing the local countryside life, from working in the vegetable fields to learning traditional fishing techniques. We love sharing our culture and daily way of life with guests from around the world, and your feedback truly means a lot to us.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hoi An Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Hoi An Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $54 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 Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour take?
+
Plan for about 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 Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 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 Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour?
+
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 Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hoi An Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour?
+
Around 7 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hoi An Farming and Fishing life Experience Tour 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.
