Perfect evening activity.
Perfect evening, very relaxing. Spring the tour guide was increadible. Fishing had plenty of bites and many fish caught, caught differant veriaties, small but increadibly fun. Drinks and toilet on board. Incredible food served on skewers to make it easy to multitask while fiahing. Watching the the sun set on the water was beautiful. Only 4 hours so not drawn out, perfect amount of time. Thank you Spring and you family for a beautiful evening

Dont hesitate - brilliant trip.
We had the best of times with Spring and her husband. The trip was absolutely perfect. We had a great boat trip, time for rod fishing, my sons caught 6 fish between them. We also had a crab fishing trip in one of the coconut boats and then a sunset BBQ. The food was fabulous with plenty of cold beers. This was a real highlight of our trip.

Lovely river sunset trip with amazing food and great hosts
Spring and Toan, our husband and wife hosts were so welcoming and the whole experience was magical! We did so many lovely things like pulling up huge nets, coconut basket boats, rod fishing, setting floating lanterns on to the river whilst our lovely provided us with great information and really tasty food they prepared for us on the bbq. The sunset was the perfect backdrop as we ate and fished. What a wonderful experience. I highly recommend!

A wonderful authentic and family-friendly experience in Hoi An.
We joined the fishing, basket boat, BBQ sunset sampan and coconut boat experience through Hoi An Mercy Homestay and it was one of our most memorable activities in Hoi An. The hosts and crew were warm, welcoming and genuinely lovely. Everything felt safe, clean and well organised, which made it easy for our family to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Our 9-year-old absolutely loved the fishing, basket boat ride and all the fun interactive activities. A highlight was watching the crew skilfully make hats, glasses, rings and other creations out of palm leaves in seconds — such a special touch that my son loved. The BBQ dinner on the boat was generous, fresh and delicious, and enjoying it during sunset was beautiful. What I especially appreciated was learning that Toan is passionate about more sustainable fishing practices and preserving fish stocks for future generations, rather than taking everything from the river. It was meaningful to support a local family who clearly cares about both their community and environment. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a more authentic and relaxing experience away from the crowded tourist activities.

Must do in Hoi An
Our family of four were welcomed with kindness and generosity. We tried our hand at crab fishing on a traditional coconut boat and braved the coconut boat spin. Afterwards we enjoyed a serene trip on the river whilst fishing and were served a procession of delicious BBQ dishes. A highly recommended tour that delivers a personalised experience, without the crowds. One of a kind and a must in Hoi An.

HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip?
+
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 HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip?
+
Around 2 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip 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.

+
Included: Have a BBQ with variety of food; Life jackets will be prepared on the boats; Entrance fee; and Rice wine, Vietnam local beers. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for HoiAn Hideout Fishing BBQ Sunset Sampan Coconut Boat Trip?
+
