Omo valley Trip
Last month we are came back from Ethiopia and if course I’d like to share my experiences with you! We – a group of four persons – have been traveling the Omo Valley for 9 days to visit the different tribes and cultures. In advance we searched online for a guide and found Addis Omo . Addisomo55@gmail.com) – this was the best decision and recommendation as we discovered during our trip On the day after our arrival at Addis Ababa we have been picked up as promised directly from our hotel in two off-road cars. For the following days we drove through almost the complete Omo Valley – to close to the borders to Kenia and South Sudan. We got the opportunity to visit the different tribes and their villages and highlight followed the next one: Dorze: An unforgettable evening with home-made schnapps in a mountain village Hamer: The traditional bull jumping shouldn’t be missed – and our guide Addis did everything and contacted everybody he knew to find out, where we could attend such a ceremony! We saw many tribes by the Omo river like Hamer, Karo, Mursi, Dasanech, our guide took us to unique bull jumping ceremony and Chamo river with huge hippos and crocodiles. Highlight for me was an overnight camping in the Hamer village with the locals. We had a great time and experienced things we will never forget. Doesn’t matter if you are family with children or young people that also want to have some fun, Addis can manage program that will perfectly suits your needs. I really recommend his perfect service that will make your stay in Ethiopia unforgettable. I can say we found not only an awesome guide, but also a great friend as well.

Excellent, informative trip
This was an excellent tour of these ruins. Our tour leader Lint spoke excellent English, was really knowledgeable and had a lovely sense of humour. The ruins are really worth a visit if you enjoy ancient history. It was also great to be out of the city and in the countryside. And although we didn't book the trip for the dancing and boat trip we thoroughly enjoyed these too and our dietary needs were well catered for.

My Son Temple Trip
We really enjoyed our trip to My Son. We were picked up at our hotel on time and had an enjoyable journey to the site. Bonus was watching the farmers drying their rice on the streets and tending to their fields, very interesting. Our guide Thao was friendly and very informative. He should us around the temples, explaining their history and pointing out interesting details and showing up good photo opportunities. The site is beautiful and included a 15 minute show about the people that lived there. After the site visit we took a book trip down the Thu Bồn River. On the boat we had a lovely bbq, cooked by our guide and some very nice rice wine. After the boat trip the bus dropped us off at the old town in Hoi An (although we did have the option for a hotel drop off). We had a very enjoyable day out and would recommend :)

Excellent value and knowledgeable guide
Chao guide was passionate about My Son Sanctuary. He ensured that we understood the history and relevance of the site. Even more surprising was that there was only the two of us on the tour! The boat trip back to Hoi A was great …. Food plentiful and delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !:)

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ boat trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ boat trip cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ boat trip take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ boat trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 45 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 My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ 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 My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ boat trip suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ boat trip?
+
Around 16 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does My Son Sanctuary Sunset with insider guide and BBQ 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 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.
