We began with a walking...
We began with a walking tour of the old historic town, and our guide, Tea, took us into several religious sites. We later drove to the Coconut Forest for our basket ride. Our guide was lots of fun, and sang, and helped us catch baby crabs. Then we were served a great Vietnamese lunch, and drank coconut milk out of the coconuts the proprietor cut open for us. Tea was sometimes hard to understand, but was super-nice and did her best. She helped us buy souvenirs, and always held my wife’s hand while walking in the busy streets.
Response from the operator: Dear Kenneth, Thanks for your excellent review. Enjoy your holiday! Best regards, TTP HENRY TRAVEL HOI AN TEAM Phone/hotline: +84.936.037.289

Great two-part tour with Tea!
Excellent dual visits to the ancient city of Hoi An (which is beautiful and very interesting) - with the tour including all the “must see” places - followed by a boat trip through the coconut forest with entertaining paddlers and concluding with a very tasty lunch. The tour guide, Tea, was informative, friendly, funny and genuinely good company. We would highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your excellent review. Enjoy your VN holiday and see you next time. Best regards, TTP HENRY TRAVEL HOI AN

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest 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 Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 67 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 Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest?
+
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 Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest 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 Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest?
+
Around 23 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 Private Hoi An City tour -Basket Boat Ride in the Coconut forest 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.
