Experience Details*
Hop aboard a boat in Hoi An and cruise the Cua Dai River, with refreshments in hand, to meet the local fishermen. Then take a unique ride in a traditional bamboo-woven basket boat, down waterways lined with coconut palms, and have a go at net fishing. At a beautiful organic-vegetable village, join a local farmer planting and watering vegetables, and if you’re lucky, catch a water buffalo ploughing a rice paddy field. You’ll learn their secrets for farming high-quality vegetables, and enjoy a light lunch in your host’s home, as you soak your feet in relaxing steamed herbs.
