        Excellent Experience
        I had a great time! The staff were very friendly and the tour was a lot of fun. I went solo so I was feeling a little awkward, but they made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. It was a pretty peaceful tour but still had things to enjoy for more active people too. I recommend coming here. It's a good value for your money. Thank you very much!

        Really great, just divide the starting price at least by 3
        I see most reviews here are from organized travel groups who took this activity via a tour package. We came here with our Grab driver on our way to Hoi An. This place is little bit before the town and he recommended us to take it, but haggle of course. The starting price was 600.000 VND pp (around 25$), but after 2 min of negotiating we cut it to 200.000 (8$). Later, at hotel we spoke with other couple who managed it for 150.000, but we're speaking of only 2$ difference, so I give you this info just to have a clew how much to pay. The basket ride through coconuts is really interesting, lasting for around 30-40 min. You sail in a coconut basket with hundreds of others. Beware, boat can take only 2 visitors (plus a rower), so if you're in bigger party you must split. At some point you'll see the spinning show when a skill rower spins its basket - very good. At the end tip your rower (1-2$), he will take pics of you and tell stories.

        Great Experience from A to Z
        During our visit to Green Coconut Village this week, on 11/28/23, our experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the seamless pick-up to engaging discussions on history, the tour unfolded with a perfect blend of information and entertainment. The guide exhibited impressive knowledge, aiding us in navigation and ensuring we didn't miss any noteworthy sights. What stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile, assisting us with capturing memorable photo opportunities. The tour concluded with a smooth drop-off, leaving us with lasting impressions of a well-rounded and enjoyable excursion. Highly recommended for those seeking a comprehensive and delightful exploration of Hoi An's Green Coconut Village.

        Basket boat tour
        It's a family business and Vu who speaks english is very nice. It takes time to introduce to you the tour and chat about Vietnam. He helped me to book the bamboo circus show which was cancelled because of the flood. He came to my hotel in the flood to give me my money back. I recommand it if you are there for the basket boat.

        Best cooking class and boat tour in Hoi An
        We had the best time at the cooking class and boat trip. We are both vegans and they catered the menu for us and all the food was delicious and there was so much of it that we took it with us and had dinner and lunch the next day. We made Vietnamese pancakes, spring rolls, a vegetable and tofu claypot and a banana flower salad. They made us some steamed rice and morning glory and we enjoyed a passion fruit juice and coconut desert. Everything was amazing and our guide was so lovely. We went to the market to pick up our fresh food, spent an hour in a basket boat enjoying crabbing, karaoke displays and watching the guys spin around in the boats and then went back for the cooking class. We loved every minute of it and highly recommend it.

        Highly recommend with friends!
        The Green Coconut Village Cooking Tour has been a highlight of my trip in Vietnam. Vu and his family were very welcoming and made sure that we were all enjoying ourselves as well as teaching us about Vietnam’s food culture. Ni guided our tour who was full of energy and easy to follow throughout the day. She first took us to a local market to purchase the local produce that we were going to cook with and then had a ride on the Coconut Boats which was quite touristy but good fun. Ni taught us to cook four dishes which included fried rice paper rolls, chicken salad, Vietnamese pancake and fish. All delicious Vietnamese recipes! I’d highly recommend this tour.

        Vu's team provided an absolutely incredible experience, with such friendly and welcoming people to show us the way. You're shown the way the locals get to live at the market and then get to go experience the brilliant coconut forest and have lots of fun. Ni was an excellent tour guide and instructor, and the food was incredible and easy to make. Would recommend to anyone.

        An afternoon like a local in Hoi An
        We felt like home with them, very nice and genuine people. We first did a tour of hoi an market to choose the food to cook, then we had an entertaining coconut ride (you'll find floating karaokes and dancing people along the way!). Finally we did the cooking class: the chef is very good in explaining everything and help in case of need (I usually don't cook at home and was able to make a very good meal). We the ate what we cooked and chatted a bit. After that they brought us back to the hotel. Definitely recommended!

        Thank you to Vu and his family for making our first coconut boat tour experience so extremely seamless and comfortable. We were picked up from our previous destination to the coconut tour where we had some fresh coconuts and were welcomed by everyones friendly hospitality. We had so so much fun and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour to all our family and friends! Truly went above and beyond to make our day so fun and enjoyable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      Great experience from start to finish. I booked last minute and contacted Vu, the owner, to make sure hotel pick up/ drop off can still be arranged, and he responded right away.

      The tour was AMAZING. Lots of basket boats on the river. I was told there was only about 30 boats in the area but now there are closer to 2000!
      We learned about the locals' lives, how this used to be a fishing town and most were fishermen that were away 3-7 days weekly for fishing trips. But now with the opportunities from blooming Hoi An tourism, lots of people are able to stay home and support their families by operating the basket boats for tourists, thus allowing them to stay near their families. I love that!
      I won't give more details as that would spoil the surprises on the river.

      Vu runs a great small family business, there are lots of big companies offering this tour but I want to make sure I support the locals who have been living here for generations and not big companies who came into the area and have hundreds of boats for big groups. His tour was private, informative and very friendly. He constantly checked to make sure our comfort were met. We met his adorable daughter and son. My daughter played with his and it melted my heart. I was born in Vietnam and haven't been to Hoi An on 25 years. Lots have changed and I love nothing more than to support locals when traveling.

      Please book this trip so Vu and his people can show you the best basket tour in the area!!

      We booked the tour with meal option, and I'm so glad we did, my two nephews who were 9 and 11 proclaimed the food was life-changing and ate the most out of all the places we have been in the previous 8 days on the trip!!

      This was a fantastic activity to do with our two kids (aged 5 and 7). Our host Vu was so lovely and welcoming, and the trip on the boats was such good fun. The gentlemen paddling our boats had big smiles the whole time and were really friendly, and the kids had a go at the boat spinning and both caught some crabs. It was great that we were provided with life jackets, traditional Vietnamese sun hats and umbrellas to keep off the sun too. I’d recommend going first thing in the morning like we did, as it was a bit cooler and not too busy. Thanks Vu for a great experience!

      We went there on march 15th, and we liked the fact that we could quickly reserve the service, without going to a full day tour (avoiding big large groups).
      The owner was really nice with us and the « driver, captain 😂 » too.
      It’s a touristic attraction so, unfortunately, you can’t hope to be alone on the river.

      Vu is amazingly hospitable and accommodating, explaining the history and culture of the village in detail. Few other tours offer the same amount of activities, making the cost well worth it. The boat ride was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Hoi An, with charismatic boat tour guides that made the journey down the river funny and engaging. You are able to do many activities such as boat spinning and crab fishing, and the guides encourage you to take many photos! Finally, Vu gave us many great recommendations which contributed significantly to our busy day in Hoi An. Thank you Vu for the amazing experience!

      We had a wonderful time on our basket boat ride with Vu's company, Green Coconut Village. From start to finish, it was a very informative, enjoyable experience. We were met by Vu, the owner of the company. He shared a lot of details about the local villages with us before our boat ride. We also got a welcome drink. He was so kind and had excellent English. The basket roat ride was a thrilling experience. A big shout out to our boat rider Viet who made the ride so fun for us. We spent an hour on the boat. Viet took lots of great photos, demonstrated crab fishing and had such a high level of energy the whole boat ride. We also saw local fishing and a dancing demonstration in the basket boats. There was music to enjoy along the way too. We were greeted by Vu back at the shore, who we sat with and enjoyed a drink together. He shared lots more information about the local villages and history of the towns people with us. I would highly recommend Green Coconut Village - It was such a smooth and enjoyable process from start to finish. Speaking with Vu was an eye opening experience. He was so welcoming and paid a huge amount of attention to detail. 5 stars for this amazing experience 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

      We were greeted by the owner whos English was excellent and his enthusiasm about his business was infectious. The guide followed suit and kept the laughter rolling as well meandered down the river. For a small tip you can have the boat be span round walzer-esque and its well worth it. Couldn’t recommend more

      Before making our way, we found Vu through google/tripadvisor and contacted him through Whatsapp. His price was extremely fair compared to the hotel and other tour companies. We decided to take a Grab (not realising he offered pickup) and driver took us to another tour operator without our knowledge (some taxi and hotel companies team up to gain commission for each other), luckily we called Vu and he came to pick us up straight away before we got ushered into another group who charged double or more. He was very friendly and speaks good english, an honest man who tells you what is included in your trip right from the start. If you watch the boats spinning then its part of the price, if you’d like to have your boat spinned or to join in with net throwing then this would be at an extra cost or tip. Our boat guides were friendly and fun who made us feel comfortable. He has even recommended us places to eat in Hoi An when we have needed someone to ask! Just a whatsapp away….Vu is a genuine person who cares about making his customers happy and the reviews says it all! Thank you Vu for looking after us.

      Must go activity in Hoi An. I am traveling with a toddler and it was raining quite heavily but that did not steer people from not doing the tour. I booked a coconut boat trip from my hotel and this included transport from the hotel.
      It was fun and we enjoyed it a lot. Many people were spinning the boat dancing around a fast paced song. The drivers are well experienced and navigated expertly through the dense coconut plantations in the waters. There is also crab fishing to be done where you are giving a small fishing stick with some bait to catch crabs ( you release them back in the water post catching).

      Overall a great experience for a rainy day.

      Friendly guides with great English. Great fun, our ‘rower’ was awesome and we both had an amazing time. The company couldn’t be more helpful, let us change start time without any charge, offered advice on other places to see and do in Hoi An. I’m sure many of the basket boat companies offer similar experience but this company is independent and well worth the slightly extra cost. Would recommend and will visit next time we are back in Hoi An.
