What I was most excited about on this trip to Vietnam was the basket boat experience. These charming, bowl-shaped vessels, intricately woven from branches and leaves, proved to be far more stable than I had anticipated. Resembling half a coconut, they are affectionately known as coconut boats.

The coconut boat adventure is just a short, ten-minute drive away, located about five to six kilometers from the historic town of Hoi An. As you glide through the enchanting water coconut forest, the small boats navigate the serene waters. Once you reach the open water, you'll be treated to lively performances by local fishermen.

The Vietnamese bring their own speakers onto the boats, filling the air with music and dance. Small boats gather around, creating a festive atmosphere. If you're impressed by the performance, feel free to show your appreciation with a tip.

The entire experience lasts about half an hour, making it a perfect addition to any itinerary. I highly recommend booking in advance through the KLOOK mini-program on WeChat for 24 RMB per person. If you'd like to add a coconut to your experience, the cost is 35 RMB per person. After booking, simply take a taxi to Hanh Coconut, where you can verify your QR code and hop aboard your coconut boat.
