What to Expect

Immerse Yourself in the Serenity of Hoi An’s Countryside

Escape the hustle and bustle of Hoi An’s Old Town as you hop onto a vintage Vespa, zipping across the charming Thu Bon River toward Cam Kim Island. As you ride, you'll be surrounded by lush rice paddies, picturesque farmland, and winding village roads that offer an authentic glimpse into Vietnam’s rural life.


Step Back in Time: Traditional Craftsmanship & Cottage Industries

We begin our adventure at a traditional ancestral house, where you’ll gain insight into Hoi An’s deep-rooted customs. From there, we visit a boat-building yard, where skilled artisans craft wooden boats using centuries-old techniques—a fading yet essential craft for local fishermen.

We continue our exploration at a mat-weaving workshop, where you’ll get hands-on experience learning the intricate techniques behind this time-honored Vietnamese handicraft. If you’re up for a treat, try making banh dap, a delicious rice cracker snack unique to the region.


A Scenic Ride Along the River & Coastal Roads

Back on our Vespas, we cruise through tree-lined roads and rural villages, absorbing the peaceful rhythms of daily life in Hoi An’s countryside. Our journey leads us to a local café, where we recharge with an authentic Vietnamese drip coffee while soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings.

As the adventure unfolds, we ride toward the mouth of the Thu Bon River, where the scenery shifts to breathtaking coastal landscapes. The final stretch of the tour takes us across a newly built bridge, offering panoramic views over Hoi An and the waterway—a picture-perfect moment to remember.


Savor Authentic Local Flavors

To complete this unforgettable journey, we conclude with a traditional lunch at a countryside restaurant, indulging in freshly prepared local dishes that showcase the flavors of Central Vietnam.

After this off-the-beaten-path experience, we’ll drop you off at your hotel, leaving you with incredible memories of rural Hoi An!
