Great time! Very touristy and a little scammy (had to pay another 200k to get spun in the boat) but i mean what do you expect

The tour was great! The coconuts were ice cold and delicious! Our guide was funny and entertaining. We went early at 8 am and missed all the crowds. Beautiful weather and views. The only thing I would say that could be better was finding the location. You have to walk in to find out where your tour is held and the gps doesn’t take you to the right spot. You have to ask people around you to guide you to it. Otherwise the tour was lovely. I highly recommend it

Very well organised, we were greeted with cold water on arrival, the guide explained everything and everything was provided on the boat, hats, umbrellas etc. The boatman was very friendly and stopped along the way to take photos for us. The guide arranged a car back to Da Nang for us at a very reasonable price. I would recommend this company

Booked half an hour before the start time. The host was great when we arrived, explained what the tour would include. Our guide on the boat was lovely. We had some beautiful views and tried spinning baskets which is a must do! Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend for your trip to Hoi An and I would recommend using this company to book!

I really enjoyed it, I was given a very friendly welcome, the tour was explained to me and I was given a bottle of water. My boat driver was very nice and took lots of photos of me and showed and explained everything to me. We also did boat swinging and fed crabs. I really enjoyed it
