Overview

The tour begins with a 30-minute visit to a local market in Hoi An, where participants observe how residents buy fresh ingredients and select items for the cooking class. Afterward, the group travels by car to Bay Mau Coconut Forest, passing rice paddies and following the Cua Dai River. At Bay Mau, participants spend about two hours in the nipa palm grove with local fishermen. They take a ride on traditional bamboo basket boats, also known as Thung Chai, used by fishermen in Central Vietnam. During the boat ride, guests try fishing with special nets to catch fish and purple crabs and create souvenirs from palm leaves. The guide provides stories about the Vietnamese-American war that occurred in the area. The final part of the tour takes place in Cam Thanh village, about five kilometers from Hoi An ancient town, where guests join a cooking class lasting approximately one hour and forty minutes at Mr. Cu's home. After the lesson, participants enjoy a traditional Hoi An lunch or dinner prepared during the class. The entire tour lasts about four and a half hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off, cold water, wet tissue, entrance fees, and an English-speaking guide.
