There, the guide provides an overview of the village and the daily life of the local fishing community. At Bay Mau Coconut Forest, participants take a 45-minute basket boat ride through the river channels surrounding Cam Thanh. During this time, locals perform coracle boat demonstrations. After the boat ride, a local fisherman instructs the group on making souvenirs from palm leaves, boat shaking techniques, and crab-catching.
