There, for about twenty minutes, guests participate in making rice papers and local snacks with a 65-year-old couple who demonstrate the traditional process. Next, the tour visits an incense-making family in Kim Bong village for about fifteen minutes, where guests roll their own incense sticks while learning about the craft. Afterward, the tour continues to Tra Nhieu Fishing Village to spend fifteen minutes with a family weaving mats from river reeds. Then, the group drives to Duy Vinh for a twenty-minute coffee break at a local coffee house, which includes refreshments, washroom access, and views of the surrounding area. The tour proceeds to Duy Hai, crossing high bridges to observe fish and shrimp farms, rice paddies, and fishing nets at the Thu Bon river mouth. At Cam Thanh fishing village, guests take a twenty-five-minute basket boat ride through the water coconut forest with a local fisherman, including an opportunity to try catching river crabs. The tour then stops at Tra Que Vegetable Village for about fifteen minutes to see traditional vegetable gardens and herbs. If selected, the tour concludes with a one-hour Vietnamese lunch or dinner at a riverside restaurant before returning to the hotel. Bottled water, an English-speaking local guide, local drivers, all entrance fees, and taxes are included. The tour covers rural villages and river islands around Hoi An, providing a concrete experience of local crafts, farming, and fishing life.
