Cam Thanh Village – Learn to Paddle the Unique Vietnamese Bamboo Basket Boat

At Cam Thanh Village, it’s not just about sitting and watching — it’s about doing. Try your hand at paddling the traditional Vietnamese bamboo basket boat, guided by friendly local fishermen. They’ll teach you how to balance, steer, and navigate the winding waterways of the water coconut forest.

Though it looks easy, paddling a round boat takes coordination, rhythm, and a good sense of humor — especially when you find yourself spinning in circles! It’s a lighthearted, hands-on way to experience the daily life of Hoi An’s river communities, making memories that go beyond sightseeing.
