Meal: lunch | Accommodation: not included

9:00 AM – pick up from your hotel to An Hoi pier, where you’ll find a a traditional long-tail racing boat are waiting. Our escape to the tranquil and scenic Hoi An’s backyard can start. We hit the waters of the Thu Bon River and travel to its estuary. We reach the freshwater coconut mangrove of Cam Thanh after about 30 minutes, turn off the boat engine and use rowing paddles. This place needs silence to be fully appreciated.

Our next stop will be a bamboo workshop where you’ll meet a talented craftsman, learn about his family daily life and amazing bamboo product, and it’s time for your own product under his guidance.

Lunch will be served at a local house in a quiet Cam Thanh village. In the afternoon, we’ll get on about an hour cycling to a village which is famous across the country for its herbs and plants cultures. We are welcomed by a farmer who will take us around and introduce the different plants. At about 4 pm, we get back on the waters and head to the town again. We end the day in style, entering the old quarter through its waterway while the sun sets. We see you off at An Hoi pier around  5 pm
