    Bay Mau Coconut Forest

    Begin your journey with a visit to the Bay Mau Coconut Forest, a tranquil waterway lined with lush nipa palms, often called the “green lungs” of Hoi An. Upon arrival at the Bay Mau Coconut Forest, you’ll board a traditional round bamboo basket boat and paddle gently through the peaceful coconut-lined waterways. As you glide into the lush green channels, local fishermen will introduce you to their daily life on the water—casting fishing nets... The highlight of the visit is the vibrant basket boat performance. Watch in amazement as skillful boatmen spin their boats in dizzying circles, splash water in playful rhythms, and showcase incredible balance with their famous “water dancing” skills. To make the atmosphere even more lively, some boatmen will sing or play music right on the river, turning your journey into a joyful floating festival.
