Discover a different side of Hoi An on this half-day cycling journey through the peaceful countryside of the Thu Bon River delta. Leave the city behind as you cross river islands by local transport and floating bridges, then pedal along quiet lanes past rice fields, vegetable gardens, water buffalo, and fish farms that shape daily life in the region.
Along the way, visit local artisans and see traditional wooden river boats being built, then learn about the craft of weaving colorful straw sleeping mats. Friendly encounters in the villages add to the charm before the experience ends at a local family home, where Vietnamese tea and traditional cakes offer a relaxing moment to connect with your hosts. Blending scenic landscapes with local culture, this ride is a peaceful and authentic escape into rural Central Vietnam.
