Bình Coconut Basket Boat Tour

Report Abuse

Description

A basket boat tour through Bay Mau Coconut Forest, where your guide paddles you through narrow waterways lined with nipa palms and puts on a spinning boat show that kids especially go wild for. The net-throwing fisherman demo is the kind of thing that actually looks as good as it does in photos. Owner Binh runs a tight operation – if you get lost finding the place, there’s a decent chance someone will come find you on a motorbike.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Go around 4pm when it's cooler and less crowded, and tell them upfront you only want the basic boat tour - no photo package, no extras - so expectations are set before you get on the water.
