Cam Thanh Family Tours
Description
A full-day program that actually earns its itinerary: market visit to buy your own ingredients, coconut boat ride in the Cam Thanh water coconut forest, cooking class where you make four dishes, and lantern-making to round it out. The guides – An and Anne get name-checked repeatedly – are the reason this works. Funny, patient, and good at keeping mixed groups of strangers on the same page.
The food volume is not a rumor. Multiple people have ended up in a food coma before they even finished cooking, which is either a warning or a selling point depending on who you are. The coconut boat section includes a Gangnam Style performance from the boatmen (you’ll understand when you get there) and optional crab fishing.

Cons
'- The itinerary is packed, so if you want a slow, contemplative cooking class this probably isn't it
