Coconut village
Description
This is a coconut basket boat tour on the Thu Bon River, not a restaurant – the category is wrong, but the experience is worth finding anyway. You get the spinning basket boats, crab fishing, and guides who make animals sounds and weave flowers from coconut leaves (yes, really, and it’s genuinely entertaining).
The guides are the whole point here. Hai, Ngoc, Mai, and Dong come up by name repeatedly across reviews, which tells you the staff quality is consistent rather than a one-person show. Dong doubles as a decent photographer if you hand him your phone.
One thing reviewers flag: the music is optional and at least one person thinks you’re better off without it. Worth mentioning to your guide upfront.
