Hoi An Buffaloes Riding & Farming- Bicycles Tour

Report Abuse

Description

A family-run operation out in the rice paddies, a short moped ride from Old Town. Vinh, Sandy, and the Houng family handle everything – pickup, transport, and keeping you comfortable with tea at the house before you head out. The water buffalo (ask about Seh) is genuinely calm, which matters when you’re putting kids on a large bull.

The tour typically bundles buffalo riding with a basket boat session and sometimes a local lunch, so it’s a decent half-day without you having to stitch anything together yourself. Contact them via WhatsApp to arrange – they’re responsive and flexible on timing.

One honest note: the buffalo ride itself runs around 10-20 minutes depending on what you book, so go in with calibrated expectations. It’s a quick, charming experience rather than an extended countryside excursion.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Book the longer 20-minute ride rather than the base option, and message them on WhatsApp the day before - they'll sort pickup from near Old Town and it's far easier than finding the rice paddies yourself.
Pros
'- The family (Vinh, Sandy, Mr and Mrs Houng) are consistently warm hosts who make you feel at home
- The water buffalo is calm and gentle, making it comfortable for kids and nervous first-timers
- Logistics are handled end-to-end - pickup, moped transfer, photos, the lot
- Fair pricing for a bundled half-day that includes basket boat, buffalo ride, and often a local meal
Cons
'- The buffalo ride portion is short (roughly 10-20 minutes), which feels expensive to some visitors if that's all they're coming for
- The full experience depends on bundling activities - if you only want the buffalo ride, the value calculation gets tighter
