Làng Dừa Xanh Coconut Basket Boat Tour

Report Abuse

Description

The basket boat tour through Cam Thanh’s coconut palm water forest is fun, and Làng Dừa Xanh seems to have the guides who make it. Names like Bong, Hung, and Minh come up repeatedly in reviews – these aren’t bored employees, they’re entertainers who spin you dizzy, help you fish for crab, and somehow manage to take decent photos while doing it all.

The tour includes spinning, crab and fish fishing, and free water (with fans and umbrellas on the boat, which matters more than you’d think at 2pm in July). The price point sits around 900k VND for two people per basket, which some find steep – but you’re paying for the full show, not just a float through the reeds.

Watch out for moped touts on the road in who will intercept you before you arrive and funnel you to unofficial operators charging above-market rates. Book directly with Làng Dừa Xanh before you go, and ignore anyone who approaches you en route.
