Phú Huy Coconut
Description
Coconut basket boat rides on the Thu Bon River canals, with palm-lined waterways that look like the postcards. The ride itself is fine – operators spin the round boat, take photos for you, and are friendly enough on the water.
The problem is getting here honestly. Grab drivers regularly redirect passengers from other operators to this place (it happens constantly, not just once), and the opening price is inflated well above what the actual market rate should be. The listed 250,000 VND per person is roughly three times what comparable operators charge.
If you end up here, negotiate hard before you get in the boat. Also know that karaoke and spinning tricks on the water cost extra beyond the base fare, so ask what is and is not included before you commit.
Highlights
- Staff are friendly and helpful with photos
- No need to book ahead, boats are available on arrival
- Cold coconut soup after the ride is worth trying
- Opening prices are heavily inflated (250,000 VND vs 80,000-100,000 VND elsewhere) - expect a negotiation fight
- Tipping pressure throughout the experience
