Vi’s company was great! - Me and my friend went and booked in advance. When we arrived we met ‘Vu’ who explained what the activities would be like and was very welcoming. We spent around an hour on the boat taking pictures and seeing spinning boats, catching crabs, and watching fishing nets and seeing a lovely view. We got given water, lovely hats to wear and life jackets. This was a really fun experience and definitely worth it. It’s a lot less chaotic here as well compared to the other companies so I would recommend Vu and his company! Thank you !

Highly recommended basket boat ride!! - Super cool basket boat ride!!! My partner and I were picked up at our hotel by a car with the much needed air con. 10 minutes drive to Coconut Village where Vu welcomed us with a lovely passion fruit juice. He explained all the details of the activity very well and we were off to the basket boat! Our boat rider was a really kind and fun lady by the name of Vu (apologies if I spell it wrong), she made the experience one to be remembered!! She made us laugh constantly, let us row the basket boat couple times and also took some pics of us!! Then we arrived to a little boat-office where you can get couple pictures with a professional camera printed for a fee, then we saw a local vietnamese basket boat rider spin his boat to the music at an incredible speed!! We also witnessed a local fisherman showing his skills with the fishing net and learnt how to catch crabs by the river shore (you let them loose after catching them to protect the local fauna, although we were not lucky catching them). Then we headed back to the starting point after around a little more than 1 hour of activity, Pu made the boat ride real fun with jokes and laughs, even singing few songs. She even spinned the boat for us!! As the drop off back to wherever you are staying is included, Vu gives you the choice of being dropped off anywhere you want in Hoi An, so if your plan was to go to the beach or to a reastaurant for some grilled seafood you can do! Nice touch!! Highly recommended! Thank you Vu and thank you Pu for the great experience!

Great fun & well organised basket boat activity. - Great fun and really well organised. Pick up/ drop off at hotel and excellent comms. Cold drink on arrival appreciated. Our boat guides were fantastic and had a great sense of humour. Teens had a go on the fast spinning boat and loved it. We went about 1pm and were told it gets busier later on.

A must do, book through Vu. - Vu is an amazing host. This was a last minute booking for us, and yet everything was planned so well. We went as a family of 6. We started with a welcome drink at Vu’s restaurant, followed by the basket boat ride which was absolutely fantastic. The ambience and friendliness of the people was so enjoyable. Highly recommend doing the “boat spinning” ! We didn’t know what to expect with this tour beyond the brochure but so glad we did it. This is a highlight of our trip.

Last minute short and sweet - Was a great last minute trip I booked 3 hours beforehand on the same day. Chose this, as I didn’t want a lunch option the others had .It was short & sweet. Pick up & drop off were prompt. Vu was lovely & informative of what to expect. My boat man was also lovely. Friendly with a sense of humour, up for a chat & he took all the photos. Important when you are travelling solo.

Coconut basket boat - Good fun for good money. A little bit crowded, so the boats crash to each other sometimes. Spining was really fun. All team of Green Coconut Village was friendly, including the boat driver.
