Hoi An River Journey Reveals Fishing Traditions, Craft Villages, and Local Flavors


A scenic river cruise along the Thu Bon River offers a fascinating introduction to the coastal culture and rural traditions surrounding Hoi An. Traveling toward the Cua Dai estuary, visitors experience the changing landscapes of river life, where fishing communities and agricultural villages shape the rhythm of daily activity.


The first stop at Duy Hai Fish Market immerses travelers in the energetic world of local trade. Bustling stalls filled with freshly caught seafood reflect the importance of fishing to the region’s economy and heritage. Visitors can observe fishermen at work, interact with vendors, and gain a deeper understanding of the traditions that sustain coastal livelihoods.


The journey continues to Cua Khe village, known for its long-standing fish sauce production. Here, guests witness the traditional fermentation process using fish, salt, and time-honored methods passed down through generations. This essential ingredient of Vietnamese cuisine highlights the cultural depth behind everyday flavors.


The experience concludes at a local rum distillery, where agricultural produce is transformed into premium spirits through traditional craftsmanship. A guided tasting session and refreshing cocktail offer a flavorful finale, blending heritage, innovation, and sensory enjoyment. Together, this tour delivers an immersive look into Hoi An’s riverside culture, where tradition and daily life flow seamlessly along the water.

We had the most wonderful experience with our boat driver Dong! Not only was the ride beautiful and peaceful, but he went above and beyond by making us the cutest coconut souvenirs by hand. It was such a thoughtful surprise and truly made our day. He was kind, skillful, and so much fun to be around. If you’re visiting Vietnam, we highly recommend taking a tour with Dong, you’ll get the best handmade keepsakes to take home!

We had a lovely boat trip with Linh! She had a great energy and was kind. She made us some jewellery out of leaves, showed us were the crab were hidding. We came at 10:30am and had a boat tour on our own. It was already hot so I recommend as early as you can. The place is not crowded and perfect to enjoy the boat and a drink. They offer some other activities as well such as coffee making.

Great time! They made flower rings and headbands for us out of palm leaves and were very nice and made sure we had shade and fans in the boat. We had Linh and she was great! Very affordable and easy to walk up and pay for right there.
