Cruising the Thu Bon River: A Journey Through Hoi An’s River Life and Craft Traditions


A scenic cruise along the Thu Bon River offers an immersive look into the daily rhythms, traditions, and craftsmanship of Hoi An’s countryside. The journey begins at the bustling Duy Hai Fish Market, where early-morning energy fills the air as fishermen bring in fresh catches. Visitors can observe a wide variety of seafood, engage with local vendors, and gain firsthand insight into the coastal livelihoods that sustain the region.


The route continues to Cua Khe craft village, a well-known center for traditional production of nuoc mam fish sauce and dried seafood. Here, guests witness the meticulous fermentation process that transforms simple ingredients into one of Vietnam’s most essential culinary staples. The strong aromas and time-honored techniques reflect generations of knowledge passed down within local families.


Further along the river, the journey includes a stop at the Distillery of Indochina, where locally produced rum is crafted using sugar cane and pure groundwater. Surrounded by rural landscapes, travelers can also explore quiet villages, walking through green rice fields and sweet potato farms while observing farmers at work in their daily routines.


The experience concludes with a visit to a local home, offering a warm cultural exchange and the chance to see a bird nest cave before enjoying authentic regional cuisine. Blending river travel, traditional crafts, agricultural life, and local hospitality, this tour provides a rich and memorable exploration of Hoi An’s countryside heritage.
