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.
Very happy experience! Thuong and Van rowed the coconut boat on the peaceful river. It is the mid-autumn festival we saw the full moon! Thuong and Van even made grasshoppers and origami flowers using coconut leaves for us! At last, they span us like crazy on the coconut boat😂. Five star review!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fun but a Little Misleading My partner and I booked a coconut boat ride at Coconut Village for 150,000 VND for two people, which seemed like a great deal for a promised 45-minute ride. The experience itself was a lot of fun, and the atmosphere was vibrant. We were a bit disappointed, however, that the actual "ride" part of the tour only lasted about 20-25 minutes. While we did get to see some of the beautiful village scenery, a good portion of the remaining time was spent on entertainment, like karaoke and other activities. While this was enjoyable and the performers were engaging, it wasn't what we had in mind when we booked a boat ride specifically to explore the village. Overall, it's a great experience if you're looking for some entertainment on the water. Just be aware that the advertised 45 minutes isn't all spent exploring the village by boat.
