Cooking Class / Coconut Boats - A great day out with amazing food & tour guides. The class was so well taught and the boats were such a fun way to end the day with the loveliest people taking you round. You get so much for what you pay for - highly recommend!

My compliments to the chef! - Honestly, my best outing of my 5 days in Hoi An. Short journey, very informative, zero downtime, our chef was on point, the recipes are super good and even the “Cocoboat” ride is interspersed with a mini-activity. I recommend, go for it, it's worth it.

Absolutely excellent, vegetarian or vegan no problem - We booked this expecting a vegetarian (vegan) class, but it was mixed, so that may be important to note. I do not enjoy cooking, and my partner wanted to do it, so I agreed as it wouldn’t let him book for 1 I’m glad I did, it was very good And yes funny Actually there wasn’t that much cooking which suited me fine! And the food was delicious!!! Vietnamese pancakes! And the spring rolls! So much food!

Great experience ! - The experience was great ! We went to a local market (instead of the tourist market) and our chef informed us about the traditional ingredients in Vietnam. Then we went on the Coconut River for a tour on a basket boat (my skipper was hilarious). We finally went to the kitchen for the cooking class. The chef was very nice, the food was delicious and we ate way too much !! Would recommend :)

Great day! - Had a nice and relaxing day. Was great to have a taste of the market early in the morning taking a look at all the local products and later heading to the coconut boat ride to reach the destination for our cooking class. Wish the boat ride would have been a little longer but the main highlight of the tour was the cooking class so we did need time for that. The cooking experience was great we had a chance to learn how to make so many dishes and all with vegetarian and non vegetarian options! Recommend for all the foodies and cooking enthusiasts out there!
