Fun in the sun! - My guide was kind and friendly and not pushy at all! It was exactly what I expected it to be and at a fraction of the cost for similar tours! Book it now if this was on your to-do list!

Exactly what we expected - as described - This trip is as described, easy to find and a fun experience overall. The whole area is a giant tourist trap so be prepared, and the amount of basket boats and different speakers blaring music on the river is crazy. We fished for some small crabs which was fun, saw the spinning basket boats and had a laugh with our guide, would 100% recommend while in hoi an for a bit of fun. This trip was 70% cheaper than any other I found online and no different to any other!

Best activity in Hoi An - I would definitely recommend this activity. Specially the coconut spinning. And the refreshments they give at their restaurant are just too yummy.

Basket full’a dreams - We had the BEST time on our basket boat ride today. We made our own way to coconut village where Long Phu eco tour & restaurant is based! We arrived early and had a cold drink whilst enjoying the views at our riverside table! They let us go on our trip early, and we had a lovely skipper who offered to spin us (so much fun)! There are a few stops along the way to hop out and climb onto the palms, a Dj basket boat (floating festival), a local demonstrating their fishing techniques and of course the local spin offs! Our skipper was great and politely let us move away from any stops that we didn’t enjoy as much! Recommend bringing some small change for tips for the stops but not mandatory. Overall, such a fun time (45mins) and only £3ish per person. Wowow! Coconut village is quite busy, we found that Long Phu was slightly quieter and more chill which we loved!! Would 100% recommend, don’t get put off by all the coaches and crowds at the entrance!!

Basket boat ride experience - The meeting point was difficult to find even grab did not recognise the address. The organizer has to give instructions to help us reached our destination. Boat ride was interesting and enjoyable. A young teenage was rowing the boat for us and he helped us took a number of photos.

Basket Cases - Good fun. But be prepared. Skills demo was good and tip worthy but not the fishing demo, food boat, souvenir boat, photo boat, and certainly not the Karaoke platform!
