Exceptional Fishing Experience - "Our fishing charter with Nanje Fishing Trips Dubai was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we set sail, the crew's professionalism and expertise were evident. They took us to prime fishing spots where we reeled in an impressive catch, including some trophy-sized fish. The captain's knowledge of the area ensured that we had a successful day on the water. Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking for a memorable fishing adventure in Dubai!"

Hoi An Basket Boat Experience - We were picked up at our hotel at the scheduled time and driven to Tram’s home while the basket boat was being prepped. A few minutes later the fisherman took us into the boat where we enjoyed an hour long ride through the coconut grove and he taught us how to catch fish & crabs and offered to take our photos at different scenic backgrounds. After the boat ride, we were treated to fresh coconut water to cool off at Tram’s home where we had a chance to speak to her about her daily life and about her cooking classes. When we were done, Tram’s husband contacted the driver and escorted us to the pick up location to return us to our hotel.. Everyone was so friendly and kind. I recommend booking this tour.

Interesting, exotic and entertaining - It was interesting to travel through the water in the basket boat. The coconut palms on the right and left gave an exotic feel. The driver made an effort to give us an insight into local life. The subsequent visit and exchange with the hostess was pleasant and interesting.

A goofy, happy time—with a lunch to die for!! - So much fun!! A bit silly without a kid to use as an excuse, but what a hoot!! Nonstop laughing hard to avoid as you go floating and twirling in a basket, captained by a fellow senior whose infectious spirit could brighten ANYONE’s day!! There was a carnival atmosphere on the river, watching performers twirl oats and spin (un)-lucky passengers. The meal that we returned to was SUBLIME!! Cannot recommend this tour—and the family running it—highly enough!!

Random experience but good fun - It was a random but fun experience that’s unique to Hoi An. We were collected from our hotel and escorted to a private house with its own little dock. It was interesting walking through the little village. The lady was in the process of leading a cooking class when we arrived. Her husband then handed us over to two guys who conducted the rest of the tour in the boats. It was interesting and quirky! When arriving back to the private dock we had coconut water and then were collected again.
