Review of Hoi An’s market, basket boat, crab fishing, and cooking class, with practical advice on food, transport, value, and what to expect.

Explore Hoi An’s market, Bay Mau coconut forest, basket boats, crab fishing, and a hands-on Vietnamese cooking class for $28.21.

“Had a wonderful time at this cooking class and coconut boat tour. I paid extra to have a driver pick me up in Da Nang. The first stop was the local market where we learned about all the vegetables and other foods that Vietnamese like to eat. We then went for the coconut boat tour which was peaceful and interesting to learn about crab fishing. It is not easy! Then we took our class and learned 4 dishes. I was stuffed and couldn’t finish all the food but I love that Duyen (the cook) gave us recipe cards so we could try to learn on our own. Wonderful day to…”

Watch Hoi An’s large-scale Memories Show, explore a historical theme park, enjoy mini performances, and choose from several seating options.

“If there is one thing to do in Hoi An let this be it! Absolutely incredible show, well worth the money. I have no words to describe how wonderful this is. Don’t bother with paying more money for High class or VIP seats, the Eco seats are long yellow benches, the high class are red plastic stadium seats and the VIP is under a canopy. You can see the whole stage from any seat in the arena, so it is totally pointless paying more for high class, if you want shelter then go for VIP. Make sure you take a raincoat just incase it rains, if you are in any…”
