Basket boat tours through the Water Coconut Forest of Cam Thanh village, about 10 minutes from Hoi An Ancient Town. Local boatpeople pilot round wicker basket boats through channels between dense water coconut palms — a mangrove-style waterway that runs quiet even when the town is busy. Tours run 50–60 minutes and include the boat operator performing a spin manoeuvre that tips a lot of first-timers sideways. Price varies by operator; expect 150,000–200,000 VND per person for a standalone ride or around $6–8 USD when booked through a tour package.
