Overview

Bay Mau coconut forest tourist area, also known as Cam Thanh coconut forest, is a completely new destination in Hoi An, only about 3km from the old town. Why do we say it's a new experience, because in many people's minds, when talking about society, they will be impressed by lanterns, ancient houses or Hoai River lanterns. But that's only beautiful when the sun is out, the street lights are on, and this is also the most ideal time to enjoy Hoi An.

Frequently Asked Questions

The basket boats provide a different perspective from the ancient town, allowing visitors to explore the Bay Mau coconut forest. It is an ideal activity for those looking to experience the natural waterways outside the old town.

Yes, the Cam Thanh Coconut Basket Boat operates rides through the Bay Mau coconut forest tourist area. This activity allows visitors to navigate the local waterways just outside the old town.

The Cam Thanh coconut forest is located about 3km from the Hoi An old town. Guests can easily reach the boat departure area by taking a short taxi or bicycle ride from the center.

A standard tour includes the bamboo basket boat ride through the water coconut forest, life jackets, and a demonstration of traditional net casting and crab fishing by the rower.

The actual time spent on the water in the basket boat is usually between 30 to 45 minutes, though the entire visit to the tourist area can take up to two hours if you include walking and dining.

Expect the boat to spin rapidly in circles if you request the traditional spinning performance, which can cause motion sickness for those prone to dizziness.

You will meet your rower directly at the designated wooden boarding docks along the riverbank within the Cam Thanh eco-tourism village.

The gentle rowing portion is suitable for all ages, but the vigorous spinning performance is not recommended for young children, pregnant women, or elderly individuals with back or neck issues.

The boarding docks consist of uneven natural terrain and require stepping down directly into a low, unstable bamboo vessel, making the experience inaccessible for wheelchair users.

Early morning between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM or late afternoon after 3:30 PM are the best times to avoid the intense midday heat and harsh sun exposure on the open water.

You should bring sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and waterproof sunscreen, as the boat offers no overhead shade and the water reflects the sun's glare.

Tours are suspended during heavy rain, strong winds, or local flood warnings for safety reasons, and tickets are typically valid for rescheduling once conditions improve.

Wear lightweight, breathable clothing and secure sandals or water shoes that can get wet, as you must step into shallow water to board and exit the vessel.

Super interesting activities at Bay Mau coconut forest tourist area:

+ Scenic basket ride:

During Bay Mau coconut forest tours, for a long time visitors will sit on a basket and be taken for a walk throughout the coconut forest. Although there is nothing special, almost everyone feels impressed with the Western-like scenery of this place. Gently pass through the green coconut groves, immersing yourself in a fresh scene no different from Da Lat.

+ Basket dance:

After hours of peaceful sightseeing, there will be an extremely skillful "basket dance" performance of the people here. This is also the most favorite activity but also the most "scary", because not everyone has the courage to participate. Usually, middle-aged men will be the ones performing the graceful, powerful and impressive basket rotations. While performing, the viewers outside continuously cheered and clapped along.

+ Souvenirs made from coconut leaves:

According to guests who have visited the coconut forest, they feel loved by the gifts from the people here. Even though it's just a flower, the locust is extremely cute, a symbol of the enthusiasm and spontaneity of the people of Quang. Don't forget to remember the boatmen's instructions on how to make coconut hats and how to handle coconuts to create your own items to keep as souvenirs.

+ Casting a net to catch fish:

The net display is extremely lively. Even though it's just a performance for tourists, it's still worth seeing. Many young people also took this opportunity to take beautiful pictures. Especially under the sunset, this rustic image of spreading a net also becomes artistic.

+ Other fun and entertainment activities:

Boat racing, tug of war, pot smashing, fishing attracts many tourists to participate and watch performances. Usually these activities will be organized for groups or tour guests. If you want to participate, you can actively register from the organizer.

Entrance fees typically range from 150,000-250,000 VND per person depending on tour type. Boat rides and guided experiences are usually included in package prices.
