Rural Villages Experience – Hoi An: Experience local life in the slow lane.

Setting off from Café Zoom in Hoi An, we head out west along the banks of the Thu Bon River, first stopping at a bustling local fish market before heading into the rice paddy rich countryside and local villages, stopping to meet a local family producing local rice crackers. Crossing a bridge over the Thu Bon River takes us through more quiet villages and then into beautiful farmlands, where we take a break for a local speciality dish while surrounded by seasonal vegetables in the picturesque fields of corn, eggplants, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, and herbs (location is seasonal).

As the sun starts to go down, we set off through the rice paddies, passing duck farms, visit a local mat weaving family and then ride along by the prawn farms and over the river to visit a charming family home where they produce the local & potent favourite brew – rice wine. It’s then a short ride over the Cam Kim Bridge into Hoi An as the sun begins to set on this beautiful heritage town.
 
Highlights – local fish market, zooming through the countryside, rice cracker family, local food on tour, mat weaving family, home rice wine distillery.

Reviews

"We had never been to Vietnam before, so doing this on a Vespa would allow us to see how people there live. At first, my husband didn't want to go because he thought it wasn't safe to go on bikes, but he thanked me afterward because he had a great time. At each stop, our drivers told us everything that was going on. We enjoyed going around the rice fields, making wine, weaving mats, crossing the floating bridge, and going to the fish market. It was a great way to see Hoi An at its most rural. This is an excellent idea for anyone who wants to see how people live outside the main town."
