🌴 Basket Boat Experience in the Coconut Palm Forest

Refined • Authentic • Stress-Free

Open daily: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

A visit to Hội An is not complete without exploring the serene waterways of Rừng Dừa Bảy Mẫu.

Drift gently through the coconut palm forest in a traditional round basket boat and experience a unique side of Vietnam’s river culture — away from the rush, away from the pressure.

At Basket Boat Café, we focus on quality over quantity, offering a relaxed and well-organized experience designed for guests who value comfort, transparency, and genuine hospitality.

✨ Why Choose Basket Boat Café?

• No hidden costs
• No forced tipping
• No aggressive selling
• Professionally trained, respectful staff/ boat rowers
• Clear explanation of services before departure

We believe a beautiful setting deserves a calm and thoughtful experience.

Just a small note: On your way to our café, you may encounter individuals on the street or taxi/motorbike drivers who attempt to redirect you to other boat rides or locations. Some might stop you, offer tickets, or persuade you to follow them elsewhere. Please be aware of these people. We kindly advise you to ignore such distractions and continue straight to Basket Boat Café, located at the end of the lane.

🌿 Limited Departures for a Better Experience

To maintain comfort and avoid overcrowding, we limit the number of boats departing at the same time.

Early morning and late afternoon are the most popular times to ride, thanks to the soft golden light and cooler temperatures.

As the tide changes frequently, we recommend contacting us in advance for the best experience. Reservations are recommended to secure your preferred time slot.

We look forward to welcoming you.
