Tour Itinerary

Start Time: 7:45 am – End Time: 12 pm

Our tours starts at the Grasshopper shop located up a small alleyway off Hai Ba Trung Street.

Ancient District
Our ride begins by exploring the hidden passageways and winding alleyways of Hoi An, stopping to photograph the iconic Japanese bridge.

Countryside Exploration

Crossing first the canal bridge near the night market we continue to the new metal bike bridge connecting Hoi An proper and its southern villages. Not far from the bridge we visit a local family making Banh Dap using the traditional method. These small savoury rice flour bowls are a common breakfast staple in the countryside. We continue riding to one of Hoi An's most beautiful villages, stopping at a family home to learn about the tradition of family chapels. Our host is nearly 90 and fought in the American war. Next, we pedal past rice fields and vegetable farms along small canals and waterways towards a boat building site. Fishing is still the lifeblood of the province and the construction of these boat-works is quite amazing to witness and photograph.

Artisans & the Local Ferry

The roads narrow again to concrete paths and our final stops include a traditional mat weaving shop and a family distillery where rice wine has been produced in the same manner for generations. If the timing is right, we'll also have an opportunity to see families gathering to clean the fishing nets between journeys at sea. It's a short ride from here to where we board a local ferry for a trip back to town. Have your cameras ready for great views of the Hoi An waterfront. Once dockside, it's a short 5 minutes ride through alleyways back to the Grasshopper shop.

Your Comfort En-Route

Fresh fruit and cold water are served along the way. There's a stop for coffee or tea, too. Hoi An Countryside has been carefully crafted to offer a complete experience of the cityscape, the countryside and the people who call Hoi An and Quang Nam Province home. We finish the ride aboard a small ferry for the short transfer back to Hoi An. There's time to relax in our shop off the bike while enjoying a complimentary drink from our ice-cold fridge. A nice end to a great day out on a bike in Hoi An.

GUEST REVIEWS

I would highly recommend this tour for groups with or without kids...Super nice to get out in the countryside and be with such a fantastic tour guide. Lyna immediately joined our family as one of us! She did such a great job sharing with us the love of her country! Super fun for all! I highly recommend this tour and Lyna! (Ask for her by name!!)

-Ladunne

We had an amazing time touring the countryside with our fantastic tour guide Yen. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for genuine interactions with the local people of Hoi An.

Thank you Yen!

-Matthew R

My partner and I did the countryside tour with Lyna. The tour itself was very well organised with numerous stops at the homes of different Vietnamese families where you get a first hand experience into their daily lives.

Lyna was extremely friendly, knowledgable and nothing was too much bother. She went above and beyond to make sure the pace of the ride was okay, that we were always hydrated and that we could stop wherever and whenever we wanted for pictures.

Overall, this tour is a must do whilst in Hoi An!!

THIS TOUR CAN SELL OUT QUICK!
