Hoang took us on an excellent tour of farming and fishing. We went to the vegetable farm and were shown how different vegetables grow. Also a very different way of watering! Then the fishing village trip which was very interesting, learning the different ways they fish in Hoi An. We went to Hoang's house and learned how to make Vietnamese pancakes. The lunch was delicious and Hoang was a great guide. Would recommend.

A really enjoyable tour to see and learn about farming & fishing in Hoi An. Hoang was lovely, explaining Vietnamese life to us. He also accommodated my husbands sore knee by taking him on the back of his motorbike. Loved the chance to try making the pancake and the lunch provided was delicious. A great day! Thankyou to Hoang and his wife!
The organization of this tour is fine. We had and very nice guide and were generously received for the cooking class. Everything was fine. Thank you!

Mr Hoang was a kind, thoughtful, and flexible guide who provided us with a collection of experiences from the playful to the educational. We opted to use our homestay’s provided bikes, and he guided us from there to a number of sites around his village and the surrounding rice paddies. Riding in a basket boat and sitting on a water buffalo were fun, but I particularly enjoyed our host’s clear and charming explanation and demonstration of rice farming and production, especially hulling and polishing rice using the same hand tools his parents used. The meal that concluded our brief cooking class was delicious (and felt well earned after our cycling and water buffalo-sitting). After lunch, our host led us safely back home.

Hoang is a knowledgable, nice, and helpful guide. He made the trip memorable and his wife is an excellent cook. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.
I went on the tour with my 8 year old son. We had a great day! I was driving a bike with my son seated behind me while Mr. Hong was driving motorbike very slowly and guiding our private tour. Mr. Hong was really nice and gave us good information along the way. After a good day program we drove to he's home, where we were served a delicious home cooked meal. Thisbwas one of the best things we did in Hoi An and recommend it highly! :)) Thanks again Mr. Hong & family!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Hoi An Eco Tourism! The tour was well-organised, and every moment was enjoyable. Hoang was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about showcasing the beauty and culture of Hoi A farming and fishing. From the bike riding to the hands-on activities like traditional fishing and coconut boat rowing, every part of the tour felt authentic and immersive. It was amazing to learn about rice farming and to have an amazing cooking lesson Hoang’s home. This is a must-do for anyone visiting Hoi An! Highly recommend!

Our family had an incredible experience on the biking and fishing tour with Mr. Hoang in Hoi An. Traveling with our 4- and 7-year-old, we were amazed at how engaging and well-paced the entire tour was. We started by biking from our villa through the stunning rice fields, soaking in the beautiful countryside. Mr. Hoang’s warmth and knowledge made every stop fascinating. We learned how to cast fishing nets and even fished for crabs, which was a huge hit with our kids! One of the highlights was learning about the traditional rice-making process — interactive and fun for all ages. The tour wrapped up with a delicious, home-cooked meal at Mr. Hoang’s house, making us feel like part of his family. This experience was the perfect mix of adventure, education, and authentic local culture. We highly recommend it to any family visiting Hoi An!
