Morning Hoi An Countryside Vespa Tour

At your hotel, we meet our drivers, guide and start your Morning Hoi An Countryside Vespa Tour. After a short briefing, then it’s time to start our adventures! Listen to the sounds of this famous engine whir as you start your journey. We pass a coconut palm village and acres of paddy fields making our way to the new Cua Dai bridge which offers spectacular views of Hoi An, the river and out to sea to the Cham Islands

We arrive at a small fishing hamlet, just in time to see the locals returning with their daily fishing catch. Enjoy watching the fishermen go about their trade and take a photo if you wish. A fundamental part of Vietnamese cuisine is fish sauce, almost every Vietnamese meal uses it. The villagers here make fish sauce daily. We learn about this ancient culinary craft enjoying a cup of Vietnamese coffee before we continue our adventure.

Next we set off toward the local market. Touring on foot, we arrive just in time to watch the traders feverishly selling their catch. We then sample “Banh xeo” prepared at the market.

Returning to our Vespas to continue the Vespa tour to another small village famous for the traditional art of making sleeping mats made of reed.

Our next stop is the home of a local boat builder who makes basket boats that are synonymous with Vietnam. Their history and the construction techniques are fascinating.

Making our way to the “Bamboo House” built by a bamboo craftsman, we observe the traditional art of bamboo furniture making. These trades have been handed down through the generations and continue to play a vital role in Hoi An culture. In addition, the craftsman’s wife provides a demonstration of rice flour and noodle making. We take a walk around the village to meet the locals who make fishing nets that are so important to the fishermen and women. Learn how to use the fascinating coracle boats. We have time to learn about daily life of locals and observe mat making and weaving. While we have been exploring the village, our hosts have prepared a delicious lunch for us to share with them.

We will ride across the Cam Kim bridge for your hotel in Hoi An. Other Vespa Tour awaits!
