What to expect

Your guide meets you at Chan May and drives you south to Hoi An (roughly 90 minutes). You'll walk the old town on foot—expect narrow lanes, hawkers, and tourist groups, especially mid-morning. The lantern-lit assembly halls and shophouse interiors are peaceful once you venture off the main drag. After lunch, you'll head to Cam Thanh village and board a small wooden boat to drift under coconut palms; it's gentle and scenic, not strenuous. Return begins by early afternoon to get you back before embarkation.

Good to know

Wear comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen; Hoi An's stones are uneven. Bring a small bag for shopping. Bottled water is supplied. If travelling with infants or prams, the old town's cobbles are tricky—guides can suggest flatter alternative routes. Tips for guide and driver are not included but always appreciated.
