About this tour
Pedal through Hoi An's rural landscape to Tra Que village, where you'll work alongside farmers tending herb and vegetable gardens. Spend three hours cycling quiet country lanes, pitching in with weeding and transplanting, spotting water buffalo, ducks, and egrets along irrigation channels. You'll finish with brunch and leave with dirt under your fingernails and a clearer sense of how the region feeds itself.

What to expect
You'll set off on a bicycle before sunrise or mid-morning, depending on the season. The pace is leisurely—this isn't a fitness ride. Once at Tra Que, a farmer will show you how to work the vegetable beds: you'll try your hand at hoeing, transplanting seedlings, and gathering aquatic plants used in local cooking. The soil is wet and clayey; expect to get genuinely dirty. Between tasks, you'll cycle slowly back through farmland, stopping to photograph water buffalo grazing and listen to the sounds of rural Vietnam. A simple brunch rounds out the morning.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind muddying and bring a change of shoes. The farm work is light but involves wet soil. Bicycles suit mixed abilities; ask about child seats and pram attachment when booking. Early morning rides are cooler and catch farmers at work.
