Bike and Kayak Hoi AnÂ
Travellers set off in the morning to explore the iconic Old Hoi An, before crossing the canal bridge and continuing to the new metal bike bridge, connecting Hoi An proper and its southern villages.
Out in the countryside, guests will visit a local family who makes Banh Dap, a traditional breakfast staple, and stop at a local home to learn about the tradition of family chapels (the visit is hosted by a 90-year-old Vietnam-American War veteran who has many an astounding story to tell). From here they’ll meander through the peaceful countryside, enjoying a visit at a traditional mat weaving shop and a family distillery where rice wine has been produced for generations. A delicious homemade lunch of Hoi An specialties will then be served at a local house. Afterwards, your clients switch active modes and kayak along the Thu Bon River, with a stop at one of the little islands to rest before returning to their hotel.
