Cycle quiet lanes and glide in a basket boat through coconut palms on this half-day Hoi An loop. Combine village pottery visits and a home-cooked lunch with an afternoon yoga session to reset before returning to town.

You start the morning on two wheels, pedaling away from Hoi An’s old town while the Thu Bon River tugs at the light. Coconut palms lean over narrow channels; a local fisherman offers a basket boat ride that rocks you into the waterway’s rhythm. By midmorning the ferry drops you back on the mainland and the road opens into flat rice paddies and shaded lanes that smell of wet earth and green herbs.

History
Hoi An prospered for centuries as a trading port; Thanh Ha pottery has supplied the town since at least the 17th century using local delta clay.
Conservation
Stick to marked lanes, avoid single-use plastics during village visits, and support family-run lunch stops to keep local economies resilient; river health depends on limiting runoff and trash.
