About this experience
Cam Thanh Village, also known as the Bay Mau Coconut Forest, is an 84-hectare coconut grove strategically grown to protect the village against sea waves. Enjoy a peaceful ride along the waterways lined with coconut trees in a traditional basket boat made from strips of bamboo, then coated in waterproof resin from coconut oil, tar, or fibreglass. The journey also features cultural performances that add to the overall experience of the area.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Your mobile ticket is accepted at the entrance — a screenshot or your booking app is fine.
What is the last time I can enter?
Last admission is at 16:00, so plan to arrive before then to enjoy the full experience.
Is this suitable for young children?
Yes. Life jackets are provided for all passengers, and children under 100 cm in height enter free of charge.
What is the difference between the two ticket options?
The standard ticket covers the basket boat ride and all performances. The 'with Coconut Drink' option adds a refreshing coconut drink to your visit.
How do I get to Cam Thanh Village from Hoi An's old town?
Cam Thanh is roughly 3–4 km from Hoi An's Ancient Town. Most visitors take a taxi, grab-bike, or hire a bicycle — the ride through the countryside is pleasant in itself.
Is the basket boat ride safe if I cannot swim?
A life jacket is included for every passenger, and the canals are calm and shallow, making this suitable for non-swimmers.
