Cooking Class with Basket Boat, Coffee & Lantern Making Class

Our tour stands out by combining multiple authentic local experiences into one seamless journey. From cruising through the Bay Mau Coconut Forest on a traditional basket boat to hands-on activities like making Vietnamese coffee with a phin filter, crafting your own Hoi An lantern, and cooking local specialties with a skilled chef — every moment is interactive and meaningful. Unlike standard tours, we focus on real cultural immersion. You don’t just watch — you participate. You connect with local traditions, learn directly from experienced locals, and create your own products to take home. All activities take place in a peaceful eco-setting at Phu Lanh, offering a more personal, less crowded atmosphere.
