Once you arrive at the village, swap your wooden boat for one of Vietnam’s iconic basket boats for a quick lesson in rowing! Once out on the Cua Dai River, your local guide will show you their traditional fishing techniques with a casting net and a round net. Back on land, your guide will tell you stories of the coconut village during the war, and you’ll learn a little more about the history of Vietnam.
