Itinerary
Cam Kim commune
We will start our journey by exploring the captivating countryside, cycling along scenic roads surrounded by lush rice fields, bamboo, banana, and palm trees. Our knowledgeable tour guide will share fascinating insights into how local Vietnamese farmers cultivate wet rice, cereals, herbs, and vegetables.
Our first stop is an organic farm where farmers use composted river weeds as natural fertilizer, highlighting their commitment to sustainable practices. Next, we will visit a local family that crafts colorful sleeping mats from a special type of grass. Here, you will gain a deeper understanding of the traditional mat-making process in Vietnam.
As we continue cycling through picturesque villages, we will make stops to observe local life, including visits to recycled material shops and rice noodle makers. These encounters offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the villagers and their craftsmanship.
Kim Bong Carpentry Village
We will then pause at a peaceful local restaurant by the palm tree-lined river, where you can enjoy a fun experience rowing a bamboo basket boat (coracle)—a unique method of water navigation found only in Vietnam. After a light meal, we will cycle to a century-old wooden house belonging to an artisan from Kim Bong Carpentry Village, where you will learn about traditional carpentry techniques before taking a scenic boat trip back to Hoi An.
