Local market, basket boat, crab fishing & cooking class

Connect with Hoi An’s food and fishing traditions through three hands-on experiences in one outing. Begin at a local market, where your English-speaking guide helps you discover fresh ingredients and understand how they are used in Vietnamese kitchens. In Cam Thanh, meet local fishermen and explore Bay Mau’s palm-lined waterways in a round bamboo basket boat. Try paddling, casting a fishing net and catching small crabs while hearing stories about village life. The cooking class brings these discoveries to the table in a local home. Use a stone grinder to make rice milk, then turn it into crispy Hoi An pancakes. Prepare spring rolls, papaya salad and chicken with mushrooms with guidance at every step, before sharing the meal you have made. From choosing ingredients to learning traditional techniques, you take an active part throughout. Morning and afternoon sessions, hotel transfers and vegan options on request make this a convenient way to experience Hoi An through its people and food.
