Hoi An Biking and Kayaking
Hoi An, Vietnam
Private | Half-Day | Nature & Outdoors
Adventure looms outside Hoi An. As much as it culturally enthrals, it also stands out as one of Vietnam’s most charming and historic trading posts, adding an active element to your travel. Once the yellow contours of downtown Hoi An make way for a more rural, natural setting, a new world of exploration emerges. A full-day touring option that includes kayaks and bicycles, offering different yet verdant green views of the adventurous side of Hoi An.
To show clients that there is more than meets the Hoi An eye, Discova firmly believes in the power of the humble bicycle. From your hotel’s doorstep, it is a leisurely ride out of town and into the authentic side, painted with small villages, rice paddy fields, and abundant local immersions. Depending on the location of your hotel, seeing some of the landmarks of Hoi An could also be on the cards.
As clients pedal in our guide’s tyre tracks, meeting the local community starts with witnessing the creation of Banh Bap, a quintessential Hoi An breakfast dish featuring delicate rice flour bowls filled with savoury delights at a family home.
After a satisfying lunch, the adventure takes a new turn as we trade land for water. We embark on a kayak adventure down the Thu Bon River. Seeing the Hoi An surroundings from the water’s surface delivers a new perspective: idyllic landscapes dotted with Hoi An’s signature landscape, and one may admire authentic ways of fishing, representing local life along its main waterway.
The transition from cycling to kayaking adds a new dimension to the journey, making it even more exciting. The early afternoon ends with a sense of accomplishment as we arrive at the Cam Thanh area, where a minivan awaits to drive you back to your Hoi An hotel.
