The boat ride and cooking class were great. The boat paddler went out of his way to keep the mood festive and lively. I also really enjoyed the cooking class. They were super accommodating to my gluten and seafood allergies. I appreciated them changing the menu for me at the last minute for my dietary needs. I highly recommend the tour.

The cooking class was amazing. The chef cook is really nice and it was so fun. You get to cook everything by yourself and she explains everything very detailed. The food tastes amazing. We cooked 4 dishes. Spring rolls, xeo pancake, fried noodles and banana flour salad. Also the coconut boat ride was really fun. Your guide is really nice and you get to do activities on the boat. We catched crabs, paddled on our own, spinned around until we got dizzy😂 and took a lot of pictures. You also get a hat for the photos and an umbrella for the heat. Absolutely recommend it.
