It was a great activity! The tour guide was so kind and friendly. We ended up paying an extra 100k per person to do the extreme boat ride and it was fun!

Excellent value for money. This provider created a much more calm and peaceful atmosphere than other providers (which were very busy and had loud music playing). The rower we had was very kind and helpful, providing us with hats, life jackets and a fan to use onboard. She also took loads of pictures for us, and gave us an opportunity to try rowing too. We got a lot more time on the boat than we were expecting, and had a wonderful time. This was great value for money.

Review: Coconut Boat Ride – Spinning Fun! Such a fun and unique experience! The round coconut boat ride through the water was full of laughs – especially when the boat started spinning! A must-try adventure in Vietnam!
