Itinerary
Hoi An – Cua Dai – Duy Thanh – Duy Nghia – Ban Thach – Hoi An

08:00 Your expert guide will meet you directly at your hotel to hand over your bicycles and provide a comprehensive overview of the day's exciting itinerary. We will kick off our journey by pedaling towards the magnificent Cua Dai Bridge, where you can take in spectacular, sweeping views of the lush nipa palm (water coconut) mangrove forests stretching across the estuary.

Our next fascinating stop is the historic Noi Rang Market in Duy Nghia commune. Boasting a rich history spanning over 300 years, this vibrant local market serves as a living museum, preserving the unique cultural traits and daily trading customs of the Quang Nam people. We will then continue our cycling adventure along peaceful village pathways, weaving through a vast, fertile countryside adorned with emerald-green vegetable gardens and active shrimp farms.

This incredibly rich land is naturally embraced by three major rivers—the Thu Bon, Truong Giang, and De Vong. Thanks to this prime geographical location, the area historically developed into a highly prosperous hub, with numerous craft villages dedicated to supplying essential goods to the bustling markets of Hoi An. Along this scenic route, we will make several enriching stops at local production workshops to intimately observe the intricate processes of traditional boat building, sedge mat weaving, and delicate bamboo and rattan basketry.

11:30 We will enjoy a smooth operational transition by boarding a local boat to cross the majestic Thu Bon River. Upon reaching the other side, a short, pleasant ride will lead us to the Thanh Dong organic vegetable village. Here, we will take a well-deserved rest and be treated to a heartwarming, authentic home-cooked lunch hosted by a local family right in the heart of the village. Following this highly satisfying meal, our transfer vehicle will be waiting to drive you comfortably back to your hotel, officially concluding this enriching cultural expedition.
