Hoi An / Hoi An Family Cooking Class & Adventure
Hoi An · Private full-day family tour
A treasure hunt through the Ancient Town, countryside cycling, a cooking class, a bamboo craft and the coconut waterways by basket boat.
Full day · Private family tour · Ages 5 and up
One day, four completely different things, all of them hands-on.
This is a day built for families who want more than a walk around the old town. It starts as a treasure hunt: your children follow clues through the Ancient Town, complete challenges and collect stamps in an Explorer Passport, which is a far better way of seeing the place than being told about it.
From there you cycle out through the rice fields to an organic garden, harvest what you need and cook lunch together, then work with local artisans to make a bamboo souvenir to take home. The day finishes in the water coconut forest by kayak or traditional basket boat. It is private, the pace is yours, and the guide keeps the whole thing moving so nobody gets bored.

More ways to spend a day around Hoi An.



A private full day built for families with children of about five and up. It runs as four hands-on blocks: a treasure hunt through the Ancient Town, cycling out to an organic garden, a cooking class and lunch, a bamboo craft workshop, then the coconut waterways by kayak or basket boat. Hoi An hotel transfers included.
Good to know before you go.
It is designed for ages five and up. Younger children can join but will need a hand with the cycling, the cooking and the paddling, and the day is long, so it is worth being honest with yourself about nap times.
It is a full day, starting with a morning pick-up from your Hoi An hotel and finishing back there in the evening. Because it is private, the timings flex around your family rather than a fixed schedule.
Yes. It is run as a private family tour, so the guide is yours, the pace is yours and the order of the day can be shuffled around if the weather or the children decide otherwise.
A gentle ride on flat lanes between the Ancient Town and the countryside, with bicycles and helmets provided. Nothing technical and nothing long.
Yes, tell us what you need when you book and the class is built around it. The ingredients are harvested from the garden on the day, so there is plenty of room to adjust.
Both are possible and your guide will advise on the day based on the water and your group. Children tend to vote for the round basket boat, which is harder to steer and therefore funnier.
