Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Grasshopper Active - Hoi An Day Tours by Bike, Hoi An Vietnam
Meeting place before tour start. Your guide will fit your bike, give a safety briefing, and provide an overview of the tour.
Duration: 15 minutes
Pass By: Hoi An, Hoi An, Quang Nam Province
The tour begins by exploring the hidden passageways and winding alleyways of Hoi An, stopping to photograph the iconic Japanese bridge in the historic district. Crossing first the canal bridge near the night market we continue to the new metal bike bridge connecting Hoi An proper and its southern villages of Quang Nam Province.
Stop At: Cẩm Kim, Hội An, Quảng Nam, Vietnam
Not far from the bridge we visit a local family making Banh Beo in the traditional method. These small, savory rice flour bowls are a common breakfast staple in the countryside. We continue riding to one of Hoi An's most beautiful villages, stopping at a family home to learn about the tradition of family chapels. Our host is nearly 90 and vividly remembers his experiences in the American war.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Duy Vinh, Tp. Hội An, Quảng Nam, Vietnam
We pedal past rice fields and vegetable farms along small canals and waterways towards a wooden boat-building site. Fishing is still the lifeblood of the province and the construction of these ships is quite amazing to witness and photograph. If the timing is right, we'll also see families gathered to clean fishing nets between journeys at sea.
The roads narrow again to concrete paths and our final stops include a traditional mat weaving shop and a family distillery where rice wine has been produced in the same manner for generations. Of course, samples are provided.
It's a short ride from here to where we board a local ferry for a trip back to town. Have your cameras ready for great views of the Hoi An waterfront. Once dockside, it's a short 5-minute ride through alleyways back to the Grasshopper shop.
