Becoming a fisherman in Hoi An

Update: 20/12/2010
The ancient town of Hoi An charms visitors with its old, graceful houses, peaceful streets and traditional culture. Visitors to the ancient town can now have a thrilling experience at a local fishing village through a fishing tour provided by Hoi An Eco Tour Company.

They are first taken by a big ship to Cua Dai Fishing Village. There, visitors are transferred to small coracles owned by local fishermen and they experience a day in the life of a fisherman. They are instructed how to use a net to catch fish and after some first clumsy performances, many visitors including foreign men who have never tried this before, can make a good catch.

Saying farewell to the fishermen, the Hoi An Eco Ship then takes the visitors on a sightseeing tour to Cam Thanh Coconut Forest. Here they were also transferred to small round boats sailed by local women to go further inside the lush green forest.

These merry sailors greeted their passengers with some lovely souvenirs made from coconut leaves like rings or glasses. With perfect sailing skills, they guide their passengers with many thrilling performances on their boats.

Besides the fishing tour and visiting Cam Thanh Coconut Forest on boats, visitors can also try some other interesting options like farming tours, gardening tours, etc. These special products are helping Hoi An attract lots of visitors, especially foreign tourists.
