My best memory from my trip to Vietnam.
ayakos949, October 2026
"The coconut boat in Vietnam was the most fun! I want to go again!" Even after returning home, the 5 and 9-year-old children kept saying how much fun it was.
My husband and I were also very excited about the spinning performance with cheerful music playing. I had an exciting experience with the children.
After that, I became obsessed with crab fishing.
It is highly recommended for people with children.
The staff members were also friendly and kind.
Thank you for the fun memories.

Great fun! The boat was a...
Josie_S, October 2026
Great fun! The boat was a fun adventure, then we also got to see the way they throw the fishing net on the traditional way and even tried our hand at crab fishing (they were returned to the water afterwards). Even though it was raining we still had a great time. They had an umbrella and plastic sheeting for us :)
Thank you!

Horrible scamming boatmen (not just one!)
SkyFlakesKiss, September 2026
There are one person boat drivers that operate as scammers. They let you ride first and state the overpriced fees, at that point you are hostage because you can’t get off the boat mid-way. They nudged you for TIP not once but will poke your wallet and scream in your face TIP several times half way. No Manner, No English. Simply unpleasant. Avoid at all cost. Smelly, dirty, swamp unkempt boatmen, there is nothing to see here and ride at your own peril.
Response from the operator · Vu_Coconut Hello MS R,
First of all, thank you for sharing your feelings after completing the coconut forest tour and for visiting our village to take part in it.
I hope you might spare a moment to double-check this feedback.
There are over 100 basket boat operators in our village; could you please verify if you are 100% certain that you joined our specific tour ?
We pride ourselves on being a reputable business; our boatmen are friendly and never solicit or demand money from tourists—they always strive to provide a wonderful experience (as you can see from previous customer reviews). Furthermore, the vast majority of our guests book in advance and pay via an app; we rarely sell tickets directly on-site.
You can verify this by checking the name of the business you booked with. If you don't recall the name, the business name is printed on the back of the boatman's shirt.
Our business name is "Green Coconut Village" (Làng Dừa Xanh)—please take a moment to check this.
If you find that it was not our business, please delete your review from our page, as such feedback has a significant negative impact on our company. I fully understand how you feel about being treated that way, but please try to see things from my perspective. It is very disheartening for us to receive such negative feedback when that is not how we operate; furthermore, other potential customers reading this review might mistakenly believe that we actually treat our guests that way!
Could you please double-check that you did indeed use our services? If so, would you mind attaching a few photos to confirm your visit?
If you need any assistance, please feel free to message me on WhatsApp at +84 905936985; I would be happy to help!
Please take a moment to review the details.
We truly appreciate your help!
Wishing you a wonderful day!
