The river bends low and green as the bamboo basket boat slips into Bay Mau’s mangrove fingers, water lapping at its rim like a patient hand. Riders push off from a small landing near Cua Dai Bridge and trade the horn of motorboats for the quiet rhythm of paddles. In 90 minutes the countryside unfurls: fishermen casting small nets, the bark of kingfishers, and the taut fragrance of passionfruit juice served at a riverside stop.

The river bends low and green as the bamboo basket boat slips into Bay Mau’s mangrove fingers, water lapping at its rim like a patient hand. Riders push off from a small landing near Cua Dai Bridge and trade the horn of motorboats for the quiet rhythm of paddles. In 90 minutes the countryside unfurls: fishermen casting small nets, the bark of kingfishers, and the taut fragrance of passionfruit juice served at a riverside stop.
This stretch of the Thu Bon River has long supported fishing families; the mangroves are recent focal points for community restoration after decades of extraction. Geologically the area is a river-delta plain — low, flat, and muddy — where sediment builds islands and channels that change with the tides. Culturally, the trip offers a hands-on fishing-net experience and a look at traditional river living that still shapes Hoi An’s coastal villages.
Practical details are straightforward: the tour runs about 90 minutes, starts near Cua Dai Bridge, and is suitable for most fitness levels — you sit or stand in a shallow, round basket and balance while a local guide maneuvers. Bring sun protection, insect repellent, and a waterproof pouch for phones; expect mud, low bridges, and occasional splashes. Morning or late afternoon slots are best for softer light and cooler temperatures. Follow guides’ instructions when boarding, support local vendors with small purchases, and avoid stepping into fragile mangrove roots. The ride is short but vivid: the river teases and nudges you forward, and the mangrove keeps watch.
The experience is approximately 90 minutes from pickup to return, including a short stop for refreshments and the fishing-net demo.
Yes; it’s rated easy and accommodates most ages, but those with balance issues or serious back/heart conditions should avoid it.
Expect river birds like kingfishers, small crabs and mudskippers, and fish near the mangrove roots—wildlife is common but not guaranteed.
Basic facilities are available at the check-in area near the village; expect limited amenities once underway.
