You climb into a restored U.S. Army Jeep, wind and rice-scented air pushing at your face, and the old town’s lanterns fall away behind you. The vehicle bumps over narrow bridges onto Cam Kim, then opens out into a grid of paddies where water mirrors the sky and buffalo graze like slow-moving anchors in the landscape.

You climb into a restored U.S. Army Jeep, wind and rice-scented air pushing at your face, and the old town’s lanterns fall away behind you. The vehicle bumps over narrow bridges onto Cam Kim, then opens out into a grid of paddies where water mirrors the sky and buffalo graze like slow-moving anchors in the landscape.
This tour threads living history with living craft: Hoi An’s countryside once fed the port city that traded with China, Japan and Europe. Geologically the plain is alluvium from the Thu Bon River, a flat, fertile basin that supports intensive vegetable beds at Tra Que and the small-scale woodworking and mat-weaving trades still practiced in family workshops.
Culturally the day is hands-on — learn rice-paper pressing, try weaving, paddle a round bamboo boat through water coconut channels and watch traditional net-casting. The guide explains rhythms of planting and harvest, and how local techniques persist despite tourism’s pull.
Practical side: expect five hours moving at a relaxed pace with multiple short stops and light, guided activities. Wear closed shoes for farm paths and a hat for sun; a compact rain jacket helps during summer squalls. Bring small bills for village purchases and a reusable bottle — water is provided, but minimizing plastic helps the fragile wetland.
Timing matters: mornings are cooler for farming demonstrations; late afternoons offer warm light for photos. The experience is social and accessible — minimal fitness is required, but be ready to step in and out of the Jeep and balance in a bamboo boat.
