Spend a half-day bike tour through the Hoi An's countryside on this Vietnam trip extension. Visit a local family making Banh Beo, a popular Hue breakfast food consisting of steamed rice cakes. Cycle past rice fields and vegetable farms along canals and waterways on your route to a wooden boat construction site. Your final stops are a traditional mat-weaving store and a family distillery where rice wine has been made in the same way for centuries.
Highlights
Explore the Japanese Covered Bridge in Old Town
Ride along breathtaking scenery of rice paddies and farmland
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
In the early morning, make your own way to Grasshopper Adventures where your guide will fit you with a bike and give you a safety briefing before you head off to explore the hidden passageways and winding streets of Hoi An – stopping for the opportunity to photograph the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge in Old Town. From here, you continue on to the southern villages of Quang Nam Province, where you visit a local family making Banh Beo, streamed rice cakes – a common breakfast staple in Hue. Meet and chat with the head of the family, who is nearly 90 years old and vividly remembers his experiences during the Vietnam War. You pedal past rice fields and vegetable farms along small canals and waterways toward a wooden boat-building site. Your 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 the local ferry for a trip back to town. Once dockside, it's a five-minute ride through alleyways back to Grasshopper Adventures, where you’ll be rewarded with a complimentary cold beverage after a fun day exploring Hoi An and the surrounding countryside.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.

I've just started the process, but Tilly has been very helpful and has a great personality that puts a traveler at ease. I think the paperwork has just begun so I can't give an overall rating of the whole experience. So far, so good.
