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.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
We have used All Adventure Life many times over the years and the team members have been amazing through all the planning processes! Jeff has been our planner for China last year and Vietnam next year, and he is very responsive and overall terrific!

We had an excellent experience with Adventure Life. This was our second trip with them and we have a third in process. Our trip to Vietnam and Asia were well planned, great accommodations and very good guides. Everything went smoothly.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.
