All Vietnam day tours and short breaks tours, perfect to fill the gaps in any Vietnamese travel itinerary, showcase the best experiences to be had in this vibrant modernizing but charming nation.
It’s the simplicity of rural life in Vietnam that puts such wide smiles on the faces of farmers and fishermen, living off an abundant land with a philosophy geared towards hard work, community, and ultimately, happiness. Incredible Asia Journeys can get you a glimpse of such a life in Central Vietnam on the Hoi An Farming and Fishing Experience, a half-day excursion from Hoi An to some of the picturesque rural enclaves surrounding the town.These kinds of areas are the beating heart of Vietnam, fueling its people with rice, vegetables, fruit, meat, herbs, spices, and seafood. They remain steadfast in their use of ancient practices in an ever-modernizing world, planting and picking vegetables by hand, tilling rice fields by water buffalo, and catching fish with chai nets. The Hoi An Farming and Fishing Experience gives you a chance to try all of these, as well as meet some of the friendly local farmers and fishermen who will guide you through the processes.
As popular as Hoi An is with tourists, it is still possible to get off the beaten track. The villages, jungles, and canals surrounding the town represent bastions of authenticity, where life is lived at a slower pace and the fundamental principles of existence are based on happiness through meaningful work and a connected family life. On the Hoi An Eco Tour, you will get a true feeling for these concepts as we explore Hoi An’s outlying attractions, in the villages of Tra Que and Van Lang as well as the farms, fields, and forests that they encompass. The hands-on aspect of the Hoi An Eco Tour is what sets it apart from the rest. We will spend the morning working with farmers to tend to their organic vegetable crops, all the while enjoying views of watery rice paddies that shimmer with the glow of the sun. We cycle along quaint village roads to Van Lang, a fishing community that backs onto the water coconut forest of Bay Mau, where nipa palm and mangrove reign on the banks of waters teeming with fish.You will see the spirit of Vietnamese farming philosophy personified in Mr. Han, our smiling host who will welcome us into his beautiful family home for tea and the chance to create a wonderful lunch of local delicacies and delicious seafood. He, and the farmers and fishermen featured throughout the Hoi An Eco Tour, will surely leave us with a new idea on our pursuits of happiness.
