Your Culinary Journey Begins
Your adventure starts with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in either Hoi An or Da Nang (for the full tour options). Settle in for a comfortable ride as you travel to a lively local market. Here, you’ll weave through bustling stalls, meet friendly vendors, and get an insider’s look at the fresh ingredients that will soon become the stars of your Vietnamese cooking class. This is your chance to soak up the vibrant atmosphere, ask questions, and perhaps pick up a few tips on selecting the best produce.
Back on the bus, enjoy scenic views of the lush Vietnamese countryside as you make your way to the charming village of Cam Thanh, nestled on the outskirts of Hoi An. This peaceful area is renowned for its traditional fishing heritage and abundant seafood. You’ll get a glimpse into the daily lives of local fishermen, gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s rich culinary traditions.
Unique Basket Boat Adventure
Next, embark on a one-of-a-kind ride in a traditional bamboo basket boat. Glide gently along calm waters, passing through a tranquil coconut forest—a truly unique way to experience the natural beauty of the area. Feel the rhythm of the water beneath you, listen to the rustling palms, and take in the peaceful surroundings as you float along this picturesque stream.
Hands-On Cooking Class
Arriving at the cooking venue, you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing drink and a moment to relax before diving into your hands-on cooking class. Guided by a skilled local chef, you’ll learn step-by-step how to prepare authentic Vietnamese dishes, from selecting ingredients to mastering essential techniques. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a complete beginner, you’ll find the experience both fun and rewarding.
Once your dishes are ready, sit down to savor the delicious meal you’ve created—an opportunity to taste the true flavors of Vietnam and celebrate your new culinary skills.
A Memorable Return
As your experience comes to an end, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel in Hoi An or Da Nang (for the full tour options), carrying with you not only new recipes and skills, but also wonderful memories of a day spent immersed in local culture. Your newfound knowledge is the perfect souvenir—one you can share with friends and family long after your trip
