The Cam Thanh water coconut wetland is a unique mangrove ecosystem in Central Vietnam, recognized as an integral buffer zone of the UNESCO Cu Lao Cham Biosphere Reserve. Here is what you will experience during your visit:
Vietnamese basket boats were invented during the French colonial period as a practical way for local fishermen to avoid heavy boat taxes. Today, these circular boats are handwoven from waterproofed bamboo and coated with tree resin, offering a stable and buoyant ride through shallow mangrove canals.
In the wide river intersection, local rowers perform acrobatic boat spinning to lively music. Rowers tilt the round boat onto its edge and spin it rapidly using single-blade wooden paddles. Guests can watch from a comfortable distance or step into the spinning boat for an adrenaline rush.
Along the dense nipa palm roots, travelers receive small bamboo rods with fresh bait. You can catch small purple river crabs (Sesarma) directly from the boat. To preserve the natural ecosystem, all crabs are released back into the water after viewing.
Experienced local fishermen stand balanced on the rim of wooden sampans and cast large circular nets across the water. This traditional fishing technique has sustained river communities in Quang Nam province for over 200 years (Note: Daily net casting demonstrations run until 4:30 PM).
Beyond the bustling performance areas, Làng Dừa Xanh guides paddle through tranquil secondary waterways beneath dense green palm canopies, offering a peaceful glimpse of rural Vietnamese river life.
We provide transparent, fixed ticket prices with zero hidden commissions or third-party markups.
