Hoi An Eco Tour offers an usual activity in the popular ancient town for foreign tourists – becoming a fisherman/farmer for the day.

The family-owned tourist company wants to give visitors something new when they visit Quang Nam Province and thus offer this new attraction.

It offers interesting activities, including buffalo riding and net fishing and with the fishing & farming tour, travelers can go individually or in group. A tour guide will pick up tourists at their hotel at 8 a.m. and the program will wrap up at 2 p.m. after lunch on a boat. Those interested can call +84 1234 33 1111 or log on www.hoianecotour.com.vn.
