Hoi An Countryside by Bike

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.
