The countryside surrounding Hoi An is beautiful, where life is simple. Riding a buffalo cart ride is the perfect transport of these rural roads, from which to experience the peace and get in step with the rhythm of daily life. This late afternoon excursion takes you on a 90-minute journey through charming village roads, alongside the canals which provide water for the paddy fields, past shrimp ponds and vegetable gardens. You will see the local farmers working in the fields transplanting rice, feeding their cows and fishing. Its a rather serene experience, clip-clopping along under the shade of coconut trees. You are picked-up from your hotel at about 3.30 (be it Hoi An or the beach) and travel to Cam Thanh, a local village where your transport is contentedly waiting for you.

A buffalo, a cart, your local guide and the countryside – what more do you need?!
