Half-Day Thuan Tinh Cooking Class with Row Boat Ride

We will pick you up at the hotels in Hoi An Town at around 8:20am. First, a trip to the market to purchase some fresh, locally grown herbs.

Then, we board our river boat for a relaxing 30-minute ride to Thuan Tinh Island, which is recognized by Hoi An as an official ecological zone.

To visit the local Village, we take a row boat ride through the water coconut trees. We then walk through the gardens to visit Ms. Hoa’s house to meet her family and snack on grilled rice cakes and iced tea.

From there, we head back to our open-air cooking class overlooking the water coconut trees and river. Our chefs will show you how to make Vietnamese food while you enjoy the cool breeze and peaceful setting.

Our chefs have prepared a 4 course cooking class of traditional Vietnamese dishes. They will demonstrate how to prepare them, and then it's your turn-you prepare your own tasty Vietnamese lunch!! We start with a homemade Passion fruit Juice soda to whet your appetite.

After the class, we will drop you off at the hotel at around 2:00pm. End of class.
