Tra Nhieu Fishing Village Eco Tour from Hoi An | Net Weaving Experience
Just 20 minutes from Hoi An’s Ancient Town lies Tra Nhieu Fishing Village, a peaceful riverside community where time seems to slow down. Forget the tourist crowds — this is where you’ll meet real fishermen, hear their stories, and experience their way of life up close.
Join the locals in weaving and repairing fishing nets, a craft passed down for generations. Feel the rhythm of the river as you work with your hands, guided by people who live by the water every day. It’s simple, quiet, and surprisingly meaningful — a reminder of how deeply connected life here is to nature and community.
The morning unfolds gently: a short boat ride along the Thu Bon River, a warm welcome from local families, hands-on net weaving, and a taste of rustic countryside life. Every smile, every knot tied tells a story of resilience and tradition.
If you’re looking for something authentic — not staged, not rushed — this eco-cultural tour will leave you with more than just photos. It will give you a piece of Hoi An’s soul.
