Helmet on and off you go! On a Hoi An Vespa tour you ride on the back of a classic Vespa with an experienced local rider, zipping past rice paddies, duck farms and river islands, stopping at family workshops to make rice crackers and taste rice wine, or diving into the town’s best street food after dark. It’s the most fun way to cover a lot of ground and meet local people along the way.

1. Hoi An Countryside & Islands Explorer (8 AM – 1 PM)
Escape the crowds and cross to Cam Kim Island along the riverside. Stop at an ancestral house to learn about local traditions and at a boat-building yard to watch craftsmen at work. Zig-zag through rice paddies to cottage workshops where you see mat weaving and learn to make banh dap rice crackers, then fuel up with a Vietnamese drip coffee. A scenic tree-lined road takes you to the coast at the mouth of the Thu Bon River, then over a new bridge with great views of Hoi An, before lunch at a local restaurant and drop-off at your hotel.
2. Rural Villages Experience (1:30 – 5 PM)
Follow the Thu Bon River to a busy local fish market for a short walk among the stalls, then ride into the countryside of rice paddies and sleepy hamlets. Visit a family workshop making rice crackers, cross the river to more quiet villages and stop for local snacks and drinks at a pretty viewpoint. Pass duck farms, watch a family weaving floor mats and visit a small workshop brewing potent rice wine, before riding back over Cam Kim Bridge as the sun sets.
3. Streets & Eats of Hoi An (5:30 – 9:30 PM)
A night out, Vespa style. Start with a cold drink and briefing at a local bar, then zip around town to taste banh can and Hoi An’s famous “white rose” dumplings. Hop on a local boat across the river to Cam Nam Island for seafood and cold beer, ride through winding back alleys to a lively restaurant for Vietnamese hot pot and “wrap and roll” dishes, and finish with barbecue grilled at your table and a final round of cheers before being dropped at your hotel.

Why See Hoi An by Vespa?
The classic Vespa scooter is part of Vietnam’s street history, and riding pillion on one is pure fun. More importantly, a Hoi An Vespa tour covers far more ground than walking or cycling, so in a few hours you can reach islands, villages and viewpoints that most visitors never see. Because an experienced local rider drives, you can simply sit back, take photos and chat with your guide about everyday life along the way.
Every Hoi An Vespa tour also includes hands-on stops: making rice crackers, watching mat weavers or boat builders at work, tasting rice wine or snacking at a family eatery. It is a lively mix of sightseeing, culture and food in one outing.
Families welcome: children can join the Hoi An Vespa tour with a helmet provided, and a child price applies to ages 6–12.
