The morning starts with a short drive to the My Lai Massacre Memorial for 30 minutes visit. We cycle through rice fields and authentic villages, and beautiful countryside. The paths are flat, giving you a more leisurely ride at your own pace, past many houses with stacks of straw for buffalos and cows. You can learn more about local culture and meet friendly people in their homes before we head to the coast and have some ferry crossing to little fishing villages along rivers. This is your endless photo opportunity with many little sampan and bamboo basket fishing boats alongside the river and on local beaches. Lunch en route to Hoi An. 

After some ferries to and out of the Islands, we stay on small paths by the River, passing tiny fishing hamlets with numerous fishing boats along the River. The River and its branches offer terrific views of bamboo boats, wooden boats, and small fishing villages. The family members are very busy when fishing boats come back. Fishermen's wives help them hang the fish to dry some, primarily fresh, are for sale. We have lunch at a local beach. We spend more time exploring the lush farmland rice paddies and less time on coastal fishing routes, enjoying the idyllic scenery of rustic villages along the Truong Giang River. In the late afternoon, you explore the backwaters of Thu Bon River, particularly the Cam Kim island that the iconic carpentry and traditional woodcarving. The island is famous for charming villages, old-fashioned agricultural irrigation canals, and small fishing villages with colorful fishing sampans amongst water palms. It's a terrific chance to explore the hidden charm villages: thatch houses, buffaloes on rice fields, bamboo bridges. We speed up Cam Kim Bridge over Thu Bon River, directly to the hotel resort where we stay two nights in Hoi An.
