Hoi An Countryside by Vespa

The country roads surrounding Hoi An branch away from the old town into a landscape of river islands, rice paddies, and traditional villages where mat weavers, boat builders, and rice cracker makers still work through the day. Hoi An Countryside by Vespa puts guests on the back of a vintage Vespa through this landscape, reaching communities and viewpoints that cannot be accessed by coach or tuktuk.

The day is paced around access rather than itinerary speed, with the Vespa allowing detours into narrow village paths and riverside trails that introduce guests to the working rural Hoi An rather than the postcard version.

Highlights

• Vintage Vespa Transport: Riding pillion on a classic Vespa through Hoi An's rural roads is part of the experience itself, with the vehicle's agility allowing access to narrow village trails and riverside paths closed to larger transport. The format is a natural conversation starter with local families along the route.
• Traditional Craft Villages: The route passes through communities where mat weaving, traditional boat building, and rice cracker and noodle making are still practised daily. Guests stop to observe or participate, with local family members demonstrating the processes firsthand.
• Riverside Organic Coffee Stop: The ride stops at a village cafe overlooking the water for an organic drip-coffee and an introduction to local coffee roasting technique. The stop brings a slower pace between more active cultural visits.
• Panoramic Views at Cua Dai Bridge: The route includes a stop at the top of Cua Dai Bridge for panoramic views across Hoi An and the surrounding countryside. The position offers a clear sense of the landscape covered during the day before the final lunch approach.
