The Bay Mau Coconut Forest in Cam Thanh is often described by travelers as a miniature Mekong Delta right next to the ancient town of Hoi An. By joining the Bay Mau Coconut Forest Tour, you will escape the bustling city and float on rustic basket boats through endless water coconut groves.

Bay Mau Coconut Forest Map – Locations and Key Points
Understanding the locations in and around the Bay Mau Coconut Forest will help you plan your Bay Mau Coconut Forest Tour more proactively. This ensures you avoid getting lost or purchasing services at unclear prices.
Exact Coordinates and Address
The coconut forest is located in the Cam Thanh Commune area (now part of Hoi An Dong Ward, Da Nang City). The central coordinates are 15°52’41″N, 108°22’35″E. On Google Maps, you can search for “Rung Dua Bay Mau” or “Bay Mau Coconut Forest Hoi An” to pinpoint the exact location for your Hoi An basket boat tour.
| Starting Point | Distance | Estimated Time |
| Hoi An Ancient Town | ~3–5 km | 10–15 minutes |
| Da Nang City Center | ~30–35 km | 40–50 minutes |
| Da Nang International Airport | ~35 km | 45–55 minutes |
Tips for Using the Map On-Site
The Cam Thanh area has many narrow alleys and private boat docks along the canals. On Google Maps, the eco-tourism area might appear under several different names: “Rừng Dừa Bảy Mẫu,” “Bay Mau Coconut Forest,” “Cam Thanh Coconut Forest,” or “Hoi An Coconut Village” – all of which point to the same destination.
We highly recommend providing the exact coordinates or the Vietnamese name to your driver. This prevents you from being taken to unreliable service spots along the way before starting your coconut boat tour Hoi An.
How to Get to Bay Mau Coconut Forest
From Da Nang
The route is quite straightforward and easy to navigate. From the center of Da Nang, head along this path: Duy Tan -> Nguyen Huu Tho -> Vo Chi Cong -> Tran Quoc Vuong -> Nam Ky Khoi Nghia -> Truong Sa -> Lac Long Quan -> Vo Chi Cong, and then turn into Cam Thanh Commune. The distance is about 30–35 km, taking around 40–50 minutes to travel.
From Hoi An – Two Available Routes
By Road (Recommended): From Hoi An Ancient Town, follow Tran Hung Dao -> Cua Dai -> Vo Chi Cong into Cam Thanh Commune. The distance is only 3–5 km, taking about 10–15 minutes by motorbike or taxi. Along the way, you will cross the Cua Dai Bridge, offering poetic views of the Thu Bon River, before continuing past lush green rice paddies and peaceful villages to reach your Hoi An coconut boat tour.
By River: Departing from Bach Dang Dock (next to Hoi An Market) on the Hoai River, the boat drifts east for about 5 km to reach the coconut forest. This is a more romantic option, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful riverside scenery of Hoi An right from the start of your journey.
Other Exciting Activities at Bay Mau Coconut Forest
Fishing with a Net
Visitors will experience the traditional fishing method of the people of Cam Thanh, from choosing a spot to pulling the net. This activity offers the excitement of catching fish with your own hands and helps you understand more about the local river life. It’s also a fun experience for taking photos and capturing memorable moments.
Crab Catching and Coconut Harvesting
This activity allows visitors to immerse themselves in nature, learn how to catch crabs in the canals and harvest coconuts directly from the forest. It’s a family-friendly experience, especially for children. The ideal time is early morning or late afternoon when observation is easy and the weather is pleasant.
Watching the Basket Boat Dance
The basket boat dance is a signature performance of Hoi An, combining skillful boat handling techniques and fishing village culture. Visitors will watch it live on the river, providing a lively experience and many impressive photo opportunities.
Making Souvenirs from Coconut Leaves
Visitors are guided in creating handicrafts such as baskets, rings, and decorations from coconut leaves. This highly experiential activity is suitable for children and helps them understand more about traditional crafts. It’s best to participate in the morning or early afternoon for easy observation and recording of the process.
Cycling Around Cam Thanh Village
Cycling is an ideal way to explore the peaceful scenery of Cam Thanh village with its coconut-lined village roads and lush green canals. Visitors can combine this with visiting small tourist attractions and taking photos of nature in a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere.
Ideal Time to Visit Bay Mau Coconut Forest
The best time to book a Bay Mau Coconut Forest tour is from February to August – the dry season in Hoi An, with sunny, cool weather, the most beautiful coconut forest scenery, and the most favorable conditions for outdoor activities. In particular, February–April is the coolest period, ideal for families with young children or those unaccustomed to intense sunlight.
From September to January is the rainy season in Hoi An. The weather is unstable, many water activities are limited, and the scenery is less beautiful. If you must visit during this time, you should check the weather forecast carefully before booking a tour.
Ideal time of day: Arrive early in the morning (7:00–9:00) or around 3:00–4:00 PM to avoid the harsh midday sun and enjoy beautiful natural light for photos. This is also when the coconut forest is least crowded, offering a quieter atmosphere and a more complete experience.
Practical Tips and Tricks for Your Trip
Clothing: Prioritize comfortable, easy-to-move clothing – maxi dresses, shorts, light t-shirts. Women should avoid overly short or tight skirts as getting on and off the basket boat requires flexibility. For beautiful photos, many tourists choose to rent a traditional brown “ba ba” outfit and checkered scarf right in the area – both as an outfit for the experience and as a prop for extremely “poetic” photos.
Essential accessories: Conical hat (usually available on the boat), sunscreen, sunglasses, non-slip shoes. Especially, bring a waterproof phone case if you want to film the basket boat dance without worrying about damaging your device.
Cash: Many service points in the tourist area do not support card payments. Prepare enough cash for tickets, food, and souvenirs.
Avoid touts: At the entrance, there are often people trying to sell basket boats at prices higher than the listed price (even up to 300,000–400,000 VND/person). Stay calm, politely decline the offer, and go straight to the main pier to buy your ticket at the standard price.
If you get seasick: Inform the boatman in advance so they can adjust the speed and turning angle — the boatmen at Bay Mau are very experienced and willing to help.
What to Eat When Visiting the Seven-Acre Coconut Forest?
The cuisine in the Cam Thanh coconut forest area reflects the spirit of the people of the riverine region, combined with famous specialties of Quang Nam province:
Hoi An Banh Xeo (~20,000–30,000 VND/piece): crispy crust, shrimp, pork and bean sprout filling, served with fresh vegetables and a rich sweet and sour fish sauce.
Cao Lau (~30,000–40,000 VND/bowl): an indispensable Hoi An specialty with its characteristic chewy noodles, fragrant char siu pork and fresh vegetables.
Banh Dap Hen Xao (~20,000–30,000 VND/portion): crispy grilled rice paper served with stir-fried clams and fried onions, simple yet delicious.
Grilled Sun-Dried Squid (~100,000–150,000 VND/portion): fresh squid sun-dried and then grilled over charcoal, retaining its natural sweetness and chewiness.
Coconut rice and banana blossom salad: two signature dishes of eco-friendly restaurants in the area, perfect for lunch after exploring the forest.
Cooking experience with locals: Many package tours now include cooking classes right in the forest — visitors can prepare Vietnamese dishes themselves using fresh local ingredients and enjoy the fruits of their labor amidst the lush greenery.
