Hoi An with Kids
Hands-on fun
Kids love the spinning basket boats in the Cam Thanh coconut forest, a short and cheap bit of fun. A lantern-making class is a calm, creative hour and they leave with a souvenir they made. A gentle cooking class with a market visit keeps older children engaged and fed.
Beach and pacing
An Bang beach is a few kilometres away, with gentle sand and seafood shacks for an easy half day. Plan active mornings and save the hot middle of the day for the pool or an indoor class. The old town lanterns at dusk are a hit with all ages.
