Bay Mau Coconut Forest

Bay Mau Coconut Forest Hoi An – Paddle Through the Jungle Heart of Central Vietnam

Tucked away in Cam Thanh Village just a few kilometres from Hoi An Ancient Town, Bay Mau Coconut Forest is one of the most enchanting and authentically Vietnamese experiences you can have in central Vietnam. Often called the “Mekong Delta of Central Vietnam,” this lush water coconut forest — known locally as rừng dừa nước — stretches across a network of calm canals and waterways shaded by towering nipa palm trees whose green fronds interlock overhead to form a natural tunnel of living greenery. The result is a landscape that feels utterly removed from the outside world: cool, quiet, and alive with birdsong, rustling leaves, and the gentle sound of water.
