In the afternoon, you will cruise along the Ham Luong River, visiting small factories that provide an insight into how the local economy works. Stops include a coconut processing workshop where you can sample fresh coconut and see how every single part of this versatile nut is turned into food and other products, and a broom-making family, where brooms are made using coconut leaves – you can even have a go at weaving yourself!
