This place is more of a kitty sanctuary than a cat cafe. And this is meant in very good way. The volunteers are extremely welcoming and kind. The cats are very sweet. When we went there were around 50+ cats roaming the open court yard. My kids (15, 12, and 10) absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend this to animal lovers who are looking to just relax from the usual touristy activities in Hoi An. I would suggest that if you bring young children, make sure they are understanding how to act with the cats as some of them may be nervous.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a very relaxing massage and appreciated very much that we could have it next to each other at the same time! We were welcomed with a lemonade by a very lovely young Vietnamese women, who proudly told us about her two little sons in very good English! We stayed for dinner at the family restaurant next door- very delicious home made food! We recommend to go there straight after the relaxing massage! Highly recommended place, especially because of the very friendly atmosphere! Thank you!

As Murrels Inlet is to Myrtle Beach, this place is to Hoi An, but much more authentically so. I took a morning bike ride, (very safe; allow yourself to get lost), and it was before there would be much or any pressure to rent a "basket boat" from the locals, and it was some of my favorite sight-seeing. There are coconut groves in the water and old fishing huts and river life that's as interesting as it is beautiful.
7. Cam Nam Island

From Hoi An’s centre, a short ferry ride will take you to Cam Kim Island, an interesting place for an early morning cycle, which deserves to be added into this checklist of Hoi An attractions. Cam Kim Island is renowned for its woodcarving village (Kim Bong) and boasts peaceful countryside. Tourists could find other crafts here too, such as the basket fishing boats made by locals and the colorful woven sedge mats. One of the highly recommended activities when visiting Cam Kim Island is to peddle through corn and rice fields around it, even without the tour-guide. Don’t worry, you will not get lost there, and the experience will be particularly worthwhile.

Not cheap, but worth it. Great fun and an easy, hassle free way to see some of the countryside. My guide/rider was really helpful, and the price included lovely cold towels and water to refresh with. Definitely recommend.
9. An Bang Beach

We really enjoyed this beach! It's not very fancy, but it's got a very chill vibe. There are tons of chairs and umbrellas laid out across the beach and almost all of the restaurants will let you have chairs for the day for free as long as you buy something (even one drink counts!) so it's a great deal. The food and drinks on the beach are super reasonably priced and there are plenty of water activities as well if you want (parasailing, jet skis, banana boats, etc.). The water wasn't pristine but it was pretty clear and very enjoyable. You can enjoy drinks and food waterside but there are also some nicer restaurants along the beach if you want a proper sit down meal. The seafood is awesome! An Bang beach is also easily accessible from the main town, only a 5-15 minute motorbike ride depending on where you're staying (or you can easily bike as well). There is a 20k dong fee for parking a motorbike (about $1 USD) but this is well worth it to spend a great day at the beach!

We went here as part of a eco boat cooking tour. We enjoyed the pleasant quiet surroundings and the opportunity to catch crabs. A unique experience to go in a basket boat, but I probably would not have enjoyed it if it wasn't part of this tour.
