About this stopWhat to expect
The tour calls this stop 迦南島 and describes basket boats weaving through water-coconut palms. That matches the Bảy Mẫu coconut forest, also called the Cẩm Thanh coconut forest: a tidal wetland of water-coconut (Nypa) palms east of Hội An, toured by basket boat.
An earlier version of this site called it Cẩm Kim Island. The tour doesn’t give the Vietnamese name, so confirm the exact spot with your guide (unverified).
