Review for: Making Lantern Class with Lantern Boat Ride

I had a wonderful experience joining the Making Lantern Class with Lantern Boat Trip. The lantern-making workshop was fun, engaging, and easy to follow, even for beginners. The instructor was patient and explained each step clearly, allowing everyone to create their own beautiful handmade lantern. After the class, the lantern boat trip was truly magical. Cruising along the river while admiring the colorful lanterns reflecting on the water created a peaceful and unforgettable atmosphere. The view was especially stunning in the evening when the town lit up with hundreds of glowing lanterns. The combination of a cultural hands-on activity and a relaxing boat ride made this experience unique and memorable. It was a great way to learn about local traditions while enjoying the beauty of the city. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Hoi An, whether you're traveling with family, friends, or as a couple.

My guide was very friendly and patient. She taught me how to make a beautiful paper lantern where I could write my wishes before releasing it on the river, and she also helped me create a lantern to take home as a souvenir. I really enjoyed this workshop, and the boat ride was definitely the highlight of the experience. The atmosphere was magical, especially with all the lanterns lighting up the river at sunset. This is a wonderful cultural experience and something I highly recommend to anyone visiting Hoi An. A memorable activity that combines creativity, local traditions, and beautiful scenery.

I had an excellent experience making our own take home lanterns and the other lanterns to place in the river. My teacher was lovely. And the boat tour was a nice touch to end the experience by placing our lit lanterns in the river

Review for: Making Lantern Class with Lantern Boat Ride

Making lanterns ourselves was so much fun, and we got to take them home as souvenirs, which was great! The teacher also showed us how to fold water lanterns, on which we wrote our wishes. Afterward, they took us on a lantern boat ride to the Thu Bon River to release them. Our family had a whole boat to ourselves, which was wonderful! The boatman even took us to a more secluded spot, away from the crowds, to release them, which was incredibly refreshing! Highly recommend!

Review for: Making Lantern Class with Lantern Boat Ride

Making a lantern during our trip to Hoi An was a wonderful experience. Our instructor, Le, was very skilled and enthusiastic, offering clear guidance throughout. There was a wide range of materials and designs to personalise our lanterns creatively. The boat ride along the river at sunset added a peaceful and scenic touch to the activity. Overall, the prices were reasonable, making it a fun and memorable cultural experience. the location is easy to find.

Le was great! She helped me make my lantern and it was just me so I got plenty of help/attention! I got to make one to take home then made 2 that went in the water during the boat ride. She also offered to make me a juice (I love this about Vietnam) so I got to sip on fresh watermelon juice while making my lanterns. She also explained the history of lanterns in Hoi An and recommended things for me to do during my stay. would recommend to anyone!!
