It’s a little far away, but it’s quiet and easy to find with Google Maps. The guide and staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You can enjoy the whole lantern experience in one place — make your own lantern, take a lantern boat tour, and get some really nice photos along the way. It’s basically an all-inclusive lantern experience, which makes everything very easy and convenient. We had a really nice time!
This was such a cool experience and for the price of it very good value. The man was very helpful and kind. Good little workshop to make your laterns and my partner and i were the only ones out on the boat to actually realease the laterns which was very nice.
we purchased this package we had a great time with the kids they really enjoyed making their own lantern , then we went on the boat ride to let our lantern out and a foot massage after to end the day
Such a wonderful experience in Hoi An! We really enjoyed making the floating lanterns and then taking the lantern boat ride. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made everything very enjoyable. The atmosphere on the river at night was beautiful and relaxing. Highly recommended for couples, families, or anyone visiting Hoi An.
All went smoothly as planned. The person in charge was accomodating and kind. He even guided us to a good restaurant nearby so we can have dinner first before we make our lanterns. after the lantern making we had our photos taken and guided to ride the boat and released our lanterns on the river and brought back to dock afterwards.
Crafting our own traditional lanterns under the patient guidance of friendly local artisans followed by a peaceful, magical evening gliding past the glowing Ancient Town on a private boat made for an absolutely unforgettable cultural experience.
We did the lantern making class and the boat ride. it was amazing. Nhan taught us so well and he escorted us for the boat ride and that was also amazing
The lantern marking and boat ride was a nice experience. :) Our guide is very welcoming. Definitely a must try.
We had a great experience - from the lantern making to the private boat ride and releasing of lanterns, it was perfect. Would definitely recommend this activty to anyone travelling in Hoi An/Da Nang
This tour allows you to make your own floating lantern. Although it is relatively simple, making it yourself and being able to write your own blessings on it makes it very fun. My mother found it very interesting, and the boatman was also very attentive in helping us take pictures.
