Wonderful and memorable experience! It was one of my best itinerary in my Vietnam trip. They are very warm, and jolly! Very patient in teaching us how to do the steps properly. The coffees we made are really gooood! Hope I’ll be able to make my own close to how it tasted during the class way back home. 🤣 I highly recommend!

great experience. the studio was spacious and airy. the staff was pretty much one is to one to help you. we got the express version which was ok. the lantern frame is pre made you just choose the shape you want. there is also a full workshop where you also learn to make the lantern frame. its a nice souvenir to bring home.

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.

A really good experience and thoroughly enjoyable. Learning how to make the 5 versions of the coffee, about their culture and history, was informative. Being able to drink the coffees after making them was 'the best'. All participants loved the workshop and experience. The presenter was engaging and a good teacher. I highly recommend this if you're at all interested in coffee. It was my first time drinking the Egg Coffee. 👌And my favourite is the Coconut Coffee.

i loved this experience, if you are into perfumes and want to take a souvenir back home i would highly recommend! i got to make two perfumes. I was assisted the entire time. They gave suggestions to enhance my perfume without changing the overall fragrance. i loved my experience!

Such a unique experience! You start with a welcome drink and then learn about the entire silk-making process. We saw silkworms at different stages and sizes, touched their cocoons and learned about their life cycle and how they are fed. We even got to cut mulberry leaves for them using a traditional tool.
The best part is how hands-on the tour is. We tried extracting silk threads from cocoons, operating different machines, winding silk onto wooden spools and even weaving fabric. We could also touch different types of silk and learn why some are softer or thicker than others. The most fascinating was an incredibly complicated traditional weaving machine used to create colourful patterns, which we also got to try!
The equipment seems to be there mainly for demonstrations rather than actual production, but that didn’t take away from the experience. The only downside was that our guide’s English was difficult to understand. Overall, very immersive, educational and fun!

I had a 3 hour wood carving beginner session today - started off touring the compound and seeing the beautiful wood structures, seeing the craftsmen at work, before doing the wood carving course. We chose our designs, then the instructors taught us in stages such that we can learn quickly and work on our pieces. Special thanks to Nhut for helping us tremendously through the course. 100% recommend!

What to know before visiting Hoi An
Top Hoi An Attractions
Hoi An Ancient Town
The heart of Hoi An is its Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with narrow streets, old merchant houses, and colorful lanterns. You can explore historic spots like Tan Ky House, the Japanese Covered Bridge, and charming riverside cafes that show off Hoi An’s timeless beauty.
Japanese Covered Bridge
One of Hoi An’s most famous landmarks, the Japanese Covered Bridge connects two parts of the Old Town and represents the city’s rich cultural mix. Visit during the early morning or at night when it’s beautifully lit by lanterns for the best experience.
Thu Bon River
Take a boat ride along the Thu Bon River to see local life up close. In the evening, you can release paper lanterns onto the water or enjoy dinner at a riverside local restaurant, making it one of the most peaceful experiences in Hoi An.
An Bang Beach
Just a short 5-minute bike ride from Hoi An’s Ancient Town, An Bang Beach is perfect for relaxing under palm trees and swimming in the warm sea. You’ll find beach bars, local beer, and seafood restaurants serving fresh Vietnamese food right by the water.
Thanh Ha Pottery Village
A quick day trip from Hoi An, Thanh Ha Pottery Village lets you see traditional pottery-making in action. You can even try shaping your own clay piece and learn about this centuries-old craft passed down through local families.
Hoi An Night Market
When the sun sets, the Hoi An Night Market comes alive with colorful lanterns, street food, and handmade souvenirs. It’s a great place to taste banh mi and white rose dumplings and shop for local crafts while taking in the lively Vietnamese culture.
Tips before visiting Hoi An
1. Visit During the Dry Season
The best time to visit Hoi An is from February to April, when the weather is sunny and comfortable. Avoid the rainy season (October to January) since heavy rain and flooding can affect your plans.
2. Get a Vietnam eSIM for Easy Connectivity
Stay connected during your trip by getting a Vietnam eSIM from Klook. It’s convenient for using maps, booking tickets, and checking restaurant reviews while exploring Hoi An’s Ancient Town or nearby beaches.
3. Bring Cash for Local Markets
Many small shops and vendors in Hoi An only accept cash, especially at the Central Market and night markets. ATMs are available, but it’s easier to have some local currency on hand.
4. Explore Early Morning or Evening
Hoi An can get crowded and hot and humid during the day, so plan your Hoi An walking tours in the early morning or evening. You’ll enjoy the lantern-lit streets with fewer crowds and cooler weather.
