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!
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.
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
super cute. you make a paper lantern add a wish and they'll take you out on prearranged boats. no looking or stressing over cost on the streets
An unforgettable experience. When the small boat reached the river surface filled with floating candles, the water washed away all anxiety, and you could watch your own lantern drift away gradually. Just as described in Siddhartha, the river flows eternally, and we only exist in that very moment of the present.
We had a wonderful time with the private lantern boat ride and floating lantern-making class. The guide was very friendly, patient, and helpful. Making our own floating lantern and writing our wishes on it was such a meaningful experience. We then released the lanterns onto the river and watched them gently float away, which was truly beautiful and peaceful.
