Review for: Boat Ride Ticket + Free Lantern + Herbal Tea

Everything went as planned – we were met at the specified address, led to the boat, and my companion and I were seated. The boatman helped us put on life jackets and light our lanterns, and then he took us on a 20-25 minute ride along the river, which was full of colorful lights ❤️🏮 This is definitely one of our best memories of Hoi An, along with the lantern-making workshop ❤️

Hoi An is remarkably preserved and renowned for its unique architecture. Evening glow, where the town turns off electric lights and illuminates the streets woth thousands of handmade, brightly colored silk lanterns.

This is a must and a great experience when you visit Hoi An! It’s feels magical! There’s a queue but it’s very fast since there’s a lot of boat. We came during peak summer so it’s super hot so I recommend to go here during cold season :)

The experience in Hoi An was amazing. Especially at the night times when we released lanterns they were absolutely beautiful. The vibes at the riverside was great. I would recommend to visit here and experience it. But prefer to visit only after sunset.

We booked this tour and we had Alex as our driver. He took good care of us by being mindful and careful in driving. He also gave us recommendations for the whole trip. It was a good value for money. I am a Klook user for many years and one can never go wrong booking through them.

very convenient to redeem the ticket by checking it out at the assembling point. the staff gave us drinks and candles 水燈. after that, we were instructed to line up and follow another staff to go nearby the river. Then, we took on a boat and wore a life jacket. the boat took around 20 minutes I guess (didn’t count it). beautiful view and special experience:) cool

Took a boat ride along the Hoi An River (Thu Bồn River area) and overall it’s a simple but very atmospheric experience, especially in the evening when the lanterns reflect on the water. Try to locate the area to exchange for your tickets through the page itself. There will be huge crowds, and it could be quite hard. The ride itself is short (usually around 15–30 minutes depending on the route), but the highlight is releasing floating lanterns on the river, which creates a very photogenic and peaceful moment. Our boatman helped us to take amazing photos which were so dreamy!

Releasing the lantern was a beautiful moment and made the experience feel special. The boat operator was friendly and even helped take photos for us. The night views of the old town and all the glowing lanterns around the river were stunning. Booking through Klook was very convenient and the meeting point was easy to find. There might be a long queue during weekend but nevertheless if you’re visiting Hoi An, this is definitely a must-try activity for the atmosphere and photos! ✨🏮🚣‍♂️ (Tip: Go after sunset so you can fully enjoy the lanterns lighting up the river.)
