Discovering Hoi An's Charm by Bamboo Basket Boat & Lantern Boat Trip

It was great to experience a truly relaxing and healing jungle exploration on a quiet river, unlike the crazy basket boats where everyone usually gathers to do Gangnam Style. The wish candles were also a special experience because we got to fold them ourselves, write our wishes, and then carry them to the river, instead of just buying them off the street. Our guide was young and energetic, which made it fun. We received a reservation confirmation from "Big Boss," who turned out to be a really young "Big Boss"! I highly recommend this to young Koreans.

It was an experience worth the spend. Bamboo boat is a real deal. There, you can witness how fun, warm, friendly and innovative the community is. They will spin the boat while dancing to the beat. The lantern and boat ride experience is magical. Don't miss this one when you visit Hoi an. Lastly, our tour guide, Vu. Highly recommended. He speaks English, entertaining, fun and capture good photo. He even granted our request on the side which is to try Cao Lao noodles. We will book him again for sure. Thanks Vu

We had an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide was extremely friendly, attentive, and professional, and thanks to her, the entire day became one of our most beautiful memories from Vietnam.

So much fun! The Hoi An Coconut Boat tour yesterday was a lot of fun. Gorgeous views, lots of laughs, and a really warm, welcoming guide. A great little adventure and perfect for photos with loved ones!

This was a lovely tour. Thank you to our guide, Minh for a wonderful experience. The coconut basket boat tour included free snacks and drinks that we brought onto the boat with us, but we had so much fun with our boatman that we forgot to finish the snacks! It ended up raining super heavily during the basket ride, but it was still memorable. Afterwards we were brought to a shop just behind the river in Hoi An Ancient Town to make lanterns and released it after in the boat ride—an insanely beautiful experience.

We had a really fun time on the bamboo basket boat ride! 🌴 The spinning was exciting and the boatman was friendly and entertaining. It’s a bit touristy but still very enjoyable and great for photos. The lantern boat ride in the evening was calm and beautiful. Floating along the river with the colorful lanterns and releasing our own wish lantern felt so magical. 🏮✨

This has been one of the most memorable things I've ever done!! It was amazing. The staff steering the coconut boats were very jolly & added to the exciting entertainment. My friend and I danced a lot. The lanterns were spectacular too. Very beautiful scenery. The tour guide Thuan was really helpful and kept time. He took pictures of us, which was a nice gesture.

It was one of the best experiences! I took a day trip to Hoi An. I arrived in the morning and explored Hoi An on my own. I joined this afternoon tour so it would be easy in terms of moving around. A must try when in Hoi An!

Highly recommend this tour for a fuss-free experience for both the basket boat and lantern boat experience. Came to Hoi An in the morning to explore the shopping streets and only booked the join in tour that starts at 4pm at a convenient pickup point. The guide Nhan was extremely friendly, speaks good english, and takes great pictures. The basket boat ride was pleasant and the rowers were fun and welcoming. The lantern boat experience is also great, where we get to make our own mini lanterns and get on the lantern boat immediately. Nhan was also extremely accomodative during the lantern boat experience. As the sky isnt completely dark when we reached, he provided a choice to shop around first and only get on the lantern boat when its dark to get the full immersive experience or get on it immediately. Highly recommend short and simple tour when visiting Hoi An, and thank you Nhan for the wonderful experience.

Nanh was a great tour guide. He was timely, kind, funny, and knowledgeable. We didn't expect a private car transfer, so everything was super easy and fun. Would definitely recommend, as you get to have the two boat experiences without all the hassle of figuring out who to approavh for tickets and whether or not you're being scammed.
