What To Expect
Hoi An Ancient Town
Immerse yourself in Hoi An's spiritual side with this boat ride on the peaceful Thu Bon River. Take part in a local ritual as you release a flower-shaped lantern, adding a touch of light to the tranquil night. Be greeted by your host at a centrally-located point in Hoi An's Old Town. Follow your host to banks of the Thu Bon River and hop aboard a wooden boat. Glide onto the water watching as the ripping waters reflect the illuminated shores. Lite your flower lantern and say a prayer for luck and peace, that is meant to bring good health and fortune to you and your loved ones. Feel lighter as your lantern removes your worries and carries them away; leaving only hope behind. Release your lantern and watch as it becomes part of a stream of liquid light. Soak up the beauty of the city at night as you return to the shore and end your spiritual experience.

4.00Worked well, with great communication. Met at the meeting point, and taken straight to the boat, skipping in front of those queuing. However the boat guy was coughing and sneezing for the whole trip. We moved to face the opposite way.
