5.00We didn’t know what to expect from Lantern boat Hoi An, but it turned out meaningful. We learned about lantern traditions and made our own. The river was lively with other boats, which added to the atmosphere. I’d happily recommend it.

5.00Lantern boat Hoi An was one of the best evenings of our trip. The lantern-making class was clearly explained and the instructor guided us patiently step by step. The night boat ride was peaceful and the river lights were stunning. It can be a bit busy, so I recommend going slightly earlier. I would definitely tell my friends not to miss this.
