Lovely experience

Victoria_A, Aug 2026

Lovely experience enjoyed by my family - Tear was incredibly patient with us and her English was excellent. Our little silk lanterns looked pretty decent and it was nice to send off our wishes in the paper lanterns on the river. Thanks to Tear and would recommend!

Fun, gorgeous, must-do 🏮🌊!

My husband & I did this activity together! It was a good experience creating the lanterns. I needed help, and the staff were there to help us! It felt a little rushed sometimes throughout the process. They offered bottled waters for us, no AC, only fans. After we were done making the lanterns and water offering, they helped us with the boat ride. It was included in the package. Have cash for a tip. The boat ride was nice, definitely could’ve been longer. Overall, we enjoyed it and had a good time!

Beautiful and seamless...

Lovely, beautiful experience in Hoi An

Jacqueline_M, May 2026

We had a lovely experience. Highly recommend. Once we had folded our paper lanterns we stops at Chips and Fish restaurant for a quick drink whilst it got darker. We sat up stairs and the view over the river was beautiful. When it was time to go out on the boat and cast our wishes we had a private boat for the four of us. Very lovely experience. Once back on land we took a stroll along the river side and night market then returned to Chips and Fish and enjoyed a lovely dinner. We were very well looked after by Phan

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Wonderful Night Boat Experience in Hoi An

Tran_D, Mar 2026

I had a great experience on the Hoai River boat ride at night. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful with so many lanterns lighting up the river. Even though I traveled alone, I felt very comfortable. The boat driver was extremely friendly and helpful – he even took photos for me and shared interesting stories about the local culture and traditions that have existed for generations. It was a simple but memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hoi An!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful lantern night and felt comfortable traveling solo. It’s great to hear our boat driver made your experience even more special. Hope to welcome you back to Hoi An soon!
