Quintessential family activity in Hoi An!

Jim_C, Mar 2026

Great quintessential activity in Hoi An. Super friendly owner and staff. We felt very comfortable during the activity. Very fun and relaxing for the whole family. You can choose to paint premade lantern or glue printed fabric to make your lantern. About an hour for activity duration. Highly recommended activity in Hoi An.

Lantern making fun!

My husband and I made lanterns. It was a great experience… much more complicated than I thought but the couple worked with us and helped us make beautiful lamps! They were lovely, the experience was the best part of our Vietnam trip! If you have the chance to do this class, do it!

Interesting time with our own lantern at the end!

A Little confusing at first as three groups in attendance in different languages the main lady welcoming but other staff struggled with English and one was positively aggressive with us maybe a bad day but it put us on edge so difficult to relax and enjoy the experience. Would do it again now we know the process

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Happy New Year! Thank you for your feedback. Because you attended our class during the Lunar New Year holiday, we didn't have enough staff available as they were on holiday. Therefore, we tried our best to serve everyone to ensure they received the best possible service. Next time you return on a regular day, we will provide you with the best service from our professional staff. Wishing you a happy, healthy, and successful New Year!

Do yourself a favour and take this class.

My 17 year old daughter and I did this class and LOVED it. They were so encouraging and passionate. We (and the other people doing the class) thoroughly enjoyed it. A must do. Cannot recommend it highly enough!!!

Hung was an absolute star. I thoroughly enjoyed my lantern making experience. Everything was well organised and friendly. Would definitely recommend this as a way to get the most special souvenir of your time in Hoi An.

Tolle Laternen aber keine Zeit für richtige Anleitung

Manuela_S, Dec 2024

Es hat Spaß gemacht die Laternen zu basteln. Aber es war keine Zeit für eine gute Anleitung, zu viele Leute gleichzeitig. Dennoch haben wir zwei schöne Laternen mit genommen.
