We had a fantastic cruise to see the Dragon Bridge. The Captain stopped the boat directly in front of the head of the dragon and we had a ring side seat for the flames to shoot from the dragons mouth. The entertainment onboard was beautiful and my wife and I enjoyed the night immensely. Highly recommend this cruise to all.

Slightly disappointed

Eric_N, Apr 2025
Maybe we were unlucky will never know the answer our trip was cancelled the previous Saturday something about a festival 🤷‍♂️ we rebooked for following Friday only to be told 6 hours before that the dragon display was cancelled to morn some famous person then to cap it all it left the harbour 30 minutes late On the pluss side it had a large upper deck and staff worked hard to serve you

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Eric, Many thanks for your kind feedbacks to us. Recently in Da Nang, there were some festival with Fireworks Competition then every Saturday we have stop running to serve Fireworks Package then there were some funerals of our leaders then Dragon Bridge also stop the show. That is our of our expectation even our team has worked so hard to our serve our guests as your feedbacks. We sincerly do appology for inconvient to you. Kind regards, Hung Le

I am unable to review...

Phil_C, Mar 2025
I am unable to review this tour as it was cancelled due to inclement weather. On my next time here I will book it again and amend this review accordingly

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Phil, Because of our safety policy from local goverment that it does not allow any cruise to run because of the bad weather with strong wind just for safety reason that is out of our control as our honesty. So we hope you sympathize with our situation since we made the full refund to you. Many thanks for your kind understanding. Kind regards, Hung Le

Danang dragon boat cruise

Stephanie_B, Feb 2025
Unorganised, says there is a show. - one lady singing one song, who we could not see from a seating point of view. Serving alcohol, but No white wine at all.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Stepha, Many thanks for your kind feedbacks, we will learn about your feedbacks then we will improve our service much better. Actually, as the policy that the show takes for you 15 minutes in front of the Cruise just for safety reason not take longer because the Cruise only takes a 60 minutes riding on the river. We will provide more white wine on the cruise for our guests soon as your suggestion. Many thanks, Hung Le

Pleasant evening

Philip_C, Aug 2024
The trip started late by about 25 minutes. The intention was to see the golden bridge dragon breathing fire which we did and had a good view. Sadly the boat returned to the jetty without waiting to see the firework display which was a shame and I think there was time to have waited. Overall not bad value for money.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Philip, Many thanks for taking time to share your experience with us on TripAdvisor. We do applogy for spending more time on the river for our guests to see the fireworks as you expect. Since our cruise has to follow up the set up time from the local authority for riding on the river, we can not ride over time due to the traffic on the river.Because our cruise/yatch mainly serve our guests to see Dragon Bridge's fire and water show at friday and weekend, not serve our guests to see fireworks little bit late. We hope you can sympathize with us. Many thanks and regrds, Hung Le

Not recommended

Kirsten_S, Jun 2024
Cruise was supposed to start at 8pm so we hab to be at the meeting point at 7.30pm. Once on board we were shown the menu for drinks where you had the choice of one included beverage like water or a soft drink. Other drinks could be purchased on board for reasonable prices. The cruise actually started around 8.50pm. so we've been on board for about an hour. Cause the crew was still managing to fill up the boat with passengers. When it started raining everyone was getting downstairs cause on the upper deck was no rain cover. So it got a little crowded and cramped down there. We made it just in time to see the dragon bridge show. The cruise itself was quite boring. The were some building giving a led show on their facade but that's all there to see. The trip lasted about 45min. All in all definitively not worth 13$. I recommend just going to the dragon bridge or a near by pier to enjoy the dragon bridge show. Saves you money and waiting time.

Worst cruise

LaiKhum_L, Apr 2024
Not to be recommended. Time not puctual for cruising. No snack as mentioned got. Service not good. Boarding not very good as stated. Performance not enough

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Laikhu, Firstly, we would like do appology for boarding for late 10 minutes because we had to wait for another guests coming late due to the traffic and they contacted to us in advance because we did not want there missing their cruising. As stated your ticket included with cold local beer not snack. Since the cruise covering with 250 guests for one hours riding and we can not standby to serve you all the time as you expect like in the bar. Finally, kindly note that our cost is 13 usd for one hour cruise on the river coming with 1 item of local beer, like what you drunk at any bar in Da Nang city but you would like to have the best service that is quite hard because the cost coming with its experience. You may see other guests reviewed us for what they would like to experience that is easy for your to understand. Any way, we take your lesson and we will try improve the service as we can. Many thanks, Hung Le

Fit for purpose.

Terry_D, Mar 2024
After reading the negative reviews I was hesitant to book but we just wanted to see the dragon bridge performance and for the cost I thought how bad could it be for an hour. Well it was perfect, because at was good, view was good, service was good and staff polite but busy. Read the reviews again and I think those people bought the ticket for a river cruise. For the cost and what we wanted it was great, want a scenic river cruise pay an appropriate fee.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear Terry, Many thanks for your heartful feedbacks.I agree with you all that if you would like to have a chill local beer with a hour on the tradictional cruise for riding along the river with great view to the city for resting after the long day just with cost of 13 usd that you may do find at any cruise on the world like us. But from this cost, but our travellers would like to have the high class level of service and well take care that is very hard since the cruise is big with 3 levels covering with 250 guests for one time of riding. We just offer good experience with satisfied cost since we think twice about our customers. We hope to see you soon in the future. Kind regards, Hung Le

Fun 1st Night Experience in Da Nang

SandraYoung, Mar 2024
Every site discussing things to see in Da Nang mention the bridges at night. This tour has them all. The boats are brightly lit up and fun to look at. The bridges are lit up and interesting architecture. The music on the boat was a fun mixture of 80s movies music and Vietnamese music and technopop. There was an included drink in the cost and you could buy more if you wanted. The 1 1/2 hour cruise was definitely worth the small cost and fun!

Aborted cruise

Ed_T, Mar 2024
Left before disembarking. Totally disappointed, they had assigned seating and we didn’t like our location even though we were one of the first on the boat. Staff was not friendly, but this could have been a language issue. We definitely were not happy. Pass on the cruise and just walk across the dragon bridge for a great view of the fire-breathing dragon.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Ed, Many thanks for your feedback and it seems that you expext more than what you paid for the cost of 13 usd for 1 hour on our Tradictional Cruise riding with 1 cold local beer.Actually this cost is same 1 cold local beer at the finest restaurant in Da Nang already but not a Cruise Tour like us. We will improve our service much better that is we learned from you. Many thanks, Hung Le

Brilliant and beautiful

Frances_M, Aug 2023
Loved the light beer and the mellow boat trip and of course the phenomenal dragon what more can I say ,............,..

Could be better

Jo_D, Aug 2023
The dragon bridge Cruise was boring we were not allowed to sit upstairs as people had booked up there for dinner which wasn’t clear on application for cruise

Don't bother

Emily_K, Jul 2023
This was a bit of a mess. Told to dock the boat at 7:45 for a 8pm departure. We sat in the port until 8:30 (for a 9pm fire show). I was sat at a small single table with an older couple. An attendant served them and not me, and when I followed up later about my free drink, she tried to charge me for it. The traditional dance was performed while people were still being seated and we hadn't left the port yet. The river is OVERLOADED with similar boats trying to get a view of the Dragon Bridge, so it's a race to get a good spot which we obviously didn't get. The show only goes for a few minutes so sitting on the boat for 90 mins didn't feel worth it. Only good thing was chatting to other guests on the boat. This would have been a better experience waiting on the bridge underneath the dragon head instead. This is just a tourist scam, don't waste your money, no matter how cheap the ticket is.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Emily, Many thanks for your kind feedbacks and we understand your feelings and at that time. Actually our Cruise with 3 floors shaping Vietnamese Tradictional Bamboo for serving 250 guests at the same time,it is big indeed. Sorry for keeping you waiting for 20 minutes because we have to wait for some group of guests coming to our Cruise since we do not want they miss the Cruise for Dragon Bridge's Fire Show at the weekend. As you know there are some other cruise also on the river so these cruises may view the Dragon Bridge's Fire and Water Show before us. As you said that our Cruise is low cost just 13 usd for 90 minutes on the Cruise coming with tasty local beer and Dragon Bridge's Show that you can not find any similar cost around this world for your better experience.So we hope you understand the price is worth for the experience that you had,not lower than you expect with this price. Certainly, after your feedbacks we we will try best to fix our service for better for another customers coming with us. Thank you very much for your kind understanding. Many thanks, Hung Le

Racist - AVOID

Shivan_V, May 2023
Racist Awful People. When I get on the boat the staff start discussing vigorously then tell me there's no space for me and put me behind the bar with people who are running around working. I then see they giving white people actual seats. I argue and suddenly no one knows anything. As I'm trying to find an actual seat the staff keep telling me "not for you" but then sit white people who arrive. Then they proceeded to ignore me when I wanted a drink. No amount of waving or calling got them away from the whites. Absolutely disgusting!

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Shivan, I understand your feelings at that time and thank you your feedbacks,we will take a serious investigation to prevent any mistakes in the future with the team. Sincerely, Hung Le

Da Nang dragon bridge cruise

SHERYL_P, Apr 2023
Very disorganised boarding. We had top deck access but it was raining and they hadn't pulled the covers over. They made us sit in the bottom level of the boat which was really crowded. They didn't seem to understand the viator ticket. As had to do google translate to get the beer. The traditional dance was one lady, not in costume and pretty average and basic steps. We went on top deck layer and found They had pulled covers over and it was packed. Had difficulty fi ding somewhere to stand. Only would recommend to do because of price and to see dragon fire on weekend

Lovely evening ...

Brian_W, Apr 2023
Lovely evening Nice staff Good atmosphere No commenter so not good for anyone wanting information Smaller boats get alot closer to dragon

Disappointed

Sean_P, Feb 2023
Too noisy, too far from dragon. My coctails were only 3/4 full, was supposed to start at 8, never left dock till 830

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear our values guests, We are sorry to know that you did not enjoy the trip with us. Some times,we have to wait for another guests because we want them not missing the trip with us but not much time. Cocktail that you would like to have is always 3/4 is our standard if 4/4 making over the glass when we move on the cruise. Our cruise has to stop far from Dragon bridge when it has a show that is for safe since our cruise is big. All in all, we hope you sympathize with our explainations. Many thanks, Hung Le Travel

Disappointing

Danny V, Jun 2019
Moved about 2 km up and down the river, a few minutes of the Dragon breathing, poor seating, terrible food. One of the least interesting city cruises I have ever done. Rather watch the Dragon Bridge from the street - even then it is hugely underwhelming.

集合場所情報に注意

Eriko_O, Jul 2024
ツアーそのものは楽しめました。ただ乗船場所が変更されているのに、こちらで示された住所や地図は昔のまま。行ってから現地の人に聞いて、急いでタクシーで移動し、乗ることができました。ノボテルホテル近くの乗船場が新しい乗り場です。

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Mr/Ms.Eriko, Many thanks for taking time to share your experience with us. We understand that we need to improve many things to bring the best experience for our customers. We always hope to have another chances to serve you back with us. Have a nice day and kind regards, Hung Le
