Great Fun & Unique Souvenir

IAIN_S, Oct 2025

Great Fun! Exactly what it says: in a typical 2 hour session you learn to make your own lantern (there is a choice of about 6 shapes) with help - as needed - from a great team of fun, patient people. Apart from shape, there is a very, very large choice of fabrics - so you will be making your own "one off". Finished lanterns can be folded flat for packing into your suitcase to take home. A really unique souvenir. Had a ball! Highly recommend!

A really fun experience,...

A really fun experience, made more enjoyable by the enthusiasm of the family running the business. We made a lantern from scratch and were shown every process to making the lantern and we left with two beautiful collapsible lanterns which we customised. If you are in Hoi An this is a must do experience.

Fabulously fun lantern making

Jacqueline_M, Apr 2023

Great staff who made the activity really enjoyable. They supported us all patiently and calmly. The lanterns are brilliant - high quality resources and fabulous colours. I took 4 teenagers with me and we all loved it. Easily booked through Viator.
