Hoi An : Hoai River Boat Trip by Night and Floating Lantern

1.Hoai River Boat Trip by Night and Floating Lantern

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,988 reviews · 20 min · from $8Our pick

Meet your English-speaking guide at the Kazimierz Kwiatkowski bust on Tran Phu Street. Walk five minutes to the dock, board a private wooden boat for up to five people, and release a paper lantern with help from the rower. Expect a simple 10 to 15 minute ride, not a narrated cruise.

“super easy to meet at the pick up point. good to note it's only 3 people per boat. so if you have a bigger group you will be split. this saves you haggling with boat drivers or paying an inflated price, however you could definitely just show up on the day without booking as well.”

“The entire day was fun and exciting! Michael taught us a small piece of the history and culture of the Champa people on the drive to My Son. Once at the sanctuary, we learned more; brick and building creation, writing, beliefs, and more. Michael kindly, and hilariously offered to take photos so my friend and I weren't left w a bunch of selfies. Even getting stuck for a while in a torrential was fun! We then made our way to the boat and enjoyed fresh bahn mi sandwiches (so good and filling)!”
