Itinerary

Take in the sights and smells of Hoi An by night in this authentic experience. Ride on a boat on the river and take part in a ritual as you release your off lantern into the night sky. When a flower lantern is lit, it will be like a prayer for luck and peace, bring good health and fortune for yourself and your loved ones. The light of the lanterns is the light of hope. Lighted lanterns send prayers and remove all worries. The person who releases the lamp therefore feels at ease. Whether they are adults or children, they are all excited and eager to release the lanterns. The flower lantern dropped on the River drifted to the big sea to give wings to the dream of flying high and far away. After the boat, explore the city's bustling night market. Learn all about the city's the traditional culture and stretch your legs in its picturesque Old Town.

Great Experience!!!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Good ! Great!!! This is a must do activity in Hoi An. Our oarsman was outstanding and made the experience more memorable by taking photos and making an outstanding video of the experience. We were shocked and the high quality of photos and videos which were done to a very high standard. We would highly recommend this activity as a must do when visiting Hoi An.

This was such a unique place. From the day shops that turned into night markets, that turned into a river full of boats with lanterns and street restaurants. Shops for leather and dresses and everything in between it is a must travel destination.

Beautiful must do!
