Our evening river boat tour in Hoi An was absolutely magical and easily the highlight of our trip. As the sun began to set, the entire ancient town lit up with hundreds of vibrant, glowing lanterns, reflecting beautifully across the water. The boat itself was traditional, clean, and incredibly peaceful as it glided down the Thu Bon River, away from the bustling crowds on the shore. Our guide was exceptionally warm and welcoming, sharing fascinating stories about the town’s history while ensuring everyone was comfortable and relaxed. The most unforgettable moment came at the end of the tour whe

This tour was absolutely phenomenal. The experience in the spinning coconut boats was unreal and the service was fantastic. Our host Man brought us into the lantern boats afterwards where we could take in the incredible view of the evening sky and the endless lanterns. We got to light small candles of our own and place them in the water which was a beautiful experience. I would do this tour again as soon as I could. We were given complimentary snacks and local tea which I didn't expect! The people in our boats were so welcoming and fun. They spun us at a great speed and we got the chance to fi

We had an incredible 3-hour experience today! The trip was perfectly organized from start to finish. The coconut boat ride was a lot of fun, and releasing the lantern on the river as the sun went down was truly magical and romantic. To top it all off, the Hoi An Banh Mi we had was absolutely delicious—the perfect local treat to end the day. Our English-speaking guide was super friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had the best time. If you are visiting Hoi An, don't hesitate to book this activity. 10/10!

I had a wonderful experience with this Vietnam tour package. Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and the inclusions exceeded my expectations. The free transportation made the trip hassle-free, while the complimentary meals and snacks kept us comfortable throughout the day. I also loved the free coconut boat ride and the lantern boat ride, and releasing a lantern on the water was such a beautiful and memorable experience. What made the tour even more enjoyable was our tour guide, who was incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating. They made sure everyone was comfortable, answe

Had an unreal day on this tour. It was great craic from start to finish. The spinning basket boats were brilliant fun, and the traditional boat ride along the Thu Bồn River was a nice way to relax afterwards. Our guide, Man, was an absolute legend. He was really friendly, had a great sense of humour, and told us loads about the history and local culture without it ever feeling boring. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed showing people around, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting. We all had a great laugh and it’s easily been one o

Had the best time ever doing coconut boats with the best guide Man! Catching crabs with the locals was so fun 🙂. The lantern boats at night are so scenic and would 100 percent recommend, me and my friends had a blast doing it! We were giving a taste of the local cuisine which tastes unreal, we also tried the local tea which tastes fantastic. Would definitely reccomend to anyone who wants anything fun to do at night!
