Full description
This is a 15-minute experience in Hoi An. It is run by Da Nang Happy Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.
The price covers 15 minutes Boat Trip and 1 floating lantern per person. It does not cover Other expenses not mentioned above, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Da Nang Happy Tour sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Da Nang Happy Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
Includes
- 15 minutes Boat Trip

Easy directions to meet the lady who took us to the boat. Happy times
Very relaxing and fun. Our guide was very lovely. It was so nice to see everything from a different view point. All around it was a great memorable experience.
Fare il giro in barca è magico, gentilissimo il barcaiolo, il motivo del voto è solo dell’organizzazione, è una cosa che si può fare anche senza, si va lì e si fa la fila, qui si paga di più, ti fanno aspettare ad un posto che decidono loro e poi ti fanno fare la stessa fila che faresti da solo! L’esperienza è assolutamente da fare!
Our guide, Linh was very informative & engaging. Only gave middle rating for some as unclear how far transport was to entrance & booking fee. Was that to book tour guide? Tickets separate price & only cash. Amazing history
Despite it is VERY very touristy it is kinda charming and I liked it very much ! Why I put 1 star for “non waiting” because we were waiting ! And quite long ! There is a cue and doesnt matter what they write here you will wait. They only coordinate the activity. We also didnt have any guide. The girl brough us to boat and then we were only with a driver who doesnt speak English at all. But as I told despite all of this we liked it a lot.
The boat trip is short and sweet. You ride for about 10-15 minutes, and get to release a lantern into the river. Its not worth booking this for multiple people because you can book one boat for a group at 150000 VND (around $6). This app charges you an extra $8 for each additional person, even though its all on one boat.
La guida che ci aspettava al punto d’incontro è stata molto gentile, al fiume invece chi ci ha portato a fare il giro non è stato molto carino anzi non si era neanche reso conto che non avevamo acceso le lanterne e si è anche un po infastidito quando gli abbiamo ricordato che dovevamo accenderle… tutto sommato carino come scenario ma non mi ha entusiasmato
夕方6時に集合で、迎えに来て頂きすぐに乗れました。短いというコメントもありましたが、私達の時は、夫婦2人だけで乗船させて頂き、たっぷり20分以上は乗せてもらいました。 ただ、灯籠を流すタイミングが早すぎて、風情はなかったかな？
船頭さんが歌を歌ってくださったり、写真を撮ってくださったりサービス満点💯です。
Esperienza magica! Consigliatissima!
