Overview

  • This experience combines a hands-on lantern making class with a peaceful boat ride on the Hoai River. Travelers create their own lantern with local artisans, then enjoy a calm river journey away from crowded areas, releasing a floating candle in a relaxed and authentic setting. The experience is designed for small groups, allowing personal interaction and a slower, more meaningful way to experience Hoi An.
