Evening River Ride & Flower Lantern Release in Hoi An

Experience the magic of Hoi An by night on a traditional wooden boat. Glide along the tranquil Hoi An River, taking in the sights and scents of the old town, and participate in the ritual of releasing your flower lantern into the river. Each lantern represents a prayer for luck, peace, health, and happiness for you and your loved ones.

As the lanterns float gently along the river, they carry away worries and send prayers of hope into the night. Both adults and children are enchanted by the sight of lanterns drifting downstream, symbolizing dreams and aspirations floating far and high.

Know before you go :
+ This is a short experience, not a guided tour or long cruise. The boat ride lasts approximately 10–15 minutes, depending on river traffic.
+ Each wooden boat is private for your group only (1–5 guests) and is not shared with other customers.
+ During peak hours (18:00–19:30), the river area can be crowded. After arriving at the dock, you may need to wait 15–20 minutes before boarding.
+ Local boat rowers do not speak English. This experience focuses on atmosphere and sightseeing rather than narration
