Night Boat Trip and with Release Lantern on Hoi An River

The highlight of the evening in Hoi An is a peaceful lantern boat ride on the Thu Bon River.

Hundreds of flickering lanterns float alongside yours, creating a dreamlike scene reflected in the stillness of the river.

    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. 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.
