Hoi An: Private Lantern Boat Ride & Riverside Lights

Discover Hoi An’s glowing riverside on a 15-min private Hoai River boat ride. Create a floating paper lantern, add your wish, and release it onto the water. The full experience takes around 30 min
Enjoy a different view of Hoi An after dark on a private boat ride along the Hoai River. With colourful lanterns glowing along the waterfront and lights shimmering across the water, this short evening experience brings together riverside scenery, a personal wish, and a floating lantern you help create.

Your experience begins at Hoi An Lanter Boat, where friendly staff welcome you and help you prepare a small floating paper lantern. Follow simple instructions in English, then write a personal wish on paper and place it inside your creation. This is a brief, hands-on activity using a floating lantern designed for release on the river.

Once your lantern is ready, follow a staff member on an approximately five-minute walk to the boat pier. The team will help you find your boat and provide boarding instructions, so you know where to go and what to expect.

Step aboard a private boat reserved for your booking and settle in with your partner, family or friends. Each boat accommodates 2–5 guests, with larger groups using separate boats.

During your 15-minute Hoai River boat ride, take in the illuminated waterfront from the water. See lantern-lit buildings along the banks and watch their colourful reflections ripple as boats pass. The changing light offers lovely opportunities for photographs, whether you are capturing the riverside scenery or a shared moment with your travel companions.

When it is time to release your floating lantern, hold your wish in mind and gently place your creation onto the water. Watch its small glow drift across the river against the lights of Hoi An.

The full experience lasts approximately 30 minutes, including lantern preparation, the walk to the pier, and the 15-minute private boat ride. It fits easily into an evening of exploring Hoi An, with time afterward to enjoy dinner or continue walking through the town.

Staff provide instructions and assistance before boarding; a tour guide does not accompany you on the boat. Your experience ends at the boat pier.
