Hoi An City Tour: Boat Ride & Lantenn Release

A magical journey through the heart of this lantern-filled town. Discover yourself in cultural gems, meaner through picturesque lanes, and embrace the serene beauty of a lantern-lit boat ride.
Our guide will meet you at the meeting point in Hoi An to start exploring the beautiful lantern town of Hoi An.

Firstly, you’ll visit Hoi An Market, which is always bustling and offers an unmissable experience for locals. This market is full of sights, colors, sounds, and smells.

Then, our tour guide will buy UNESCO entrance tickets (included in the price) and start walking to the Phuc Kien Chinese Assembly Hall—a colorful mélange of bright gates, dragon statues, and elaborate rooftops. Get an introduction to ancestor worship while visiting the family altar and watching local devotees making offerings. You will see remarkably well-preserved old houses like Tan Ky Ancient House, which have withstood 200 years of weather and war. Learn about the prosperous merchants who used to live in these homes, trading with buyers from all around the world.

Make a stop at the Japanese Bridge. The bridge spans a small waterway and was constructed more than 400 years ago to connect the Japanese community with the Chinese who lived on the other side of the water. Admire the carvings and paintings inside the bridge, learning about their symbolism and cultural significance.

Discover smaller laneways and local neighborhoods, gaining a better appreciation of Hoi An’s endless charm. Then when we reach the river, embark on a boat ride and drop flower lanterns to wishings for you and your family. You will immerse yourself in the fanciful space of the lantern street.

Finally, enjoy free time at your leisure or savor amazing food at our recommended restaurants.
