Escape the daytime heat and experience two of Hoi An’s most iconic river activities in one relaxing evening tour.

Your experience begins with hotel pickup around 4:00PM, when the sunlight starts to soften and the countryside around Hoi An becomes cooler and calmer.

The first stop is the famous Hoi An Coconut Basket Boat experience in Cam Thanh water coconut forest.

Step into a traditional round basket boat and glide slowly through peaceful palm canals. Feel the fresh river breeze on your skin while the sounds of water splashing against the boat create a calm atmosphere away from the busy streets. You will see green coconut palms surrounding the river.

As you move toward the center area of the basket boat ride, feel the energetic atmosphere as local rowers cheer you up with exciting spinning performances accompanied by upbeat music. They also entertain guests with songs from around the world, creating a fun and unforgettable experience surrounded by the peaceful coconut forest.

As the sky slowly changes color from golden afternoon to soft orange dusk, your driver will take you to Hoi An Ancient Town for the second part of the evening.

When night falls, Hoi An transforms

Then comes the highlight of the evening: the Hoi An Lantern Boat Ride.

Step onto a small wooden boat and drift slowly along the river surrounded by hundreds of glowing lanterns floating on the water. Feel the calm movement of the boat beneath your feet while cool evening air replaces the daytime heat. The reflections of colorful lanterns dance across the river surface, creating one of the most romantic scenes in Vietnam.

During the ride, you will release a flower lantern onto the river while making a wish — a quiet and memorable moment shared with family, friends, or someone special.

The lantern boat ride lasts around 20 minutes, giving you enough time to relax, take photos, and fully enjoy the magical atmosphere of Hoi An by night.

After the boat ride, simply meet your driver at the meeting point and enjoy a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.
