Great lantern experience in Hoi An

We were collected from our hotel and brought to the lantern making venue. We were given clear instructions and help when needed and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Great choice of fabrics. We then made paper lanterns for the river and we were brought to the boat and had a lovely experience setting off our lanterns. The hosts were very helpful and friendly people. We would highly recommend.

Fun activity combined with boat ride

What a fun afternoon! I’m really glad my daughter found this activity. We were able to make our own beautiful lanterns as well as a couple paper lanterns which we released on the river during our boat ride. We’ve had a busy few weeks of traveling, so this was a lovely way to spend a couple quiet hours together on our last day in Vietnam. The boat ride was about 20 minutes, but it was a magical time. Thank you, Ms. Le, for helping us make wonderful memories together!

Great class and boat...

Great class and boat trip. Make sure that your return trip is arranged as traffic is heavy, roads closed and transport can be a long wait.
