Top 4 Hoi An Garden Tours

1.Hoi An Lantern Boat Ride on the Thu Bon River

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 169 reviews · 20 min · from $8Our pick

Meet your English-speaking greeter at the Kazimierz Kwiatkowski bust near 140 Tran Phu Street. Walk five minutes to the river, board a wooden boat for a 15-minute ride, and release one flower lantern with a wish. Expect lovely night views, small boats, and peak-time queues.

“The booking team were excellent, clear, flexible, and professional. Sadly, the actual boat ride was ruined by the operator, who was loud, rude, and aggressive. He screeched at us, made a huge fuss over nothing, took our phone to “help” with photos but deliberately took blurry, creepy shots, then shooed us away when we said thank you. Left us feeling gross and upset instead of magical, avoid.”

“Loved the ride. The family is very nice. He personally came and received me and took me to his boarding point. The Coconut drivers are very, very nice and we in-fact tipped them because it was such a beautiful experience. The location is very very convenient and I had a very old grandmother with me but they helped her get on the experience. It is must try.”
