Hoai River Night Boat Ride
Begin your journey as a local rower gently guides the boat along the peaceful Hoai River. Enjoy lantern reflections on the water and release your floating lantern while making a wish for luck and happiness.
Know before you go :
+ This is a short experience, not a guided tour or long cruise. The boat ride lasts approximately 10–15 minutes, depending on river traffic.
+ Each wooden boat is private for your group only (1–5 guests) and is not shared with other customers.
+ During peak hours (18:00–19:30), the river area can be crowded. After arriving at the dock, you may need to wait 15–20 minutes before boarding.
+ Local boat rowers do not speak English. This experience focuses on atmosphere and sightseeing rather than narration
