A Night of Wishes: The Ultimate Guide to Hoi An's Lantern Boats

๐ŸŒŠ Hoi An Lantern Boat Guide ๐Ÿ“ Location & Boarding Areas โ€ข You can board the lantern boats on the **Hoai River**, which flows through the heart of Hoi An Old Town. The main boarding areas are near Bach Dang Street and Chu Van An Street. โ€ข The area near An Hoi Bridge has the highest concentration of lantern boats, making it easy to access by lining up here. โธป โฐ Operating Hours & Fees โ€ข Operating Hours: Generally from 4:00 PM to 9:30 PM. The view of the lanterns at sunset and nighttime is especially stunning. โ€ข Fees: โ€ข 1โ€“3 people: Approximately 150,000 VND per boat โ€ข 4โ€“5 people: Approximately 200,000 VND per boat โ€ข Including flower lanterns: 350,000 VND for 40 minutes (up to 6 people) โ€ข Ride Duration: Around 20 minutes, perfect for enjoying the sunset and lantern lights. โธป ๐ŸŽˆ Activities & Features of the Lanterns โ€ข Flower Lanterns: These are paper lanterns with small candles inside, sold for 5,000โ€“10,000 VND. Their handmade charm is captivating. โ€ข On the boat, you can light the lanterns, write your wishes, and release them onto the riverโ€”a serene and healing experience, perfect for photos. โ€ข Traditional wooden boats gently glide across the river, immersing you in the tranquil scenery of Hoi An's glowing lanterns and peaceful ambiance. โธป ๐ŸŒŸ Recommended Tips โ€ข Visit during the dry season (Marchโ€“September) for clear night skies and the best lantern views. โ€ข The area gets crowded from 4โ€“5 PM, especially around the full moon and Saturdays when the streets are illuminated with traditional lanterns for a festive atmosphere. โ€ข For a quieter experience, start your ride between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM. โธป โœ… Key Tips โ€ข Board the boat at sunset to enjoy the beautiful lantern lights. โ€ข Purchase flower lanterns beforehand to enhance the experienceโ€”releasing them into the river adds a magical touch. โ€ข The basic 20-minute course is ideal, but you can plan a full itinerary with a riverside walk, boat ride, and lantern release. โ€ข This affordable and culturally rich activity is perfect for creating romantic photos and unforgettable memories.
