A short Hoai River night boat ride in Hoi An. Float a paper lantern, enjoy lantern-lit views, and keep it simple and easy.
“super easy to meet at the pick up point. good to note it's only 3 people per boat. so if you have a bigger group you will be split. this saves you haggling with boat drivers or paying an inflated price, however you could definitely just show up on the day without booking as well.”
