Highlights
Experience two of Hội An’s most iconic cultural activities in one memorable journey — a fun basket boat ride through the coconut forest and a hands-on lantern-making class, all hosted at the peaceful Phu Lanh Restaurant. Begin your experience with an exciting ride on a traditional Vietnamese basket boat. Cruise through the beautiful coconut forest, learn about local fishing life, watch fun boat spinning performances, and try your hand at rowing the basket boat. This is a unique and entertaining way to explore the famous Bay Mau Coconut Forest. After your boat ride, return to Phu Lanh Restaurant to join a traditional lantern-making workshop. Learn about the history and meaning of Hội An lanterns, choose your favorite colors and patterns, and create your own handmade foldable lantern to take home as a special souvenir. No experience is needed — your friendly instructor will guide you step by step. Relax at the restaurant with optional drinks or local dishes available for purchase.
