A DAY TO LOOK FORWARD TO

Here’s how it unfolds.

  2. Create your own foldable lantern to carry home as a souvenir.
  3. Explore the coconut forest by basket boat, with crab fishing and a spinning boat demonstration.
  4. Enjoy lunch or dinner at Long’s Family before returning to your hotel.

All the lovely details.

What’s included

Hội An hotel pickup and drop-off, English-speaking guide, lantern workshop and your handmade lantern, basket boat, entrance tickets, life jacket, drinking water, and a family meal.

Before you book

Morning: 8:30 AM–1:00 PM. Afternoon: 2:00–6:30 PM. The meal is hosted by our family; this is a lantern-making experience rather than a hands-on cooking class.

A little closer to local life.

Our family’s experiences bring together the people, food and green spaces around Hội An. Time in Cam Thanh’s coconut forest is part of that connection: a chance to explore the waterways and meet the people who work here.

Tell us what matters to your group, from dietary preferences to a gentler pace. We’ll discuss the details with you before confirming your day.

Good questions. Happy plans.

Can I take my lantern home?

Yes. You make a foldable lantern during the workshop, designed to come home with you as a souvenir. The workshop and your handmade lantern are included.

Is a cooking lesson included?

This itinerary pairs lantern making and a basket boat ride with a family meal. If you want to prepare Vietnamese dishes yourself, choose our hands-on cooking class instead.

Is this a morning or afternoon experience?

Both are listed: 8:30 AM–1:00 PM or 2:00–6:30 PM. Our family confirms availability and hotel pickup when you enquire.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Tell us about vegetarian preferences and any allergies in your enquiry. Our family will discuss suitable meal arrangements before confirming your booking.
