A standard 20-minute evening boat ride for 1-3 people on the Thu Bon River in Hoi An costs about 170,000 Vietnamese dong (approximately 7-8 US dollars). This is a classic ritual that allows you to see the city from the water and take stunning panoramic photos of illuminated facades, bridges, and floating lanterns.

The price is usually fixed per boat, not per person, so the trip is cost-effective for a small group. You can bargain, but the discount will be minimal, especially during peak evening hours. The ride can be booked directly on the embankment—there are many boatmen there. We believe this experience is worth the money, despite the abundance of other boats around, because it is from the water that those postcard views of the Japanese Bridge and the line of ancient houses open up.

Tip: For the most beautiful shots, get on the boat right after sunset, when the city lighting turns on. Don't forget to bring a smartphone or camera with good night shooting capabilities.
