A fabulous time making lanterns

Excellent activity Learning how to make these beautiful lanterns. Thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family particularly our 4 year old who keeps telling us how good she was at making them. (With a little help from the guides) thanks so much

Perfect couple of hours spent here!

Unsure what to expect, we booked late afternoon to avoid the heat. Height of summer this was still a good idea but it’s a proper build g and they have BIG fans blowing so it’s not too uncomfortable. Family run business of brothers and sisters, very well organised with lots of help from the family. My boys loved it (9 & 4), and we really had fun too. The family all speak such good English, and very friendly. I’m looking forward to hanging our very professional looking lanterns when we return home!

Do this lantern making class!

Amazing family owned business that we wouldnt have found if hotel didn’t recommend it. Dost need to book a made a later. Each and brought one do we have 3 to take home. The instructions were clear and lots of wonderful staff to help tidy up and give next steps. Hands down best activity we have done so far and get a souvenir out of it as well!

Best Experience - Must Do

Honestly one of the most lovely experiences in Hoi An. The family who run it are absolutely lovely, fun and energetic and made the whole experience so fun. The location is great, right in the old town and the building itself is absolutely full of lanterns. The music was happy and fun, would highly recommend this!

Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.

How much does Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns cost?

+

Prices start at $11 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hoi An usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns take?

+

Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hoi An is not rushed.

Is Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 208 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hoi An, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns?

+

Around 73 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hoi An can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hoi An and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Express Hoi An Lantern Making Class-Foldable lanterns start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hoi An within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Hoi An?

+

On Outty we rank every Hoi An experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include HOI AN Hidden Gems in Rural Villages & River Islands PRIVATE TOUR, Coconut Jungle Eco & Hoi An City Tour With Boat Ride, Cooking Class Hoi An:Local Market, Basket Boat, Fishing & Cooking. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Hoi An?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Hoi An?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
