Great time!
Tony (driver) was great! He was very communicative and helpful. Even thought it was hot outside and nowhere had AC, he offered waters and a laugh, so did the individual locations. Our 17 year old daughter enjoyed each activity (lantern making, pottery, lunch and coffee making). Our favorite was the lanterns but Lang(unk spelling) that owns the coffee location (I think she does basket rides too) was extremely nice and had wonderful stories. 💕Thank you to everyone that helped make this tour great!

Pottery/Boat/Coffee morning
We had a lovely half day, starting at 9:00am with pick up from our hotel. From there we went with Tony in a private car to the pottery village, which was really interesting and in a beautiful village. We used the pottery wheel, and tried the blind pottery smashing at the museum. From there, Tony took us to the coconut boat, where we had an hour ride, we got to try the fast boat spinning and we did a bit of fishing for crabs. We finished the morning making Vietnamese coffee, which we will certainly be recreating when we get home, it was really tasty! Tony and his team were friendly and easy to communicate with for the whole experience. I’d really recommend to anyone staying in Hoi An.

Great tour.
Had a lovely time learning about the pottery of Hoi An. Pottery museum is a must see and i had a lovely time on the river catching fish and crabs. To finish off i was taught how to make Vietnamese coffee and had a lovely meal. A very informative way to spend a morning.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours 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 Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 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 Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat?
+
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 Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hoi An Ceramic/Pottery/Lantern Making Class Cafe & Basket Boat 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.
