Here's what makes the experience unforgettable: An authentic setting. Create inside a traditional Old Quarter building — atmospheric and historic. A true master's guidance. Learn directly from a craftswoman with two decades of expertise, trained in techniques passed down through generations of Hội An lantern-makers. A lantern that's completely yours. Choose your shape, choose your silk, and glue every piece by hand — no two lanterns to come out of this workshop look alike. A souvenir that travels with you. Once it's dry, fold it flat and pack it straight into your luggage — a piece of Hội An that lights up your home long after the trip ends. Spaces are limited, since every guest gets real one-on-one attention from the teacher — this isn't a big-group, assembly-line experience. Book your spot now and bring home more than a souvenir — bring home a story, taught to you by the hands that have kept this tradition alive.

Best lantern shop in Hoi An!
Ms. Pineapple is amazing! Our kids went there and had the best time making lanterns with her. All of her work is so beautiful and she will even make custom lanterns for you!
via Tripadvisor
Such a nice experience!
She was sooo sweet! And we had so much fun! This place is not on the main roads, but that is just what we wanted. Not the super busy, quick lantern making. She really took her time, helped us often! It's such a nice little street also. If you want to make a lantern, I would definitely recommend Ms. Pineapple!!

Easy, relaxing activity for a small group
I went to Pineapple’s Lantern Workshop for a lantern making class with two other people in my tour group. We paid about $15 US each, and it included the materials to make one lantern. It was fun and relaxing and the owner was helpful, fixing the mistakes we made and playing along as we made fun of each other for them. You have the option of four different styles of lanterns, with numerous different fabric patterns. The lantern collapses into a size that can fit into your luggage (though you'll still want to handle it relatively carefully).

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lantern Workshop with Pineapple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hoi An.
How much does Lantern Workshop with Pineapple cost?
+
Prices start at $15 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 Lantern Workshop with Pineapple 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 Lantern Workshop with Pineapple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 Lantern Workshop with Pineapple?
+
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 Lantern Workshop with Pineapple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lantern Workshop with Pineapple?
+
Around 4 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 Lantern Workshop with Pineapple 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 Hai Van Pass Motorbike Private Tour with Mister T Easy Rider, Hoi An Ancient Town Walking Tour with a Local, 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.

Where is the meeting point for Lantern Workshop with Pineapple?
+

What languages is Lantern Workshop with Pineapple offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lantern Workshop with Pineapple?
+
