Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. A mobile ticket is accepted — simply show your booking confirmation on your phone when you arrive at 153 Trần Phú.
What is the latest I can arrive?
Last admission is at 21:00. Arriving a few minutes before your slot is recommended so you don't miss your boat.
How many people fit on one boat?
Each traditional wooden boat accommodates a maximum of three passengers. Children count towards that total.
Is this experience wheelchair-accessible?
Unfortunately not. Boarding a traditional wooden river boat requires a degree of mobility, and this activity is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Is the lantern included, or do I need to buy one separately?
The supplier data confirms a lantern experience is part of the activity; however, if you have any questions about exactly what is provided on the day, we recommend confirming with the operator at the meeting point.
Can I book for a group larger than three people?
Because each boat holds a maximum of three passengers, larger groups will need to book multiple boats. You can do this by making separate bookings.
