From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Hoi An Lantern Night Tour
Silk lanterns glow over the river as wish-lights drift by.
As dusk falls, the UNESCO-listed old town of Hoi An switches off its electric lights and glows instead with thousands of silk lanterns, their colours doubling in the Thu Bon River. You wander lane after lane of ochre merchant houses, join the crowd releasing paper wish-lanterns onto the water, and drift beneath the glow on a small wooden river boat. Add a bespoke tailor, a food stall or two and the historic Japanese Covered Bridge, and it is the most romantic evening in central Vietnam. Holiday Vibez builds it around your Da Nang and Ba Na Hills days.

Why Hoi An enchants after dark
By day Hoi An is a charming trading town of yellow walls and tailors; by night it becomes magical, lit entirely by lanterns reflected in the river. The monthly full-moon lantern festival dials this up further, but any evening delivers the glow, the boats and the wish-lanterns.
How to reach Hoi An
Hoi An sits about 45 minutes south of Da Nang (DAD), the central gateway. India connects to Da Nang via a 1-stop, and your private transfer runs straight to your Hoi An hotel. It pairs naturally with Da Nang's beaches and Ba Na Hills.
Best time to visit
Central Vietnam is driest and most pleasant from February to August. Try to time your stay around a full moon for the town's lantern festival, when even more lights and performances fill the streets.
Tailors & shopping
Hoi An is Vietnam's tailoring capital. Order a suit, dress or traditional ao dai early in your stay and it can be fitted and finished within a day or two, ready to collect before you leave.
Visa help for India
A Vietnam e-Visa is required for Indian travellers and usually takes three to five working days. Holiday Vibez assists with the application, though issuance is decided by the authorities.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
