The Thu Bon River flows through Hoi An and past Cam Thanh village, and is the setting for the town's lantern boat rides, basket boat tours, and kayak trips. The river itself is free to visit and walk along; guided boat experiences on the water cost from around 170,000 VND per boat for a 30–45 minute lantern ride. The listing at this address (Huynh Phuc Khanh, near the old bridge) is a departure point for local boat operators. The Thu Bon is wider and calmer than the Hoai River that runs through the old town, making it better suited to longer kayak trips.
