Cruise to historic temples, incredible pagodas, and majestic imperial tombs along the Perfume River in Hue, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a traditional Dragon Boat. As the sun sinks down, enjoy a dinner of fresh local cuisine while listening to traditional Vietnamese folk songs onboard.
After being picked up from your hotel, head to the Huong boat pier to embark on an arresting boat ride along the Perfume River. As you admire the romantic landscape of Hue—the former imperial capital under the Nguyen dynasty—breathe in the fresh and pure scent of the river. Its fragrance comes from the forests and orchards of aromatic plants that it passes through as it winds towards the city.
As your dragon boat makes its way down the river, stop to visit some of the city’s historic and royal landmarks. Admire the centuries-old architecture of the Hon Chen Temple, gaze up at the towering Thien Mu Pagoda, and wander among the palatial complex of Emperor Minh Mang's tomb.
As the afternoon winds to a close, head back to the boat to take in breathtaking sunset views over the mountains beyond Hue. Dinner is served onboard, so tuck into tasty local cuisine as you listen to traditional folk music performed live—it's a true immersion into the flavours, sights, and sounds of Vietnam. The boat returns to the pier in the late evening for your return ride to your hotel.
