9.South Hoi An River Safari With Candle-lit Beach Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 4 reviews · from $106

Review the South Hoi An River Safari, wildlife park, cultural shows, and candle-lit beach dinner, with honest advice on value and timing.

“There was no mention when booking that the tour was of an amusement park. The river safari was actually 15 minutes around a large pond where there were animals. The description of this tour is nothing like what it says so don’t waste your money. We didn’t even stay for the light display on river because we had been walking round the amusement park for hours at this point. We went to the said beachside cabana. We did not see the sunset because of the time of year, this should be made clear in the description. Neither did we get a beachside cabana, it was a table in a restaurant…”
