Perfume River Cruise & Visit Thiên Mụ Pagoda

Enjoy a 1.5-hour cruise along Huế’s beautiful Perfume River on a dragon boat, where calm waters, beautiful bridges, and riverside life create a timeless scene. Step ashore to visit the iconic Thiên Mụ Pagoda, an elegant seven-storey landmark overlooking the river. Then return onboard to unwind as the boat takes you back to Toa Kham boat station.

What to Expect

• 35 minutes cruising upstream to Thiên Mụ Pagoda
• 20 minutes exploring the pagoda and grounds
• 35 minutes cruising back to the Toa Kham boat station

Note: Our traditional dragon boats are powered by engines to ensure reliable service throughout the day. While you’ll hear the sound of the motor, it becomes part of the authentic river experience and won’t interfere with enjoying the views or conversation.
