Hoi An Photo Tours

Explore Hoi An through a relaxed, documentary-style photo walk led by a professional photographer based in Vietnam. This experience focuses on everyday life, atmosphere, and the quieter moments that define the city and its surroundings — from early morning river activity and local markets to streets and neighbourhoods waking up for the day. Rather than following a fixed route or chasing staged scenes, each walk is shaped around light, weather, and what’s actually happening on the day. The aim is to experience Hoi An as it really is, at a comfortable pace, while learning how to observe, photograph, and respond to changing conditions. The tour is suitable for all levels, including guests with no photography background. Small group sizes ensure a personal, unhurried experience, with time to explore, pause, and adapt as needed. This is an ideal option for travellers looking for a thoughtful, authentic way to see Hoi An beyond the usual tourist highlights.

A guided photography walk shaped by light, season, and daily life — not a posed photoshoot.

This experience is designed for travellers who want to slow down and observe Hoi An at its most interesting times of day. Walks take place at sunrise or sunset, when light, movement, and atmosphere are at their best.

Routes are not fixed. Locations are chosen based on the season, weather, light, and what you’re interested in seeing. If you have particular areas you’d like to explore, these can be discussed in advance. If not, the walk is guided into quieter, visually engaging areas suited to the conditions on the day.

For those interested, we can also talk about spending time outside the historic centre, exploring nearby neighbourhoods and riverside areas where daily life moves at a slower pace and photography feels more natural and unforced.

This is a photography-focused walk. The emphasis is on observation, light, and place, rather than posing for the camera.

- Up to 3-hour guided photography walk

- Sunrise or sunset timing, depending on preference and season
