Discover Hoi An’s traditional wood carving firsthand
Unleash your inner artist with this hands-on wood carving experience in Hoi An!

You’ll work with a team of experienced carvers in a peaceful garden setting—far from the usual crowded tourist routes. This is perfect for travellers who want to immerse in local culture rather than just picking up a souvenir. You'll not only learn the techniques of wood carving but also get to create your own unique piece to take home. Whether you’ve never picked up a chisel before or you’re a seasoned artist, the expert guidance will help you craft something special. The highlight?
