Join us to explore in detail the two traditional dragon boat types waiting to welcome you!
About Traditional Huong River Dragon Boats
Dragon boats have long been an iconic symbol of the ancient capital Hue. Designed in the shape of a dragon – the sacred mythical creature in folk beliefs – these boats are not only beautiful in form but also carry profound spiritual values. Gliding gently on the serene Huong River, dragon boats take visitors on a journey to discover the intangible cultural heritage of the people of Hue.
Today, dragon boat services on the Huong River are divided into two main types, perfectly suited to diverse customer needs:
- Single Dragon Boat (Small Dragon Boat)
- Double Dragon Boat (Large Dragon Boat)
Single Dragon Boat (Small Dragon Boat)
Capacity: Up to 15 passengers
The single dragon boat is the most popular type on the Huong River, featuring a majestic dragon head and tail design. It has a sturdy canopy and flexible glass windows, allowing guests to enjoy the scenery in all weather conditions – protection from sun or rain while maintaining an open view.
The interior is arranged warmly and traditionally with wooden tables and chairs, ideal for small groups seeking privacy and intimacy.
Suitable Tours for Single Dragon Boat
Due to its more limited space, the small dragon boat is best suited for the following tours:
| Tour Type | Max Capacity | Notes |
| Scenic Huong River Cruise | 10 pax | Ideal for families or small friend groups |

Strengths: Cozy, private space, perfect for small groups, flexible scheduling and easy maneuvering.
Double Dragon Boat (Large Dragon Boat)
Capacity: Up to 35 passengers
The double dragon boat, also known as the large dragon boat, is the most common type on the Huong River today. With its spacious size and more luxurious design, it is the flagship vessel for nightly Ca Hue tours – one of Hue’s most iconic and famous tourism products.
The boat is fully equipped with comfortable seating, a small stage area for artists, and ambient lighting that creates a mystical, romantic atmosphere as the lights reflect on the river.
Suitable Tours for Double Dragon Boat
The large dragon boat is the “star” of all river tourism activities in Hue:
