Hue Royal Canal TourHue E-Boat Heritage Voyage | Huong River Cruises

Welcome to the Hue Royal Canal Tour (Ngu Ha – Dong Ba – Huong River), brought to you by Huong River Cruises in partnership with Hue Smile Travel.

The Hue Royal Canal Tour is a groundbreaking eco-conscious tourism offering that introduces a completely fresh perspective of the Hue Imperial Citadel from the water. Operated with smooth, eco-friendly electric boats (E-Boats), this voyage revives the ancient "King’s River" waterways for modern travelers seeking peace, sustainability, and authentic cultural heritage.

For centuries, the Ngu Ha Canal served as the royal arterial waterway protecting and supplying the Nguyen Dynasty Citadel. Today, our fleet of quiet, zero-emission electric boats gently glides through these ancient canals, allowing visitors to experience Hue's rich history without noise or pollution.
