Amazing trip on the kayaks to see the scenery and have authentic Vietnamese food - Amazing views and beautiful scenery. Tam was a great guide, matched our pace and never felt rushed. The food was delicious and a nice insight into life in rural Vietnam. Thank you Tam 🙏

Fishing market and bird tour - Great sunrise tour with Tam to see a traditional fishing village and market plus tour through the mangrove and palms where there are lots of birds to see. A baguette, coffee, green tea, and juice were included for our party.

Sunset fun - Our guide was so friendly, helpful and fun. It was a ling paddle but we thoroughly enjoyed it and the warm coffee at the end was just what we needed. Beautiful views and we got to explore a little island with 'water coconuts'.

A must experience for anyone wanting to see real Vietnam - I had an amazing time with Quan my guide. I only booked the night before and they managed to book me in late notice. It was amazing to head off on the water in the darkness and experience the world coming alive. It was great to see the fish market with no other tourists around and sit and have breakfast like the locals. A must visit for anyone wanting to see authentic Vietnam. Great to hear that the company are trying to clean up the river and educate the local children and the environment. Quan was fluent English so I could ask lots of questions!! Thank you

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Fantastic afternoon!!!! With the rainy season, the river levels were up and I was lucky enough to get a sunny day to kayak the Thu Bon River and it did not disappoint. I ended up on a private tour as it is end of season and rain turns tourists away. Don’t let a little rain ruin a great day paddling people - book the tour!!!
Quan picked me up from my hotel and then customised the tour to my experience meaning we kayaked a longer distance which was epic.
Quan was insightful, helpful and shared cool information about the river, and the communities and people along the river.
Even better, the rainstorm and clouds cleared resulting in a very pretty sunset!
The river is a fun way to see Hoi An and highly recommend this tour any time of year it’s operating.
Only point of awareness which is not a reflection of the tour company at all but awareness is good if not a frequent paddler - river care and trash clean up is really needed in Vietnam. Some pockets of the river are affected significantly more than others. With that said, it is still a unique and valuable experience.

Memorable Experience - Quan happily did most of the rowing, encouraging me to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The peaceful solitude on the water allowed me to fully immerse myself in the serene atmosphere. Thanks Quan for a great experience.
