“this was definitely a must do while you’re traveling in Vietnam! our guide was really knowledgeable, and conveyed so much information from each of our dishes for lunch, to local life and history. our favorite activity was kayaking through the caves. Lunch was absolutely magnificent with a variety of delicious options. When we stopped in the middle of the ocean to swim, you had the choice to go out to a nearby beach. Biking through Viet Hai was an incredible experience, you have the option to take a car back or bike. I recommend biking if you’re able to, although there are a couple of steep hills up and down.…”

Wailua River Kayak and Sacred Falls Guided Hike with Lunch

10.Wailua River Kayak and Sacred Falls Guided Hike with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 783 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $155

Paddle a tandem kayak upstream on Kauai’s gentle Wailua River, then follow a state-certified guide through rainforest to Uluwehi Falls. The roughly 1.25-mile hike crosses mud, rocks, roots, and shallow water before lunch and a possible swim at the falls. Guides such as Annie, Harrison, Lindsey, and Anya are known for lively commentary and careful pacing.

“Beautiful 3 mile relaxing River Kayak through Wailua River. Then a 1 mile hike through the rain forest and ended at a magnificent waterfall where we found a boulder to sit on and had lunch. Best time to go is before the rainy season as its very muddy and slick walking on planks and literally traversing boulders, waste deep river and shallow tree roots. Walking stick a must and I suggest gripping type shoes like boat shoes. Its kinda like the infamous road to Hana, you gotta try it at least once, you will not regret it.”

14.Day Tour Ang Thong with Kayak, Snorkel & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 729 reviews · 8 hours · from $82

Spend a full day in Ang Thong National Marine Park with guides such as David, Diamond, or Sky.

The tour suits active visitors, but the final hike is steep and the speedboat can be rough.

“This was amazing! I would highly recommend this tour. Everything went smoothly and the guides were very knowledgeable. I noticed other tours would kayak at emerald lake - meaning they had to choose to hike to the viewpoint OR kayak. On this tour - kayaking was after emerald lake so that you were able to do both. Also, where this tour goes kayaking is MUCH less crowded, on a bigger beach, and made much more sense. The lunch was very tasty. I would 100% do this tour again”
