Spend three hours kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding on Tuyen Lam Lake with guides such as Viet, Harry, Fin, Hari, Ving, or Zuan. You’ll receive paddling instruction, visit scenic spots near the lake, pause for handmade coffee and cake, and choose an early, morning, or sunset departure.
Spend six hours in Da Lat’s pine forests with an English-speaking guide such as Harry, Vin, or Phat. Trek 8 to 10 kilometers to Pinhatt Peak, eat a lakeside picnic with grilled pork and fresh vegetables, then kayak or paddleboard on Tuyen Lam Lake. Pickup, equipment, permits, water, and lunch are included.
Spend three hours paddling Tuyen Lam Lake by kayak or SUP, with no previous experience needed. Guides such as Harry, Viet, Vin, Fin, Bell, and Jun help with the basics, point out pine forests and nearby sights, take photos, and serve coffee with cake. Choose a sunrise, morning, or sunset departure.
“I Had a really nice and casual time and I got to chat lots with the guides (Finn and Harry) who were lovely and taught me lots about the area and the whole of Vietnam.”
Spend three hours stand-up paddleboarding on the Cai River with an English- or Vietnamese-speaking guide. Tu and Shin are praised for clear instruction and great photos. Expect calm water, rural views, banana farms or rice fields, and sunset when weather cooperates. Pickup from central Nha Trang is available.
“We had Tu for the second time since being here in Nha Trang first being the waterfall and both times he was amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly. His friend who was with us on the tour took amazing photos and stood perfectly still to get the most amazing shots of the view and of us throughout the tour. Absolutely recommend”
Pick a coast, a cave or a river.
