Great tour - learnt loads, beautiful scenery and fun kayak ! - Really enjoyed this tour with Tam - there were only two of us and we had the river to ourselves except for people fishing. Tam gave us loads of information on fishing, local culture and we got the chance to help with the weaving and walk round one of the islands. I bought a small mat too (although there was zero pressure to do so). It was a good distance to work up a sweat but not too far ! Wish I had more time to do some of their other tours.

Best experience in Hoi An! - Kayak on a Thu Bon River was the best experience in Hoi An to me. While exploring the local village, guide Long told us interesting old story of Hoi An and the view of Mangrove forests were amazing! If you looking for some special activity, should definitely try this. Highly recommend👍🏼

Fantastic Tour & Service! - Amazing. Such a fantastic way to explore the beauty of Hoi An & the Thu Bon River. This was the second tour with Hoi A Kayaking, as we did the sunrise tour last summer also. Fantastic service, friendly guides. Quang was our Guide this time and he was wonderfully informative, funny & polite. Absolutely recommend as a must-do whilst in Hoi An, you won’t regret it.

Brilliant tour, amazing scenery - We had a fantastic time on this trip. Lang is an outstanding tour guide - kind, funny and has incredible local knowledge. We really enjoyed our day with him and learnt so much about local life, nature and history. The kayaking was really fun and the scenery is beautiful. On the island we met more friendly and warm people. We had a go at weave making and stopped for some refreshments. Lang gave us lots of information about the trees, animals and fruits. The island was really peaceful and calm.

Brilliant kayak tour/experience - Before booking the trip we spoke to Trang via email who arranged it all for us, We also spoke to him on the day, he helped us with local knowledge, explained his background and how his tours came to Hoi An. During the kayak,Tam as our guide. He was incredibly friendly and helpful. Our hotel was off of the main street but he made his way through the narrow streets to meet us at our hotel. Throughout the trip he shared stories and information on local traditions, really shining a light on the life of a local. Overall a really great trip and would defiantly recommend!
