⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - 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.

Mr. Gave a lot of explanation about nature, ordinary Vietnamese life and the culture of his region. Highly recommended if you like to be active😃

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.

Great tour, great host - We really enjoyed the sunset tour - Long was a great host. We saw parts of the river you'd never normally see, including water buffalo and kingfishers (and no mosquitoes!). Would thoroughly recommend.

My favourite thing I did in Hoi An - This kayaking tour up the river was amazing. We kayaked through the coconut palms next to a collection of friendly dogs. We then continued up the river and watched the sun set as we approached old town. We have kayaked before so this was very enjoyable for us. We really appreciated being picked up and dropped back at our accommodation. This was our favourite thing we did in Hoi An. It was so peaceful on the water. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Hoi An. I am sure it is just as beautiful at sunrise as well.

Wonderful evening - Loved the kayaking through the river and tributaries. Of course, Hoi An is very special with its picturesque lantern presence. Our guide was excellent.

A great highlight - This is a great experience to get a sense of traditional Vietnam while getting bit of exercise while travelling. I enjoy kayaking and found the guide experienced at leading a group of mixed capabilities. He explained the wildlife, what the local fisherman were doing, and took the group along the river to the old Hoi An. Very pleasant outing.
