This is a gentle yet emotionally enriching kayaking journey, suitable for both beginners and experienced kayakers. For over three hours, you'll navigate through the lush Nipa palm forest in Cam Thanh, where water, wind, and trees blend together in a slow-paced rhythm. A special stop is Duy Vinh village, where you'll be welcomed by locals who will share stories about the mat weaving craft that has been passed down through generations.
What you'll get to experience with us
The journey begins after you are instructed on how to paddle, and we start our boat trip through the mangrove forest. Navigating through the lush green nipa palm grove, you feel the cool breeze on your skin, hear the gentle lapping of water against the sides of the boat, and smell the distinctive fresh mud of the riverside countryside. The boat trip takes us to the peaceful village of Duy Vinh, where we have time to stroll, meet friendly villagers, hear the creaking of mat weavers, smell the fragrant aroma of herbal tea, and hear stories of traditional crafts shared by the kind-hearted locals. At the end of the journey, a feeling of relaxation lingers, like a morning truly immersed in the nature and culture of Hoi An.
