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.
