Highlight of our visit to Hoi An - The sunset kayak tour was the highlight of our stay in Hoi An. Tam was a fantastic guide - very knowledgeable and friendly - and we learnt a lot from him about the area, life on the river for the local people and the history of Hoi An. You get to see a completely different side to the area which you miss if not on the river.

Very nice kayak tour! Highly recommend - Very nice kayak tour! Long was a very good guide even taking pictures for us during the tour. It was a nice way to discover the river around Hoi An. So peaceful at moments! The ride is long (8km upstream) but there is several times that the tour takes you to small canals that are very calm and the water is nice.

Great way to see Hoi An! - Our guide Long was super helpful, friendly, attentive and informative. It was an awesome way to experience a different side of Hoi An. We had to paddle 8 km against the current but for 2 women over 50 we found it manageable. Loved the experience. Thank you so much Long!

Unforgettable family experience - This was such a great idea to do as a family. We loved kyaking through the coco palms and seeing the bird life. It was great to view life along the river and have people wave at you. Our guide, Quang, was very knowledgeable and had great English so he could share this knowledge with us. It was an easy paddle in the two person kyaks with a 12y/o and 14y/o. You could easily do this with younger children too. I would highly recommend this activity to see life from a different perspective.

Great local sunset kayak tour. - The tour was amazing, we had a fair amount of rain over night which had the river swollen with water. Our tour guide tam was very good, spoke good English, was knowledgeable with the local area and was very calm and understanding with the experienced kayakers in our group. Tour topped off with a brilliant coconut coffee at a local family restaurant. Would highly recommend. 10/10

Sunset kayak with Quang - We did a kayak tour with Quang, and were lucky enough to have the tour all to ourselves... this tour was the highlight of Hoi An for us! The route is one way, which means it never gets boring, it takes you away from the heavy traffic on the river and through small rivers and past fishing villages, stop on a beach before heading to ancient town for a drink and disembark. It was scorching hot that day in Hoi An, and we were a bit worried but the palms and trees along the river provide plenty of shade, and watching the sunset over ancient town is stunning. Quang was a great guide, great English, knew heaps about the flora and fauna and introduced us to life for those living on the islands, and we all had a great laugh throughout. The kayaks are very stable and there was no problem having our phones out taking photos the whole time, so make sure you bring them! Thanks again Quang
