Afterwards, we will paddle our kayaks toward a bustling, authentic local fish market, experiencing the vibrant energy of traditional fishermen returning from their long, arduous night of fishing. Finally, the journey leads us deep into a lush, emerald-green nipa palm mangrove forest, fondly referred to as the region's "Little Amazon".

Itinerary
Hoi An – Cam Thanh – Cua Dai – Hoi An

04:30 – 05:15 Your dedicated guide will pick you up directly from your hotel and comfortably transfer you to our dedicated launch site in Cam Thanh. Upon arrival, our expert guide will provide thorough instructions on basic kayaking techniques and comprehensively brief you on all essential safety regulations.

Once fully equipped and confident, we will begin our paddling journey along the historic Thu Bon River, heading directly towards the Cua Dai estuary. Here, we will pause and float peacefully on the water to catch the very first rays of the new day breaking over the ocean. The next destination on our active morning route is the Duy Hai fish market, located in the Cua Dai area. This is a vibrant, small-scale local market where traditional fishermen gather to briskly trade their fresh seafood after a long night out at sea.

06:30 Following our fascinating market visit, we will sit down to enjoy a well-deserved, authentic local breakfast paired with traditional Vietnamese coffee at a nearby riverside eatery. Take this precious time to observe and appreciate the incredibly peaceful, slow-paced daily life of Hoi An as the town awakens.

We will then paddle towards the final highlight of our journey: the lush nipa palm (water coconut) mangrove forest situated near the estuary. After thoroughly exploring this dense natural canopy, we will gracefully navigate our kayaks back to the original starting point. Our transfer vehicle will be waiting to drive you safely back to your hotel, officially concluding this memorable morning program.
