“We had such a great time on this tour! Our guide Harry was very helpful and taught us a lot about the forest on our hike which I appreciated. He was very kind and fun to talk to. The lake was also very beautiful and I enjoyed the hike followed by time to relax in the kayak. Would recommend this trip to nature lovers!”
Choose a kayak or SUP for a three-hour trip across Tuyen Lam Lake. English-speaking guides such as Harry, Fin, Viet, and Bell explain the area, take photos, and adjust the pace for beginners. Sunrise, morning, and sunset departures are available, with coffee and cake on an islet.
