Review Body: We loved Long and his tour. Because of an unusually low tide and strong wind we didn't do the tour wr planned, instead we did a shorter tour that suited the weather better.
We loved Long, he was friendly and took excellent care of my 7yo who he shared a kayak with. I'll be passing on his details to other friends who are visiting soon.

Review Body: A brilliant and unique activity. Our guide, Long, was extremely helpful and provided plenty of information. The kayaking itself was about 5 miles through natural areas and a perfect spot to see the sunset. Would definitely recommend!

See Hoi An from the water on a quiet sunset kayak
If you want to see Hoi An at its prettiest without spending the whole evening in the Old Town crowds, this sunset paddle is a much quieter way in. You’ll kayak about 5 miles from Cam Thanh through cocopalm mangroves and local riverside villages, then arrive at the Ancient Town right as the light turns golden. It’s best for travellers who want a bit of exercise, better photo angles, and a more local side of Hoi An before the lantern town comes into view.
What makes this special is the contrast. Most visitors only see Hoi An from the streets or on short, busy boat rides. Here, you approach the old town from the water, passing calm green waterways, river life, and village scenes first, so the arrival feels more dramatic and less rushed.
The route is simple but varied. You get peaceful stretches through mangroves, open river views at sunset, and then the warm glow of the ancient architecture near the end. Reviews often mention the supportive guiding, good equipment, and how calming the paddle feels even for those just looking for an active, easy afternoon.
