Review of Da Lat’s 3-hour kayak and SUP tour on Tuyen Lam Lake, with sunrise, sunset, coffee, pine forests, guides, price, and tips.
“Had a really chill and enjoyable kayak/SUP session in Da Lat with Viet Challenge Tours. The vibe was relaxed from the start, and the scenery on the lake was calm and beautiful—cool air, quiet water, and a great break from the city.”
Trek Pinhatt Peak, enjoy lunch by Tuyen Lam Lake, then kayak or SUP in Da Lat with an English-speaking guide.
“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!”

“We really liked Vin as a guide, he let us explore as we pleased and we had a lovely chat afterwards over coffee - thanks again!”
Paddle the Cai River at sunset near Nha Trang, with mountain views, friendly guides, hotel pickup, and a calm outing for all skill levels.
“We had a really great time — definitely worth the money! The whole experience was fun and enjoyable from start to finish. I’m not a strong swimmer, and my teen doesn’t swim well either, so we were a bit nervous at first. But everything was well-organized and we felt safe the whole time, which really helped us relax and enjoy it. Getting back onto land was a little tricky, as the surface was uneven and broken in places, so just be careful there. One thing to note — don’t worry about valuables, as they are locked away safely. I actually regret not bringing anything with me, as I wanted to…”
Pick a coast, a cave, a river or a tunnel.
