The sun leans low over the Cai River and the water takes on a bronze sheen as your group pushes off from a small floating house—paddles dipping in quiet rhythm, guides calling gentle corrections. The river here is slow and wide, sheltered from the bay’s chop, and the ride feels like gliding through a neighborhood of boats, wooden bridges and reed-lined banks.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Standard sunscreens can harm coastal ecosystems—use reef-safe formulas and reapply before the tour if you’ll be on shore earlier.

Launch and landing are shallow and muddy in places; closed water shoes give better traction and protect toes.
Secure electronics in a dry bag
Paddles can slip and boards tip—store phones and cameras in a watertight pouch or dry bag provided or brought along.
Tell the operator about back issues
The tour is low-impact, but guides need to know if you have spinal or serious joint problems to adapt the session.
Closed water shoes
Protect feet on muddy launches and provide traction on wet boards.
