Paddle between four islands in the An Thoi archipelago, snorkel over coral gardens, then ride the Hon Thom cable car for panoramic views. This private full-day trip pairs easy canoeing with beach time and a cable-car finale.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a quiet sand spit and the sea immediately accepts you: a pale green glass surface that parts under the canoe and snaps back behind the paddle. The guide calls out a direction and islands rise out of the horizon—rocks, scrub, and a final fringe of white sand. Over the day you’ll move between sheltered coves by paddle and lift into the air on the Hon Thom cable car, watching the archipelago shrink into bright tiles of reef.
