The sea lifts and lowers like a patient breath as the group slides hydraulic-blue kayaks into My Khe’s shallow surf. Guides run a short safety briefing on sand warmed by morning sun, then pair paddlers for a relaxed launch toward a small island off the Son Trà Peninsula. Paddles slice twice, settle—then the shoreline of Da Nang recedes and the reef moves forward, curious and bright.
