The air tastes faintly of salt and street food as you step from a white tent onto the dock, hands glowing with neon paint. Guides fit you with a life jacket, hand over a paddle, and the city exhales around you — headlights, neon bars and the warm orange of street lamps reflected in the lagoon. Launching is a quiet shock: the water absorbs sound and throws back the lights, and your LED-lit kayak becomes a comet tracing a slow arc beneath a historic bridge.
