Paddle a sea kayak at first light through My Tho's mist-draped backwater channels — past stilted fishing huts, lotus ponds and river markets waking up. A rare, athletic perspective on Delta life that few visitors ever experience.
What to expect
Launch from a quiet My Tho riverside landing at 6 am, when the Delta glows gold and the morning mist still clings to the water palms. Your bilingual guide leads you through a two-hour paddle along narrow canal tributaries, pausing at a floating fish farm and a family-run rice noodle workshop where breakfast is served straight from the wok. After kayaking, a short motorboat transfer whisks you back to the main pier with ample time before all-aboard.
Good to know
Suitable for all fitness levels — no prior kayak experience needed. Bring sun protection, a dry bag for valuables, and a change of clothes. Departs 6 am sharp; back at pier by approximately 10 am. Book directly with Vemekong and confirm pier meeting point.
