Paddling a stand-up paddleboard on the river - seeing the city from a completely different perspective.
Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a relatively new water sport that has quickly become a popular trend among young people in Ho Chi Minh City due to its simplicity, convenience, and enjoyable experience.
SUP paddling will be a memorable experience for those who enjoy outdoor activities.
The advantage of this sport is that players don't need to know how to swim; they only need to master basic paddling techniques to move on the water.
Before starting the trip, your guide will provide you with all the necessary paddling skills, how to handle emergency situations, and protective gear such as life jackets and waterproof bags to ensure your safety.
The combination of physical activity and immersion in nature, along with its simplicity and accessibility, has created a special appeal for SUP paddling, especially during holidays and festivals.
Join a stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) session to relieve stress and learn a new skill.
Currently, SUP paddling groups are expanding in many districts such as District 7, Binh Thanh District, and Thu Duc City, offering young people many exciting experiences. The cost for each paddling session ranges from 300,000 to 400,000 VND per person, including a guide.
