Q&A
1. What is the best time to join this program?

The Red River is an ideal destination for watching the sunset at any time of the year. In spring, the Red River is filled with the scent of straw and the bustling atmosphere of Tet. From April to October is the perfect time for SUP paddling to enjoy the scenic plains, and starting in October, the white reeds will gradually bloom. At this time, you can paddle among the white reeds swaying gently on the calm Red River.

The tour has a difficulty level of 5/10, so even those who have never paddled a SUP before can participate.
