This is more than a conventional SUP tour. In two carefully planned days, guests experience the Nang River, paddle through the vast river cave of Puong, enter Ba Be Lake and camp near Pac Ngoi Village. The program combines downstream paddling, lake swimming, forest trekking and a supported camping experience in one of northern Vietnam’s most beautiful natural areas.

The published package is designed as a full-inclusion program covering transportation, motorboat support, camping, SUP equipment, guiding, drinking water and travel insurance.

Highlights

• Paddle approximately 8 km downstream on the Nang River
• Travel by SUP through the spectacular Puong Cave
• Camp beside Ba Be Lake near Pac Ngoi Village
• Paddle and swim in the clear water of Ba Be Lake
• Trek through forest trails to An Ma Island and visit An Ma Temple

Difficulty Level (5/10): Most people can participate, including children aged around 6 or older if accompanied by parents. Light physical preparation can make the outdoor activities more comfortable. Tours usually last 2 days. For trekking at this level, the trekking time is about 2-3 hours per day with relatively easy terrain. Kayaking and SUP activities at this level involve 2-3 hours of paddling per day in larger water areas or with some current, with plenty of time for photography and rest.

Physical preparation: such as running or kayaking/SUP training, is recommended in the weeks leading up to the trip.
