On Hon Son Island, Lai Son commune, Kien Hai district, Kien Giang province, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) has been organized for about two years. Besides sightseeing, enjoying seafood, snorkeling to admire coral reefs, collecting shellfish, and fishing, SUP paddling is a favorite activity for tourists.

It only takes about 5 minutes by boat to reach the SUP paddling spots set up by the locals. Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Loc from Phu Tan district, An Giang province, shared: “This is my first time experiencing SUP paddling; it's a beneficial sport . You can float on the sea with everyone; going in a large group makes the experience even more fun. Next time, near Tet (Lunar New Year), I will come back here again.”

After boarding the boat, tourists are provided with shoes by the guide to protect their feet from underwater rocks and to facilitate movement while participating in SUP paddling activities.

When participating in SUP paddling, tourists are provided with a snorkeling mask and life vest; the preparation process is explained by locals and guides to ensure safety. SUP boats can carry 2 to 3 people and are supervised by guides throughout the activity. Besides paddling, tourists can also snorkel to admire the coral reefs, coral, and various fish species. These are experiences that keep tourists coming back to Hon Son Island.

Visitors are required to wear life jackets when participating in the game.

Ms. Hoang Thi Loan from Rach Gia City, Kien Giang Province, shared: "I find Hon Son very beautiful. It's a great place for people stressed out by work or studies. Everyone should visit for a few days to experience it for themselves. This was my first time participating in SUP paddling, but I really enjoyed it. Paddling allows you to exercise your body, feel healthier, happier, and more relaxed."

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is a sport that requires balance and teamwork.

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) originated in Hawaii (a US state) and has developed and spread in recent years at coastal tourist destinations. In Vietnam, this sport is loved by many young people. SUP helps to build muscle endurance, improve balance on the water, foster teamwork, and provide many exciting experiences.

After paddleboarding, visitors can experience snorkeling to catch shellfish and admire marine life.
