New Zealand, Mexico’s Baja California, USA’s Alaska, Vietnam, Fiji, Scotland and the High Arctic are the world’s best places to go sea kayaking, said the magazine.
“Kayaking in Vietnam, you’ll not only witness extraordinary scenery, but gain an intimate insight into the country’s coastal communities – meeting and dealing with local fishermen who will be only too happy to supply you with your evening meal.”
“The premier sea kayaking location in Vietnam (and perhaps the whole of Asia) is Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site peppered with 1,600 islands, many of which have enticing sea caves, tunnels and mangroves. The Mekong Delta, meanwhile, offers easy paddling through myriad channels and a chance to join the ebb and flow of life at floating markets and villages.”-VNA
