I just completed a kayaking trip on Tuyen Lam Lake not long ago and I have to admit: this is one of the most worthwhile experiences when visiting Da Lat, especially if you love nature and enjoy light outdoor activities.
Why should you try kayaking on Tuyen Lam Lake?
Tuyen Lam Lake is extremely wide, the water is clear and calm - ideal for kayaking even if you are a beginner.
The air is cool, the surrounding scenery is green pine forests, creating an indescribable feeling of relaxation.
Early morning or late afternoon, when the light is soft, the misty lake scene is truly picturesque.

Actual experience I want to share:
 Kayak rental service has full range of single and double boats; life jackets are equipped for safety.

Instructor provides initial support for beginners: how to hold the paddle, adjust direction, correct sitting position.
 Popular route: depart from the boat dock, row along the small branches of the lake, explore the beautiful pine forests casting shadows on the water.
I chose the free rowing tour for about 2 hours and felt the absolute peace - no traffic, no noise, just the sound of water gently lapping against the boat and the sound of forest birds echoing in the distance.
Some important notes:
Going early (6:00-7:00 am) is the most ideal time: the weather is cool, the lake is clear and there is little wind.
Wear light, quick-drying clothes; bring drinking water and sunscreen.
Always wear a life jacket even if you can swim, because there are areas of the lake that are up to 30-40m deep.

If you come to Da Lat and only visit cafes or check-in on the streets, you have really missed a very beautiful piece of this city. A kayaking session on Tuyen Lam Lake will give you the feeling of being completely immersed in nature, slowing down from the hustle and bustle of life, and fully experiencing a very different Da Lat - peaceful and profound.
I highly recommend everyone to try this experience at least once in their life. Trust me, you will not regret it!
