The trip

The whole country,
one paddle

This is the big one — Hanoi to Saigon, the length of Vietnam, with pickleball woven through it. Ha Long Bay, the Hoi An lanterns, the Da Nang beaches, and a Mekong Delta morning to finish. 5 sessions across 3 cities, 3 of them club meetups with locals. 2 internal flights keep you off overnight buses, and rest days are built in — you will need them. Small group, real courts, and a local team who handle every detail.

Everything below is a sample itinerary. We tailor the pace, the play, and the sights to your group before you travel — you tell us the vibe, we shape the days around it.
