If you don\u2019t know how to swim at all, it is recommended to choose an experience group accompanied by a coach.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q2_Which_is_more_suitable_for_novices_canoe_or_stand-up_board\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q2_%E7%8D%A8%E6%9C%A8%E8%88%9F%E5%92%8C%E7%9B%B4%E7%AB%8B%E6%9D%BF%E5%93%AA%E5%80%8B%E6%9B%B4%E9%81%A9%E5%90%88%E6%96%B0%E6%89%8B%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>Q2: Which is more suitable for novices, canoe or stand-up board?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A canoe is generally easier to get started than a stand-up board because the canoe has a seat and a lower center of gravity for greater stability. An upright board requires a better sense of balance, but offers a wider field of vision for standing paddling. Both are great fun and newbies can choose based on personal preference.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_How_much_is_the_price_for_canoe_rental_in_Sai_Kung\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q3_%E8%A5%BF%E8%B2%A2%E7%8D%A8%E6%9C%A8%E8%88%9F%E7%A7%9F%E5%80%9F%E5%83%B9%E9%8C%A2%E5%A4%A7%E6%A6%82%E6%98%AF%E5%A4%9A%E5%B0%91%EF%BC%9F\"><\/span>Q3: How much is the price for canoe rental in Sai Kung?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Saigon canoe rental prices vary depending on location, time of day (weekdays\/weekends) and length of rental.
