Morning light washes across glassy water as the Apple Cruise slips out of Tuan Chau harbor, limestone karsts rising like weathered towers from the sea. Passengers step onto private balconies to watch fishing boats thread between islands; gulls wheel and the bay itself seems to hold its breath as the ship eases into the green-open.

Bring motion-sickness remedies
Open water between karsts can get choppy—take or pack preventative medication if you’re sensitive to movement.
Wear water shoes
Limestone steps and beach pebbles are slippery; closed-toe water shoes make landings and kayaks easier.
Pack reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll spend long hours on deck and in shallow bays—use reef-safe sunscreen to protect skin and marine life.
Carry small Vietnamese Dong
Some small vendors and tipping situations are cash-only—bring small bills for day-boat crews and markets.
Light waterproof jacket
Wind and rain are possible—this keeps you dry during transfers and morning breezes.
Water shoes
Protect feet on limestone docks, beach landings and in kayaks.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
For swimming at Titop or Three Peach beach and for post-kayak comfort.
