Bring motion-sickness remedies

Bring non-slip water shoes or sandals for tender transfers, caves and beach stops.

Floating village vendors and tips often require Vietnamese dong—ATMs are limited on smaller islands.

Helpful for open-water stretches and tender transfers if you’re susceptible to nausea.
