Boarding windows matter
Arrive at Tuan Chau Port by the stated boarding time to avoid missing the safety briefing and welcome drink; check pickup schedules if coming from Hanoi.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Lan Ha and Halong Bay have sensitive marine habitats—use biodegradable sunscreen to reduce reef impact during swims and kayaking.
Non‑slip footwear
Decks and cave approaches can be wet; wear shoes with good grip rather than flip‑flops when moving around the vessel or boarding tenders.
Carry a light daypack
Pack essentials (water bottle, light jacket, camera, medication) for excursions—cabins are secure but not convenient for constant coming and going.
Non‑slip deck shoes
Secure footing for boarding, wet decks, and cave approaches.
Light waterproof jacket
Wind and sea spray are common—bring a breathable shell for comfort.
