Bring layers
Temperatures can change rapidly at elevation; a light fleece or windproof jacket keeps you comfortable at viewpoints and on the coaster.
Secure cameras and phones
The coaster allows open-air photos but sudden turns can jostle gear—use a strap or zip items into a pocket.
Hydrate before you go
Bottled water is provided on the vehicle, but drink early to avoid lightheadedness at higher altitude.
Go early for light
Morning departures offer softer light and fewer visitors at Best View Sapa—better photos and quieter vistas.
Closed-toe shoes
Provide stable footing during short walks at viewpoints and boarding the coaster.
Layered jacket
Insulates against cool, changeable mountain weather—useful year-round in Sapa.

Small daypack
