Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Lan Ha’s shallow waters and coral areas are sensitive—use biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after kayaking or swimming.
Wear water-friendly shoes
Rocky shorelines and slippery decking make closed-toe water shoes useful for launches and swim exits.
Secure electronics in dry bags
Kayaking and open-deck cruising send water spray; protect phones and cameras with a small dry bag.
Boarding caution at low tide
Some piers and floating platforms sit low at certain tides—use handrails and crew assistance when stepping on or off.
Quick-dry swimsuit and clothing
Dries fast after swimming or kayaking and is comfortable on deck during the sunset.
