Bring a waterproof phone pouch
Kayaking and Luon cave short boat rides will splash; protect phones and passports in a sealed pouch.
Pack non-slip sandals
Island landings and cave stairs are wet and uneven — sandals with toe grip or lightweight hiking shoes help.

Crew gratuities, small purchases on Titop Island and snack stalls often require Vietnamese dong in small bills.
