• Check the weather for both Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay, especially during the rainy or windy season. This helps you plan the right clothing and manage expectations for outdoor activities.
• Pack light but bring essentials such as your passport or ID, personal medications, sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and swimwear.
• For children, seniors, or guests who cannot swim, choose safe and suitable activities in advance and inform the crew during check-in.

Onboard Safety

Your safety is the crew’s top priority. Every guest will receive a short briefing upon boarding — please listen carefully and follow all instructions:

• Remember the location of life vests, lifeboats, and emergency exits.
• Always wear a life jacket when kayaking, using a bamboo boat, or joining any water activity.
• Avoid drinking alcohol during sailing hours to stay alert and stable.
• For your safety, never climb, sit, or lean over the ship’s railings while taking photos or videos.

During Excursions

Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island offer exciting adventures, but travelers should always be mindful of local conditions and their physical limits:

• Stay with your tour guide and follow the schedule during island visits or cave tours. Avoid exploring alone, as tides and paths can change quickly.
• For activities like cycling in Viet Hai Village or visiting Hospital Cave, assess your fitness and let the guide know if you have any health concerns.
