Travel Tips

  • Visit early morning for best light, fewer people, and cooler temperatures.
  • Wear sturdy footwear for cliff-edge walking; paths can be uneven and slippery when wet.
  • Bring cash in Vietnamese Dong; many local vendors do not accept cards.
  • Negotiate taxi or motorbike rates before departure to avoid fare disputes.
  • Pack sunscreen, hat, and water; shade is limited along the coastal paths.
