4.     Kayaking & Trekking Notes.

• The trekking tour through the forest is not too difficult, ⅔ of the route is an easy walking path, and ⅓ of the rest is harder, hands climbing is a requirement at some parts before reaching Viet Hai.
• The kayaking time is decided by the tour guide based on the weather, time, and the members’ health in the group. The last destination is Ba Trai Dao Bay which is the furthest point in Lan Ha Bay. Inside Lan Ha Bay is the calm water surface; by contrast, when getting closer to Ba Trai Dao we will get over the large sea with waves. The tour guide has the guidance to help us paddle safely.
• Before paddling, the tour guide will instruct us on the kayaking techniques and safety notes along with the timeline. You need to wear a life jacket.
• When paddling, you need to avoid places with strong water flow or hindrances like rocks, and the ships in Bay. Do not paddle close to the rock cliff if there is a chance for the waves to push you to the cliff which has sharp oysters. 
• We will have the boat accompany us during the paddling period. In case, you want to stop paddling to use the boat, please inform the tour guide.
