How To Choose a Junk in Ha Long Bay

Don't look for the cheapest tours, the risk is high, that the service and the safety are cheap too

Ask the tour seller: how old is the boat?

Check, if the boat has glass windows - boats with wood windows are older. Newer boats have hammers to break the glass

Check, if Kayaking or the transfer from Hanoi to Halong is included in the package,

Check if lifewests for Kayaking are included

Check, if the route goes to Bai Tu Long Bay, which is less crowded than Halong Bay

Check the weather, before you start. If storms are forecasted, you should not go. Be aware, that the tour operator might not have an insurance, so take care, you have one yourself

When going on board: ask for the security instruction. Check, where the life vests are

If you are not an experienced swimmer, take care, there can be streams in the water, may be the way back to the ship is much harder than the way away from the ship, there can also be jellyfish

If you are not experienced in kayaking, don't go alone but with somebody who is experienced. Especially inside the caves there can be streams difficult to manage.
