Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to March) to secure pool-view or ocean-facing rooms. If you plan to bring your pet, notify the homestay at the time of booking to confirm arrangements. Rent a bike or car through the homestay’s affordable rental service to explore Tuan Chau Island’s quiet coastal roads at your own pace. Don’t miss the opportunity to order fresh local seafood from the on-site restaurant, or pick up catch from a nearby fishing village and use the homestay’s barbecue facilities for a casual sunset dinner. Finally, pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to join the homestay’s diving or snorkeling trips to protect Halong Bay’s fragile marine ecosystems.
