• Lightweight Clothing: It gets extremely hot, especially during the daytime; pack light and airy clothes that can help one keep cool.

• Be respectful to the culture and traditions of the fishermen; they have lived in coexistence with the sea for generations, and this is a way of life deeply rooted in cultural heritage.
• Feel free to ask them questions, and show your interest, but at the same time be most sensitive about their private space and their routines. The locals love telling their tales, but they equally appreciate visitors coming into their midst with curiosity and respect.

Having the following tips in mind will provide you with a richer and more meaningful experience and allow you to feel truly connected with the people who make Vung Vieng Village special.

Physical Fitness

While this tour is ideal for all traveler ages, some of the activities executed include a moderate level of physical fitness.
