Camping and tides in Vietnam

Ha Long and Lan Ha Bays have one tide a day, up to about 4 m, which decides which caves and lagoons you can paddle into. The tide pages here are modelled from satellite data (EOT20), not official predictions. Kayaking is regulated inside the World Heritage area: go with a licensed operator. All Vietnam regions.
