If guests plan to join optional pickleball activities, they may bring their own pickleball paddles if preferred. Alternatively, paddles can be rented or purchased locally in Vietnam, and our team will be happy to assist.

Guests should also bring a hat, sunscreen, personal medication if needed, a reusable water bottle, and a small backpack for daily excursions. Some cash is advisable for optional experiences, local handicraft shopping, or personal expenses.
