Don't feed the monkeys as it makes them aggressive and stops them from foraging for food as they would normally do.

During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, we recommend wearing protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming.

Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.

While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.

Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat.

Power catamarans carry passengers as close to the beach as they can so passengers can hop off and on easily.

This tour is not recommended for infants under 1 years old, pregnant women or people with back or neck problems.
