Suitable for all physical fitness levels

Bring a dry bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops, a camera and cash.

To be able to confirm the booking, it is very important that you send us a copy of the passport ID page for all travelers. We have to send this information to the Thai Marine Department before the trip starts. It will be handled strictly private and confidential. Please also bring a digital photo of the passport on your phone or a copy of the passport to the trip.

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.

Speed catamarans navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach.

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.

This tour is not recommended for pregnant women, infants under 2 years, people over 69 years or people with back or neck problems.

Meeting point

Meet at Wow Andaman Pier (Thap Lamu Pier) in Khao Lak 45 minutes before scheduled departure.

Important notes

Please present your booking number and the lead traveler's name on your phone to the check-in staff.
