What to remember

Know in advance:

To confirm your booking and arrange your travel insurance, please send a copy of the passport ID page for all travellers to the local operator (you'll find their contact details on your voucher). This information will be treated as strictly confidential
Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation closes Maya Bay every year for 2 months in August and September. In this period, there will be no stop at Maya Bay during your tour
During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, it's recommended wearing protective clothing such as water shoes and long swimwear
For your safety, it's strongly recommended wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkelling
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 you can hop off and on easily
There is a minimum of 15 people required to run this activity. On the rare occasion that it's required to cancel this trip, the local operator will inform you in advance and offer a different travel date, an alternative activity or provide a full refund

Remember to bring:
