Respect marine life
Keep a quiet distance when dolphins appear — sudden movements or loud noises can stress them; use a zoom lens for photos.
Protect the reef
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid touching coral; reef-safe products reduce chemical damage to marine ecosystems.
Prepare for boat motion
If you’re susceptible to seasickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-boat for the smoothest ride.
Carry small cash
Bring small Thai baht for extras like souvenirs or drinks at the beach restaurant, since cards aren’t always accepted.
