Bring a dry bag
Keep cameras, phones, and warm layers dry—boat decks get wet and evening swims are likely.
Choose a darker moon phase
Book around new moon for the best chance to see strong bioluminescent glow after dark.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens damage coral—use mineral-based sunscreen and cover up between swims.
Mind the tide times
Sandbars like Thale Waek appear or disappear with tides; listen to guides to avoid stranding.
