Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Corals are fragile—use mineral-based sunscreen and reapply before entering the water to protect reefs and improve water visibility.
Expect tidal timing
Thale Waek (Tup Island) is only walkable at low tide—ask your guide about the best photo windows and plan beach time accordingly.
Secure your gear on boats
Longtail boats pitch on chop; use a dry bag and secure loose items to prevent water damage or loss.
Night swimming etiquette
When viewing bioluminescence, avoid bright lights and camera flashes to preserve the glow and other visitors’ experience.
Snorkel mask and snorkel
A personal mask improves fit and visibility compared with shared gear.

Protects skin and coral; apply before the water and bring spill-proof bottles.
