Conservation
The area’s reefs are sensitive to sunscreen, anchors and trampling—choose operators who use mooring buoys, avoid touching coral, and favor reef-safe products.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sunscreen that’s safe for coral protects reef life and prevents skin damage during prolonged sun exposure on open water.
Carry cash for extras
Small vendors, snorkel fin rentals and park fees often require Thai baht—ATMs are limited on Phi Phi Don.
Wear water shoes
Shallow reefs and sandy spits can hide sharp coral; water shoes protect feet on rocky entry points.
Check sea conditions before booking
Monsoon months bring choppier seas; ask your captain about tides and cancellations for safety.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin while minimizing damage to coral ecosystems.
Personal snorkel mask
Familiar gear improves comfort and mask fit during repeated short snorkel sessions.
Dry bag (10L)
Keeps phone, wallet and spare clothes dry on an open-deck boat.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated under tropical sun is critical on a half-day outing.
