You step into the warm, salty air at the hotel curb and the driver already knows your name. The island hums—songbirds, scooter engines, the distant chop of long-tail boats—and your German-speaking guide sketches the morning over cold water and a map on the back seat. This is not a rote itinerary. It’s a half-day, private tour—six hours of island roads, temple courtyards and viewpoints that you shape as you go.

Dress respectfully at temples
Bring a lightweight scarf or a shirt covering shoulders and knees; most temples require shoes off, so wear slip-ons for convenience.
Start early to avoid heat
Begin mid-morning to catch softer light and avoid the hottest part of the day—this helps with comfort and photography.
Carry small change
Many local stalls and some temple donations are cash-only; small bills and coins speed transactions.
Be flexible with the route
Road conditions and crowds can change; confirm must-see stops at the start and allow the guide to suggest timing tweaks.
Lightweight walking shoes
Provide traction on temple steps and short jungle paths without overheating your feet.
Wide-brim hat and sunglasses
Protects against strong sun during coastal stops and viewpoint exposures.

Reusable water bottle
