Arrive Early at Ao Ton Sai Pier
Plan to be at the McDonald’s meeting point at least 15 minutes before departure so boarding is smooth and you don’t miss the captain’s briefing.
Bring Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding and reapply after snorkeling to protect coral and reduce skin damage in tropical sun.
Secure Valuables in a Dry Bag
Waves and snorkeling mean water everywhere—use a dry bag or watertight case for phones, passports and cameras.
Mind the Monkeys
At Monkey Beach keep food stored and avoid close interactions—macaques are curious and can grab loose items or bite if provoked.
Lightweight Dry Bag
Keeps electronics and documents dry while boarding, swimming, and in spray.
Snorkel Mask (personal)
Personal masks fit better and prevent fogging; operator provides masks and life jackets but fins rent separately.
