The park is typically open November through early May; it closes in the monsoon season (roughly May–October) for safety and reef recovery.
The islands are part of an established national park (declared in 1982) and were traditionally visited by local fishing communities; tourism is managed seasonally to protect nesting and reef habitats.
Visitors must follow park rules: avoid touching coral, use reef-safe products, and dispose of waste properly; controlled access during the season helps reef recovery.
Sightseeing Phuket operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
