Good to Know

Quick & Smooth: This is one of the shortest sea crossings in Phuket (approx. 15 minutes). It is ideal for those who get motion sickness or families traveling with small children who may find long boat rides tiring.
Reef-Safe Sunscreen: To protect our local coral reefs, we highly recommend using biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen. Traditional sunscreens containing Oxybenzone are discouraged.
Itinerary Changes: Your safety is our priority. In the event of high swells or strong winds, the captain may adjust the snorkeling spots or timing. If a trip is cancelled due to weather, we offer a full refund or a date change.
The Best Light: For the best "clear kayak" photos, the midday sun (11:00 AM – 1:00 PM) makes the water look the most transparent and turquoise.
