Similan Islands catamaran trip from Khao Lak

Accessibility:

• This tour isn't recommended for pregnant women, infants under 2 years, people over 69 years or people with back or neck problems

Not allowed:

• To feed the monkeys, as it makes them aggressive and stops them from foraging for food as they would normally do

Extra fees to be paid on-site:

• If you want to switch your hotel in Khao Lak, an extra fee of 300 THB applies

Know in advance:

• In order to confirm the booking, it's essential that you send the local operator a copy of the passport ID page for each traveller. This information will be shared with the Thai Marine Department before the trip starts, and handled strictly privately and confidentially. You'll find the partner's contact details in the voucher you'll receive after booking
• During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimise the risk, it's recommended to wear protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming
• It's strongly recommended to wear a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkelling for safety reasons
• Speed catamarans navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach

Remember to bring:

• A digital photo or a copy of your passport
• A dry bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops, a camera and cash
• It's recommended to wear shorts as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat
• It's recommended to wear watershoes for better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces
