Accessibility:
- This activity is not suitable for pregnant women or individuals with pre-existing health concerns (e.g., high blood pressure, recent bone surgery, or back/neck issues)
Not allowed:
- Infants under 2 years old
Know in advance:
- It's strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkelling
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces
- Long tail boats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach
- Shorts are an ideal choice, as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level rises above your knees when getting on or off the boat
- During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimise the risk, it is recommended to wear protective clothing such as long swimwear when swimming
- Please note that Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation closes Maya Bay every year for two months in August and September
- Notable rules at Maya Bay include: no swimming, no single-use plastics, and no use of drones without permission. Only reef-safe sunscreen is permitted
- Don't feed the monkeys, as it makes them aggressive and stops them from foraging for food as they would normally do
Remember to bring:
- Bring a towel, snacks, waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip-flops and a camera
