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
Ensuring your safety is the top priority. To that end, the local tour provider strongly recommends wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkelling
Longtail boats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach
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
Shorts are ideal 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
While Monkey Beach isn't a direct stop, you can still observe the monkeys when the tide is low
Bring a towel, snacks, a waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops and a camera
