During certain seasons, jellyfish may be present in the Andaman Sea, and contact can cause skin irritation or discomfort. To minimize the risk, it's recommended wearing protective clothing such as water shoes and long swimwear in the water
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
For your own safety, it's recommended wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkelling
Power catamarans carry passengers as close to the beach as they can, so you can hop off and on easily
