Accessibility:

• This tour is not recommended for infants under 4 years old, pregnant women or people with back or neck problems

Not allowed:

• Participants 65+ years old
• Notable rules at Maya Bay include no swimming, no single-use plastics, using reef-safe sunscreen and no use of drones without permission
• Don't 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:

• Entrance fee for 'Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park' of 400 THB per adult and 200 THB per child (only cash)

Know in advance:

• Thailand's Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation will close Maya Bay every year for 2 months (August and September)
• While Monkey Beach isn't a direct stop, you can still observe the monkeys when the tide is low
• 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 to wear protective clothing such as watershoes and long swimwear when swimming
• Ensuring your safety is top priority and the local operator strongly recommends wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling
• Speed 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 greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat

Remember to bring:

• A towel, waterproof bag, swimwear, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, flip flops and camera
