Day Trip Tips
Make the most of your excursions.
- ✓ Book boat trips the afternoon before, captains need to check weather and tide forecasts for your specific day
- ✓ Bring a dry bag even for short trips. Sea spray is inevitable and your phone will thank you

- ✓ Longtail boats have no set schedule. They leave when full (8-10 people) unless you pay for private hire
- ✓ Island hopping works best October-May; June-September brings rough seas and some islands close
- ✓ Pack reef-safe sunscreen, Thailand banned harmful formulas in marine parks and rangers check
- ✓ If you're prone to seasickness, take the morning boats, seas are calmer before noon
- ✓ Krabi's songthaews stop running around 6pm. Plan your return or book a private driver for evening returns
