Frequently asked

The price is per person, the same for adults and children aged 3 to 12, and free for under-3s. It covers the transfer, national park fees, kayaking, dinner and the English-speaking guide. Full payment is required at booking.
Nothing, aside from your own personal extras. Just remember to bring a towel.
The van comes by between 1:00 and 1:30 pm, sometimes running 20-30 minutes late depending on traffic. The driver waits 10 minutes, so be ready at reception. Book at least 48 hours in advance.
It runs with a minimum of 6 participants, up to 25 maximum per boat. If the minimum isn't reached, you'll be offered another date or a refund. The plankton is natural, so its glow varies from night to night.

Before you go

Good to know

  • Prone to seasickness?

    Take a tablet ~30 min before departure, sit mid-boat, keep your eyes on the horizon and avoid heading out on an empty stomach.

  • Beat the crowds

    Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.

  • National park fees

    Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.

  • Sun & reef care

    The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.

  • What to pack

    Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a dry bag for your phone, and a change of clothes for the trip back.
