The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you go
Carry a refillable water bottle and drink frequently — tropical sun and effort add up quickly on exposed walls.
Wear quick-dry clothing
Light, breathable layers protect from sun and salt spray while allowing full movement for climbing.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Apply reef-safe sunscreen and bring a hat for boat transfers and beach approaches.
Expect variable sea conditions
Boat transfers depend on tides and weather; check schedules and allow flexibility for timing changes.

Conservation Note
Climbing areas rely on respectful practices: avoid leaving chalk or trash on routes, use established trails to reduce erosion, and choose reef-safe sunscreens to protect nearshore ecosystems.
Railay was historically accessible only by boat; its limestone reefs are ancient coral formations uplifted over geological time and used by local communities for fishing and shelter.
