The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a dry bag

Protect cameras, phones and documents from spray and a sandy beach; a 5–10L dry bag fits essentials.

Reef-safe sunscreen only

Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and bring a hat for sun exposure between swims.

Check tide timing

Low tides can expose sandbars and alter landing spots at Tup and Phra Nang — ask your guide about best swim windows.

Practice snorkeling basics

If you’re new, test breathing and mask fit in shallow water before heading to deeper reef areas.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sandbar at low tide between Tup and Mor — ideal for short walks and photos
  • Small shrine caves near Phra Nang with colorful offerings and local belief practices

Wildlife

  • Parrotfish
  • Blacktip reef shark (shallow reef sightings, non-aggressive)

Conservation Note

Stick to marked snorkeling zones, avoid touching coral and use reef-safe sunscreen; local marine park fees support protection of reef habitats.

The limestone karsts formed from ancient coral uplift and erosion over millions of years; local communities have fished these waters for generations.
