Questions
Before you book.
How many people fit?
Up to 10 guests on one boat. Ask us for larger groups.
Can we change the route?
Yes. Your captain plans the order around tide, wind and your wishes.
Is the national park fee included?
No. It is paid in cash at the park: 300 THB per adult and 150 THB per child.

Is lunch included?

What time do we leave and return?
Usually around 09:00 and back by 16:00–16:30, but the schedule is yours. Start earlier to beat the day boats.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Rain alone does not cancel a trip; strong wind and waves do. Your captain checks the sea every morning. If we cancel because it is not safe, you choose a full refund or a new date, and we tell you by WhatsApp and email as early as possible.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Yes, free of charge up to 48 hours before departure: a full refund or a new date, subject to availability. Within 48 hours of departure, or if you do not show, the booking is charged in full. Refunds go back to your card within 5–10 working days.
