Insider tips

  • Arrive early at the pier (8:30am) for complimentary drinks and snacks before departure — great for beating the crowds later in the day.
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a rash guard; the sun reflects intensely off limestone and water.
  • The mangrove kayaking section is relatively sheltered but can feel crowded mid-afternoon — ask your guide about quieter lagoon routes.
  • Panyee Village lunch is buffet-style and filling; eat light beforehand if you plan to snorkel actively afterward.

Good to know

  • Hotel pickup at 7:30am; confirm your hotel location with supplier the day before.
  • Full day in sun and water — bring hat, sunglasses, waterproof bag, and extra clothing.
  • Snorkeling gear provided, but bring your own if you prefer specific fit or prescription lenses.
  • Tour operates rain or shine; Phang Nga Bay can be choppy in monsoon season (May–October).
  • Lunch and most beverages included; alcoholic drinks available for purchase at village.
