What to Do

Be Prepared

Carry all required documents, including ID and entry permits, before departure.

Stay Flexible

Island travel follows nature. Weather and vessel schedules may change—go with the flow.

Choose Comfort Wisely

Beachside cottages offer the best balance of comfort, location, and experience.

Respect the Culture

Dress modestly and be mindful of local traditions and community values.

Pack Smart

Carry essentials like sunscreen, hats, and personal medications—availability is limited on the islands.

Follow Local Guidance

For all activities, especially water-based ones, follow instructions from guides and authorities.

Slow Down & Soak It In

Disconnect from the routine and enjoy the calm, unhurried rhythm of island life.

What to Avoid

Don’t Expect Mainland Luxury

Stays are clean and comfortable, but not comparable to 5-star city hotels.

Avoid Plastic & Littering

Help preserve the fragile ecosystem—leave nothing behind but footprints.

Protect Marine Life

Do not touch corals or disturb marine species during activities.

Don’t Over-Expect Infrastructure

Wi-Fi, electricity, and hot water may be limited or intermittent.

Avoid Fixed Plans

Travel timings can shift due to weather or administrative factors.

No Last-Minute Documentation

Submit permits and documents well in advance to avoid delays.

Respect Boundaries

Do not enter restricted areas without proper permission.
