Before you commit
The crossing and the activity site need separate weather and current assessments. A dry-season label does not guarantee calm seas or suitable snorkelling.
Build the budget
Clarify hotel transfers, island transport, lunch, guide services and return timing as well as the boat fee.
Choose your travel style
Choose one main priority: time outdoors, local food, cultural visits or fewer transfers. Build the daily routine around it. Keep an alternative stop in the plan and confirm transport and activity arrangements before you travel.
