IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Notes on tour activities

  • The activities on the tour have an average level of movement and do not require great physical strength. The requirements for trekking and diving experience are also at an average level. However, this tour has a very prominent highlight: watching sea turtles lay eggs on the beach, which requires following the instructions of the rangers.
  • Overnight at the ranger station on the night of watching sea turtles lay eggs has very basic conditions. At the ranger station, there are private rooms for 2 people or 3,4 people/room. However, in case of many guests, you may have to sleep in a hammock.
