What’s included in a typical catamaran tour?

You’ll usually get hotel pickup/drop-off, buffet or plated lunch, soft drinks and fresh fruit, water toys (like kayaks, paddleboards), towels, life jackets, an English-speaking guide, national park fees, and sometimes extras like open-air showers, WiFi, or a DJ.

Is this tour good for children & older travelers?

Yes, catamarans are often one of the best options for families and older visitors. The stability, spaciousness, shade, and amenities make them more comfortable than speedboats or smaller vessels. Just check any age limits with your operator.

Seasickness is less likely on a catamaran because of its twin hull design, but motion can still happen with rough seas or wind. If you’re prone, sit mid-boat, avoid the bow, and bring medication.

Are water activities included?

Yes. Many tours include kayaking into caves or lagoons (e.g., Hong Island), paddleboarding, snorkeling, or swim stops, and sometimes slides or other water toys.

What should I check when booking a catamaran tour?

Check what is included: meals (buffet or plated), activity types, national park fees, transfers, group size, deck amenities (e.g., shaded lounge, sunbeds), and schedule (morning vs afternoon vs sunset). Also check the cancellation policy and whether extras like drinks or water toys cost extra.
