What to Bring on a Krabi Sunset Cruise
You do not need much for seven hours at sea. Bring the things that keep you comfortable before sunset and warm after the final swim; Bamboo handles the equipment, food and water.

What Bamboo provides
Snorkeling equipment, life jackets, paddleboards and kayaks are carried on board. Water, soft drinks, tea, coffee, fruit, snacks and the Thai buffet dinner are included.
The boat has a hot freshwater shower and Western bathroom. Towels are not listed as an inclusion, so bring one if you want to dry off immediately.
Cameras and phones
Krabi’s islands photograph best in the late afternoon, but saltwater and wet decks are hard on electronics. Use a waterproof case and listen when the crew asks guests to secure loose items.
Bioluminescent plankton is difficult for standard phone cameras to capture. Give yourself time to experience it without a screen.
Food, allergies and medical needs
Select vegetarian, vegan or allergy requirements during checkout. Contact the crew before departure if a dietary requirement is severe or needs detailed preparation.
Tell the crew about swimming ability and any relevant medical consideration before entering the water. Bring required medication with you rather than leaving it at the hotel.
