Island hopping
Resort day visit
Staying on a local island doesn't mean missing the resort side. A day pass gives you the beach, the pool and lunch, then you head back to your guesthouse.
Pros
- Resort comfort without resort nights
- Alcohol available at the resort
- Transfer arranged for you
Cons
- Price varies a lot by resort
- Limited availability on busy days
What the day looks like
Speedboat transfer mid-morning, lunch and drinks at the resort (depends on the resort's day pass), afternoon on the beach, transfer back before sunset.
