Frequently Asked Questions

Is beachcombing weather-dependent?

Yes — it's timed to low tide, which your guide schedules. Cloud cover doesn't stop it, but heavy rain or rough seas may shift the plan for safety.

Can non-swimmers join Xidao island?

Absolutely — the island visit and reef-flat beachcombing don't require swimming. Watersports are optional and use life jackets with instructors.
