Accessibility Options by Activity:

Glass-Bottom Boats: Excellent for viewing marine life without getting wet, suitable for most ages and abilities.
Snorkeling/Diving: Requires swimming ability; the shallow fringing reef is accessible, but conditions can vary, making it harder for some.
Canoe Rides (Mangroves): Available at places like Sudi Island; good for exploring but requires getting into a canoe.
Walking: Some areas, like Love Island sandbank, are walkable at low tide, but boat access is needed otherwise.

Key Considerations:

Boat Types: Standard boats for snorkeling may have higher sides; check if operators offer assistance for boarding.
Tides: Low tide is better for walking on sandbanks, high tide for swimming and boat trips.
Physical Limitations: Tours often advise against for pregnant travelers, back issues, or serious medical conditions.
Wheelchair Users: Limited accessibility; confirm with operators for boat access and island landing, as it's generally not suitable.
On-Island: Facilities are minimal on smaller islands like Sudi, focusing on nature.
