The rainy season at our Asian destinations is a sight to behold. Frequent but often brief spells of showers lead to cooler temperatures, verdant landscapes looking even more vibrant, and the sight of a rainbow (or two) stretching across clear skies. Since there are fewer tourists during this time, travellers also get easier access to popular attractions and truly immerse themselves in their unique setting.
However, the beautiful monsoon is not without its challenges. Especially when it comes to cruising the turquoise seas and bays, poorly maintained boats/ferries can be detrimental to the safety of passengers, especially during turbulent weather conditions. With capsizing incidents making headlines every year, at Discova, we continue to put the health and safety of our customers and team members as our top priorities.
As Peter Christiansen, our Director of Operations, says, “Boat tours offer a unique way to explore and connect with nature, but they also come with their own set of risks. Hence, we are committed to implementing the highest standards of safety protocols. From ensuring regular maintenance checks are carried out on the vessels to comprehensive safety briefings for our passengers, we leave no stone unturned in our quest to provide a secure environment.”
