General precautions
- Before swimming in the sea, follow local lifeguard instructions and flag rules; avoid swimming on days with dangerous waves.
- In the hill areas (Bandarban, Rangamati, Khagrachhari), check local administration rules and the current situation first; entering unknown trails without a guide is not advisable.
- In wildlife areas like the Sundarbans, never enter without an authorised guide.
- Check official weather warnings before boat journeys; never board overloaded vessels in rough weather.
- For seasonal destinations (e.g. Saint Martin's Island), verify the current government rules before travelling.
