Does the price include tax?: Yes, all prices are including tax.
Which entry is better, boat or beach?: If you take a boat, diving or snorkeling time will be shorten to about 25 mins due to time schedule for boats. In addition, you will be unable to join the course when you are late. Boat can not enter to the Blue Cave, so boat is berthed near the Blue Cave and we swim to there. On the other hand, with beach entry, your activity time will be about 40 mins, longer than a boat entry. You might be able to join the tour, even though you are not on time, so we recommend a beach entry.
