Dawn breaks over Phuket as the long-tail cuts through glassy Andaman water, cliffs of weathered limestone rising like ancient walls on the horizon. You feel the boat pick up speed; salt air and a chorus of gulls set the rhythm for two days where islands, caves, and coral dictate the itinerary.

Travel light — 7 kg hand baggage limit
Only small bags are permitted on the speedboat; leave suitcases at your hotel to avoid issues at boarding.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and your skin — apply sunscreen before boarding and reapply after swimming.
Bring water shoes
Canoeing, wet rocks and beach landings reward grippy, quick-dry shoes rather than flip-flops.
Check Maya Bay seasonal closure
Maya Bay is closed for rehabilitation annually (usually Aug–Sep); expect photo stops from the boat instead.
Light daypack (carry-on size)
Fits the 7 kg boat luggage limit and stores sunscreen, camera and water bottle.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and fragile coral ecosystems during long sun exposure on deck and at beaches.
