The boat slips away from Koh Samui at first light and the Gulf opens, a broad sheet of blue that seems to dare you forward. By midmorning you’re paddling between limestone karsts, the islands' sheer faces pushing the wind into sudden channels while hidden lagoons wait like secret rooms. The sea here moves with intent; currents nudge kayaks through narrow tunnels and calm coves where schools of fish wheel beneath clear water.
