Spend a full day hopping seven islands on a traditional long-tail from Koh Lipe — snorkeling vibrant reefs, photographing black-stone beaches, and enjoying a boxed lunch on a quiet shore. Practical tips and site expectations help you plan a safe, reef-conscious day on the Andaman Sea.

The long-tail hums as dawn light splinters across Andaman water, and the boat eases away from Koh Lipe’s sandy shoreline. Salt sharpens the air; limestone islets rise like ink blots on the horizon. Each stop offers a different rhythm — shallow coral flats that coax you to float quietly, deeper bommies where schools of fusiliers stream like silver ribbons, and black pebble beaches that catch the sun.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding and reapply as directed to protect coral and avoid slips on wet decks.
Wear fins and a snug mask
Fins improve your control in currents and reduce accidental fin kicks on coral; a well-fitted mask prevents leaks during long swims.
Protect electronics
Use a waterproof case or dry bag for phones and cameras — waves and spray are constant on long-tail boats.
Pace yourself in the water
Rest between snorkels, hydrate on the boat, and avoid touching coral or chasing fish to keep reefs healthy and your body injury-free.
