You step off the jetty with a spray of Andaman salt on your face and the speedboat’s engine already humming like an impatient guide. The ride cuts across glassy bays and wakes that dare you to look back; ahead, three islands sit like chapters—Coral’s shallow beaches, Racha’s reef-framed bays, and Maiton’s quieter coves.

Book dry-season departures
Sea conditions are calmest November–April; off-season crossings can be choppier and itineraries altered.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication an hour before departure and sit mid-boat where motion is least pronounced.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
To protect coral and avoid skin irritation while snorkeling, use mineral-based, reef-safe sunscreen and apply sparingly.
Secure small valuables
Use a waterproof pouch or leave non-essentials at your hotel—beach pockets and boat benches can be wet and bumpy.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and coral reefs during long sun exposure on deck and in the water.
