More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A warm morning lifts off the pier at Ko Lipe and the captain trims the outboard; the sea ahead is glass, dotted with pinnacles and black stone islands. You move through water that brightens from teal to cobalt with each island, stepping off the boat into a world of shallow reefs, collapsed rock arches, and beaches rimmed with powder sand.
