Board a traditional longtail and cross turquoise water to Hong Island for snorkeling, a lagoon cruise, and a beach BBQ at sunset. Expect warm water, limestone cliffs, and the chance to swim with bioluminescent plankton after dark.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The longtail slips from the pier and the mainland recedes—limestone cliffs cut into the blue, and a warm current nudges the hull as you head toward Hong Island.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Use only reef‑safe SPF and reapply before boarding to protect coral and marine life.
Secure footwear
Water shoes with good soles make boarding and reef entry easier on rocky shallows and mangrove flats.
Timing for bioluminescence
The glow is visible only after dark and when the sea is calm—avoid bright lights and wait away from other boats.
Sea condition awareness
Longtail boats are stable but can be bouncy; bring a light anti‑nausea remedy if prone to seasickness.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects you and the coral—mandatory for sensitive reef areas.
