The catamaran slips away from Ao Nang as the limestone karsts of the Andaman Sea sharpen from mist to cliff — cliffs that have been carved by wind and waves for millions of years. Salt-sweet wind pushes the sails, while turquoise water dares you to dive in; this full-day run hits Railay’s cliffs, Bamboo Island’s white sand, Phi Phi Don’s lively harbor, Viking Cave, Pileh Lagoon and the famous Maya Bay, finishing with a sunset at Tup or Poda Island.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Prepare for seasickness
Even on calm days the chop can pick up; take motion-sickness meds before boarding if you’re sensitive.
Footwear for shore visits
Wear water shoes or sturdy sandals for rocky beaches and boarding from small boats; flip-flops can be slippery on wet piers.
Carry a small dry bag
Keep phone, wallet and camera dry during transfers and snorkeling stops; a lightweight dry bag makes beach transitions easier.
