No Experience Required

A speedboat skims turquoise water and drops you into a landscape that refuses to be ordinary: sheer limestone cliffs rise like carved walls, the sea dares you to dive, and small beaches shine white under a tropical sun. This full-day trip from Phuket presses the best pages of the Andaman into one outing — snorkeling at coral gardens, a swim in Pileh Lagoon’s emerald bowl, and a sand-breathing pause on Bamboo Island.
