More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Phuket's pier as late morning sun lights the Andaman Sea, the boat's diesel hum and salt spray setting a brisk tempo. The islands rise as limestone cliffs—sheer, weathered, and punctuated by jungle—while reef edges flash with schools of fish. By midday you're anchored off Bamboo Island: sand underfoot, snorkel masks fogging, and coral gardens close enough to read with a careful kick.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral—apply before boarding and reapply sparingly after swimming.
Pack a dry bag
Keep phone, wallet, and a light change of clothes in a small dry bag for boat transfers and beach stops.
Take sea-sickness meds early
If you get motion sick, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure—calmer bays don't guarantee smooth crossings.
Protect your camera
Bring a floating strap or waterproof case—salt spray and swimming will put gear at risk.
