The morning starts with engines rising over the marina and the Gulf’s early light glinting off a low, fast wake. By the time the limestone towers of Phi Phi Leh come into view, the sea has a voice—gentle or impatient depending on the season—and the cliffs answer back with sheer faces and sudden green.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Conventional sunscreens damage coral; opt for reef‑safe formulas and apply before boarding to protect reefs at snorkeling stops.
Take seasickness prevention
The crossing can be rough—carry pills or patches and sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest if you’re prone to nausea.
Water shoes help onshore
Many beach landings are via small tenders or slippery rocks—light, grippy water shoes make entries and exits easier.
