By midmorning the canoe's bow parts a sheet of glass-blue sea, palu trees on the closest islet punctuating the horizon. Guides load snorkel gear as small waves slap the hull; the An Thoi archipelago spreads like a scatter of jade—Gam Ghi's reef, a lunch beach on an uninhabited cay, and the shallow channels around Kim Quy.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and apply before boarding to avoid rinsing it off in the reef zone.
Secure a snug mask
A well-fitting snorkel mask prevents leaks and lets you focus on marine life without constant clearings.
Expect boat transfers
Short boat or canoe transits between islets can be choppy—wear non-slip reef shoes and keep electronics stowed in waterproof cases.
Hydrate and pack snacks
Although lunch is included, bring water and light snacks for the boat rides and sun exposure between snorkeling sessions.
