The catamaran slips away from Ao Chalong as the pier shrinks behind you, the Andaman Sea opening in a sheet of turquoise that dares you to forget schedules for a few hours. Onboard the private Koh Hey (Coral Island) transfer, the horizon is a moving postcard: white sand beaches, shoulder-deep reefs, and palm-fringed shallows that glint like coins.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and avoid fines by choosing a mineral-based sunscreen; apply before boarding and reapply after swimming.
Bring water shoes
Shallow reef flats can be sharp—water shoes protect feet when entering or exiting in reef-strewn shallows.

On-island lunches and optional activities are typically paid locally, so bring Thai baht for vendors and rentals.
