More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The speedboat leaves Leam Nga Pier with the engine thrumming and sea spray on your cheeks, cutting a clean wake south of Phuket toward three distinct island landscapes. Pirates Beach on Racha Noi greets visitors with white sand and a shallow reef that dares you to slip into clear water; Banana Bay on Raya Noi drops off into a garden of hard corals and darting angelfish; Maiton Island sits smaller and quieter, where the swell sometimes draws dolphins that ride the bow wave.

Loose masks fog or leak—test and adjust before leaving the boat to maximize time exploring coral gardens.
