The catamaran cuts through the Andaman like a practiced swimmer, spray tasting of salt and engine oil as dawnlight lifts the limestone shadows of the Similan group. Guests step onto Island No.8 first — a short walk on brilliant white sand with the sea pushing and pulling at the shoreline like a patient guide. Later, clear water opens into a world of coral gardens; elbows-deep snorkelers drift over bommies and reef slopes where anemones sway with the current.
