Select participants and date
The catamaran rocks with a polite, island-tempered rhythm as you step aboard barefoot and feel the city’s last light slide off stainless steel rigging. The breeze smells faintly of diesel and seaweed; the skyline of Singapore shrinks into a strip of glass behind you while the Southern Islands—low, green, and patient—rise like waypoints on a slowly turning compass.

Adventure Tips
Remove footwear before boarding
Footwear is not allowed onboard—bring easy slip-ons you can stow in a dry bag for the island walk.
Bring sunscreen and a brimmed hat
Exposure is high on deck and on open beaches—reef-safe sunscreen protects your skin and the water.
Hydrate and pack seasickness remedies
Three hours on open water can produce rolling swells; ginger or motion-sickness tablets help if you’re prone to nausea.
Respect island rules and carry out trash
These islands are managed to protect shorebirds and coral—no open fires, no littering, and avoid feeding wildlife.
