You cut through glass-blue Andaman water in a speedcatamaran, spray tasting like salt and diesel, and the islands appear as raw shapes on the horizon. Koh Haa’s limestone outcrops flash white against the sea; Koh Rok’s beaches greet you with a stretch of coral-guarded shallows. The first breath of salt before your mask is a clear promise: this is a day built around water.

Choose reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen to protect coral; apply well before boarding and reapply after swimming.
Bring a waterproof camera
You’ll pass dramatic limestone and colorful reefs—capture shots at each snorkel site but secure your camera on the boat.
Wear reef shoes for beach exits
Some sandbars and rocky shallows have sharp coral—light water shoes protect feet when entering or leaving the water.
Hydrate and pace food
Ten-hour days with sun and salt are dehydrating—drink water between snorkels and eat lightly before diving in.
Mask and snorkel
Operator supplies gear, but personal fit avoids leaks and fogging during longer swims.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and fragile coral—choose mineral-based formulas.
