The catamaran eases away from Ao Chalong as late afternoon light slants across the Andaman; sails fill and the island’s silhouette slips into view. Salt cools the air, and the deck hums with quiet anticipation as the vessel pushes toward Koh Hey — the sand bright enough to make the water glow.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Follow snorkeling briefings
Stay with your buddy, avoid standing on coral, and use the life jacket provided if you’re not a strong swimmer.
