What you'll see & do

  • Koh Ya Wa Sam is a hidden gem where adventure meets tranquility. As we arrive at this secluded spot, you'll be surrounded by stunning limestone karsts and crystal-clear waters. Dive into an underwater world with vibrant marine life as you snorkel through the shallow reef, or simply float along the surface, taking in the serene beauty of the Andaman Sea. The calm waters here make it a perfect spot for both beginner and seasoned snorkelers to explore. At this spot you may see Parrot Fish, Angel Fish, clownfish peeking out from its anemone home and if you're lucky a black tip shark (dont worry they are friendly). We also stop at Ko Si and Ko Ta Ming to snorkel however the itinerary changes day to day depending on conditions.
  • Ko Lao pe (Koh Si) is a tiny island that is great for snorkeling, offering a calm and most of the time uncrowded atmosphere, perfect for soaking up the natural surroundings. Beneath the surface, you'll find coral gardens alive with colorful fish like Butterfly Fish, Sergeant Majors, and even the occasional Clownfish hiding in anemones. The waters around Koh Si are crystal-clear, allowing you to easily spot schools of fish darting between the rocks and coral formations. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a blacktip reef shark, there is a healthy population of them at this spot. For those who prefer to stay on the surface, you can float leisurely while taking in the island’s striking limestone cliffs.
  • At Poda Island, we stop at a beautiful stretch of white sand where you can swim, relax on the boats roof top with a cocktail in hand, or explore Poda Islands bautiful beach. The island’s clear waters are perfect for a paddleboarding or kayaking adventure, with stunning views of limestone cliffs all around. As the sun begins its descent, the sky transforms into a canvas of brilliant colors. We stay here to take in this magical sunset while enjoying a Thai-buffet dinner onboard.
  • At the iconic Chicken Island, known for its unique rock formation that resembles a chicken’s head. Here, you’ll have the chance to snorkel again at a spectacular reef. You can also take advantage of our Paddleboards and kayak to explore the coastline at your own pace or take them to the island’s serene sandy beach. During low tide, a stunning natural sandbar emerges between Chicken Island and the nearby Tup Island, creating a unique pathway known as "Talay Waek" or "Separated Sea." This sandbar connects the two islands, allowing you to walk across from one to the other with the sea gently lapping at your feet on both sides. It’s a truly picturesque and rare phenomenon, perfect for taking a stroll, snapping photos, or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. The shifting tides make this a temporary wonder, so experiencing it is a special highlight of the tour. Chicken Island offers something for everyone on this tropical adventure.
  • At Phra Nang Cave Beach, the final stop on your Private sunset cruise, the adventure takes on a magical twist. As the sun sets and the night settles in, the waters come alive with a glowing spectacle—bioluminescent plankton! Slip into the warm, shallow waters and watch in awe as every movement sparks a shimmering blue glow, like swimming among stars. This unique natural phenomenon feels almost surreal, creating a moment that’s equal parts thrilling and tranquil. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your day of island hopping, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this hidden gem in Railay. This dazzling experience is something you won’t want to miss. Dive into this glowing world and capture the magic—there’s truly nothing else like it!
