Andaman Islands by Sail

Meet your guide at the hotel this Sunday morning for the transfer to Chalong Pier, where the Amadeus Cabin Cruise awaits (no guide accompanies the cruise itself once underway). Meet fellow travellers over a welcome drink as the crew loads luggage, followed by a short orientation and safety briefing before setting sail. The first stop is Koh Maithon, where calm, clear waters make for an easy introduction to swimming and snorkelling. Enjoy a Thai buffet lunch onboard, then cruise on with a chance to spot bottlenose dolphins, often seen in these waters. In the evening, explore Koh Phi Phi's lively village before returning to the boat for dinner and a relaxed night on deck under the stars. Overnight on board.

Early risers can join an optional hike to Koh Phi Phi's viewpoint, a manageable climb rewarded with sweeping island views. After breakfast onboard, sail on to Koh Lanta, with time to relax and hear the crew's stories of life at sea in Thailand. On arrival, choose between water-based activities or a 1.5-hour hike to a nearby waterfall. As the sun sets, spend more time in the water before heading ashore for dinner at a beach restaurant, complete with a traditional fire show. Overnight on board.

Start the day early at the Emerald Cave on Koh Mook, swimming through the cave's entrance to reach a hidden beach enclosed by towering limestone cliffs. Continue to Koh Rok Nok, known for excellent snorkelling, with lunch served onboard. In the evening, enjoy a beach BBQ on the island, national park permission allowing (if conditions don't allow, dinner is served back on board instead). Spend the night relaxing on deck under the stars. Overnight on board.

This morning, hike Koh Rok, a steeper climb rewarded with beautiful views. Afterward, sail to Koh Ha for snorkelling among the reefs, then continue to Maya Bay for kayaking and paddleboarding. As evening falls, watch the sunset before entering the water after dark for a swim among glowing bioluminescent plankton, one of the trip's most memorable moments. Overnight on board.

Begin the day with an early visit back to Maya Bay, or snorkelling near the surrounding cliffs. After breakfast, sail south to Koh Racha Yai for further snorkelling and time to explore the island. The day winds down with another sunset at sea and dinner onboard. Overnight on board.

Enjoy a final morning swim before setting sail back to Phuket. On arrival at the pier, meet your guide for the transfer to Phuket Airport or your hotel.
