1 : Hat
Yai – Ko Lipae |
|  Start
your journey to the sea gypsy island, Ko Lipae with
crystal-clear water, verdant rain forest, pure white
sand beaches, birds, monkeys, and superb snorkeling.
Today we'll paddle around Ko Lipae, stopping periodically
to go snorkeling. The marine life here is among the
most diverse in the world.

2 : Ko
Lipae – Ko Adang |
|  Today
after breakfast, the escort boat will take us to the
far side of Ko Adang. Take a leisurely paddle back.
The jungle on this stretch of the island is thick
with tall tropical trees. A great place for paddling
and snorkeling.

| Day
3 : Ko
Adang – Ko Rawi – Ko Butang |
|  Ko
Rawi is our next goal. We'll paddle along the coastline,
stopping to explore secluded beaches and to go snorkeling.
Ko Butang and the other small islands
in the area provide us with a different feel from
the previous days. These islands are small enough
to paddle all the way around easily. This is perhaps
the best snorkeling day. We've found huge areas of
completely undisturbed coral. The marine life is abundant.
Huge Moray eels are very common. Large grouper can
still be found if you're willing to look under some
of the larger coral heads. One area has nice variety
of sea anemones. They cover a large portion of a bay.
Meals: B, L, D
Accom: Andaman Resort Bungalows |
| Day
4 : Ko
Butang – Pak Bara – Hat Yai |
|  After
breakfast, pack up and board the escort boat. On the
way back to Pak Bara, there are several islands that
are very different from the ones visited already.
There's a natural arch on one island that makes for
a wonderful photo opportunity. We'll take our time
exploring, paddling, and snorkeling before heading
back into Pak Bara.
On arrival in Pak Bara, transfer
to your accommodation or the airport in Hat Yai.
Meals: B, L
Accom: none
