137 Pillars Spirit

While scheduled options include the following, personalized itineraries can be arranged in accordance with guests’ specific requirements.

Phang Nga and Surrounding Islands

Some of the smaller islands off the coast of Phuket offer unique sights and are easily accessible by boat. The pristine waters are excellent for snorkelling and diving, with inviting sandy beaches perfect for swimming and relaxing. Sail through sparkling lagoons and see the majestic limestone cliffs and overhanging rock formations. Canoes can be rented from local suppliers to sail into interior lagoons to see spectacular tropical rainforest.

Mai Ton and Racha Islands

Just south of Phuket, the Racha Islands with secluded coves, clear waters and powdery beaches are a haven for fishing aficionados. This area often attracts larger marine life such as giant barracudas, reef sharks, manta rays and occasionally a whale. To find the best spots it is recommended to hire a fishing guide. Vibrant and diverse marine life congregate round the hard coral reef and granite boulders, with underwater visibility up to 30 meters in good conditions. The water is crystal clear for swimming and snorkelling with plenty of areas to visit. Along the way lies the secluded private Island of Mai Ton with white beaches away from the main tourist thoroughfares which can be accessed for a fee.

Krabi or the Phi Phi Islands

Extend your trip into the Andaman Sea and Krabi where you visit the amazing ‘Hong’ islands along the way and visit white sandy beaches only accessible by sea. Alternatively, cruise to the beautiful Phi Phi archipelago; a cluster of islands that house some of the bay’s most spectacular sights. This area is famous for its clear turquoise waters. Visit Bamboo Island, Monkey Beach, Railay and Maya Bay which became famous in the 1998 movie “The Beach” with Leonardo di Caprio.
