After a morning swim on the beautiful beaches of Koh Team, we will sail to Koh Phalui: this large island, 5 miles south of Ang Thong Park, is managed by park keepers. The entire east coast is dedicated to collecting bird nests and anchoring is not allowed. However, on the north coast there is a beautiful beach that is well sheltered from the south and west. During the day, you will have lunch in Koh Phaluai and enjoy swimming or water sports (snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking), and then head to Ang Thong National Park and spend the night in this beautiful unspoiled nature.

After lunch, we'll sail to Koh Tao, a small granite island north of this area, known for its crystal clear waters. Our first overnight stay will be in Mango Bay, the only inhabited bay on the north coast of Koh Tao. Although it is crowded with motor boats and diving during the day, it is a quiet paradise in the early morning and late afternoon/evening, with pristine coral and excellent snorkeling.

We will take the whole day to explore the beaches, corals and coral reef along the eastern side of Koh Tao. Take advantage of the water sports equipment available on board (paddleboard, kayak, and snorkeling). For the night anchorage, we will head after 15:00 towards Shark Island, when the boats of the local diving boats move away and the crowds disperse. This anchorage offers bathing in sheltered and crystal clear waters with fantastic coral formations.

Today, we will sail to Koh Pha Ngan. Although known and crowded for the monthly full moon festival, towards its southeastern peninsula, Koh Pha Ngan offers quieter, white-sand beaches, including Ao Thonh Nai Pan and Bottle Beach, an ideal stop when sailing from Koh Tao. Bottle Beach, our anchorage for the night, is only accessible by boat or with a challenging hike. It is a lovely little bay with a few small resorts, coconut plantations and jungle.

After a morning swim, we'll head to have lunch at Haad Rin Rock on Koh Pha Ngan, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. After lunch, it will be time to head back to Koh Samui. We will set sail to our final anchorage, Ao Chaweng, a large open bay with several anchoring possibilities. Chaweng, the busiest stop of the week, is a long strip of shops, bars and restaurants, ideal for shopping or the last drink.
