Your first stop is Kim Quy Island, home to one of the region’s most impressive hard coral reefs. Slip into crystal-clear water surrounded by dense coral formations alive with tropical fish. Take your time — there’s no rush when your group is this small.

Next, head to Buom Island where the seabed transforms into a garden of swaying soft corals in every shade of purple and gold. Join a fish-feeding session and watch schools of colorful reef fish gather around you.

After two immersive snorkeling sessions, the boat drops anchor at a quiet stretch of white sand on May Rut or Gham Ghi Island. The crew fires up a beachside BBQ spread of fresh seafood, grilled pork, chicken, and tropical fruit, paired with cold drinks and local beer.

With hotel pickup and drop-off, all snorkeling gear, and a full BBQ lunch included, the only thing you need to bring is a sense of adventure.
