The Full Day
Updated 16 June 2026 · We visit. We don't sell placement.
The classic. First ferry over, two beaches, a watersport or a viewpoint, a proper seafood lunch, and the late ferry home.
Good for: Anyone wanting the complete day-trip without the overnight.
The full day is the sweet spot for a first visit — enough time to see two beaches, get in the water properly, add a viewpoint or a watersport, and have a long lunch, without the commitment of an overnight. Land early, base yourself somewhere good, and use a songthaew or a scooter to mix a lively beach with a quieter one. It's the itinerary we'd point most people to.
