Penang
Penang
Enjoy a welcome dinner on board with other guests. The following day, enjoy a tour of Penang’s old town, where you’ll find some historic colonial architecture lining the cobbled streets. After lunch at a local market, where you’ll have the chance to try local specialities such as Chinese-style char kway teow and spicy laksa, you’ll return to the boat by rickshaw for your onward journey to Langkawi.

Langkawi
Langkawi
Take a look around with your guide, who will show you the nautral and man-made attractions, including the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls, otherwise known as the Seven Wells, a collection of seven pools making up a waterfall where you can swim and even slide between the pools. In the evening, you’re free to dine out in Langkawi, or eat on board the boat; it’s up to you.

Koh Rok Noi
Koh Rok Noi
After a tasty beach barbecue on Adang Island, head on to Koh Rok Noi, a jungle clad island with some lovely beaches. The next morning, you’re free to chill out on the sands, swim in the seas or simply relax and do nothing at all.
Ao Nang

Then next day, take your pick from a wide range of optional activities. Try your hand at cooking in a Thai cookery class, go snorkelling in the crystal clear waters, treat yourself to a Thai massage or cycle to a waterfall. Tonight, the groups switch, with the other half heading for the homestay.
Koh Yao Yai
Koh Yao Yai
Try some of the local seafood, do some more swimming and snorkelling and generally soak up the charms of a tropical island. Tonight, as it is your last night on board, you’ll be treated to the rather swish Captain’s dinner, an a la carte meal taken while the sun sets over the ocean.
