Seafaring

Sunset Longtail Cruise

Koh Samui, Gulf Coast

Best Time to Do This

Late afternoon into sunset, dry season (December to August) for the calmest water and clearest sky over the Gulf.

What to Expect

A slower, more traditional alternative to a catamaran sail — an open wooden longtail boat with its distinctive long propeller shaft, cruising along Koh Samui's coast as the sun drops, closer to the water and with a rawer, more local feel than a resort-style sunset cruise.

How to Prepare

Life jackets should be worn even on calm water in an open boat. Bring a light layer for the evening breeze and keep phones or cameras in a dry bag — longtails sit lower and can take some spray.
