With our friends Sam and Caroline, we went on a 7 Islands Snorkel and Sunset tour. We started out on a long tail boat that once again broke down in the middle of the sea. After about 45 minutes of waiting, a replacement arrived and we were off to the first snorkel destination. Some creatures we saw were: Nemo's (Clown Fish), Box fish, Moorish Idols, Lion Fish, Parrot Fish, Christmas Tree Worms, jellyfish, and some interesting coral. A highlight at the first stop was a pretty large squid that Sam and I tried to catch using a box but failed miserably. The boat driver tried too, but missed spearing it with a stick. It would have been some good eating!
After another snorkel location around a beautiful island, it was off to the Sea Beach here for sunset. There are 3 islands connected by a sand bar that changes with the tides! As you can see, it is a pretty amazing location and the sunset didn't disappoint. It was the best we have seen on our entire trip so far. Check Flickr for an even better sunset photo.
So, we enjoyed a few beers on this beach, a good meal and then our drunken long tail boat driver took us home, singing the whole way. There was a little stop for a swim in the glowing phosphorescence, before arriving back on East Railay. A pretty sweet evening! *Stub
