This morning, embark on a traditional boat for a day of exploration at sea, accompanied by an English-speaking guide passionate about marine wildlife. Head towards the seagrass beds of Koh Libong, one of the last refuges for dugongs in Thailand, where these peaceful marine mammals, sometimes nicknamed “sea cows,” feed undisturbed. Sightings of a dugong are never guaranteed, but when one surfaces, it’s a rare and deeply moving experience. In the afternoon, paddle a kayak along the coast, another way to discreetly approach these animals without disturbing their environment. Swimming near the dugongs is not permitted here, in order to protect this vulnerable species and ensure the safety of everyone, both humans and animals. Return to your hotel at the end of the day, your heart still at sea, with the feeling of having had a truly precious and responsible experience.
