Mangrove mazes, drift snorkeling and a hidden paradise
Our sea people have been sailing through Southeast Asia, weaving through local villages, visiting small fisheries, and mangrove channels. They discovered hidden coves, drift snorkeling spots, and a paradise called Bedil Island.
Here are some of our favorite recent trips shared by our community:
Sailing Around Langkawi Island
📍Pulau Rebak Besar, Langkawi, Kedawang, Kedah, Malaysia
"We just spent five incredible days sailing around Langkawi, weaving through local villages, visiting small fisheries, and exploring the maze of mangrove channels. Each night, we dropped anchor in hidden coves, completely alone with no other boats in sight.
The wildlife was unreal, monkeys swinging through the trees, sea eagles soaring above, and monitor lizards patrolling the shore. To top it off, our little boat cat had her first sailing lessons, making the trip even more memorable."

Heaven on earth whilst traveling through Indo
📍Sambelia, Kabupaten Lombok Timur, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia
"Wow we found a hidden paradise half way along this run and ended up staying for 3 nights. Island is called Bedil island where a bar, pool Resto and more are under construction. But they are open and serve cold beer, cocktails and basic food for now. We nicknamed this place heaven on earth it was so good. Hope the pics do it justice"

📍Tarutao National Park, Thailand
