Adventure Tours in Koh Samui, Thailand

On this incredible voyage, you will breathe in the tranquility of Malaysia's Tioman Island, navigate your way up the winding Kumai river in Borneo, prime your camera lenses for a shot of the world's only living species of dragon in the Komodo National Park and drop anchor in amongst the spectacular scenery of Indonesia's Raja Ampat archipelago. What an adventure! For S/Y Vela's 24 shipmates, the experience begins when you step off the plane and out of the airport into the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, one of Southeast Asia's most cosmopolitan cities. The noises, the language, the smells, and the traffic are all bound to send your senses into a whirl; but don't become too accustomed as you are about to trade the bright city lights for those "red-over-green" sailing lights and depart onward into the Gulf of Thailand and towards Bali. In between, you get to master the ropes of a classically-rigged, modern-day sailing yacht. 90 days, 12 credits and 4,500 nautical miles, this is an academic adventure of a lifetime!
