Amethyst Day Cruise offers an exciting itinerary like many overnight cruises. The 7.5-hour cruise packs excursions to Sung Sot Cave - the largest cave with majestic stalactites and stalagmites, Titop Island with a stunning beach and spectacular view on the top of the mountain, and Luon Cave - a tranquil area for kayaking or taking a sampan boat.

The beautiful ocean-view restaurant treats guests to a bunch of seafood and local dishes in the buffet lunch. Don't miss refreshing drinks from the bar while watching the sunset from the top deck. A dip in the jacuzzi pool will be a nice way to relax the whole body at the end of your active day.
