3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day)

Activity provider: VGA Vacation

Highlights

  • This is the 1st island that you will swim, snorkel and relax on
  • We will jump off the boat to snorkel in the deep waters of Khai Nui
  • Also know as Cat Island, there are cat in the beach huts it is a mystery how they arrived there

Three low coral islands off Phuket — Khai Nai, Khai Nok and Khai Nui — make up this VGA Vacation speedboat trip, a cheaper alternative to the operator’s own premium-priced Khai Islands listing on the same route. Arrival is self-organised rather than a scheduled hotel pickup: turn up by 9:00 am for the morning or full-day option, or 1:00 pm for the afternoon slot.

The stops run Khai Nai first for a swim on a quiet white-sand beach, then Khai Nui for a deeper-water snorkel around larger coral (about 30 minutes in the water), then Khai Nok — nicknamed Cat Island, where a small resident cat colony living in the beach huts has become part of the stop. Full-day bookers get several extra hours on Khai Nok rather than a quick pass-through.

Lunch, tea and coffee, bottled water, soft drinks and use of snorkelling equipment are included; air-conditioned transport runs between pickup and the pier. Beach chairs and sunbeds on the islands are not included — they’re rented on the spot from island vendors.

Watch out: this listing has no free cancellation. The policy states all sales are final and no refund is issued once booked, so confirm dates before paying. Travellers 65 and over should also note the operator’s insurance does not cover that age group, and guests with a mobility disability need to book a private boat rather than this shared departure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time should I arrive?
Morning and full-day trips need you at the pier by 9:00 am; afternoon trips need you there by 1:00 pm.
Is this suitable for kids?
Yes — the waters at the Khai Islands are shallow and clear, which the operator recommends for families and first-time snorkellers. Boat rides are just 20 to 25 minutes.
Are beach chairs free on the islands?
No. Beach chairs and sunbeds are rented from local vendors on the islands and are not included in the tour price.
What's the difference between half and full day?
Half-day options (morning or afternoon) are a quick escape for snorkelling and swimming. Full-day adds around 4 hours of beach time on Khai Nai plus an authentic Thai lunch.
