Coral Island Snorkeling Tour By Speedboat From Phuket
Activity provider: Oh-Hoo
Highlights
- Coral Island, known locally as Koh Hey, is an absolute paradise only ten kilometers south of Phuket
Coral Island — known locally as Koh Hey — sits about 10 km off Phuket’s coast, reached by speedboat as part of a 6-7 hour day trip. What sets it apart from a full day out on open water is the swimming: the reef sits close enough to shore that snorkelers can wade in straight from the sand, which is why the tour suits first-timers and children as much as confident swimmers. A short walk over the island’s central hill leads to a second, quieter cove on the far side, giving two different beaches without a second boat ride.
The package covers gear (mask, snorkel and life jacket), a guide, accident insurance, and lunch served at Kahung Beach, plus drinking water, a soft drink and fruit on board. Hotel pickup is free from Phuket town, Rawai, Naiharn, Patong, Tritrang, Kalim, Kata and Karon; travelers staying in Bangtao, Laguna, Kamala, Panwa, Koh Sirey or further north around the airport pay a transfer surcharge on top of the base rate — worth checking against a hotel address before booking.
Banana boat rides, parasailing, sea walking and introductory scuba dives are set up on the island as optional extras outside the core package, so travelers who only want the beach-and-snorkel day can skip them without losing anything from the included itinerary. The trip isn’t recommended for anyone with spinal injuries, cardiovascular problems, or during pregnancy, and child tickets apply from age 4 to 11.
At 4.1 from 53 reviews, the rating sits respectably mid-pack rather than exceptional — a smaller sample than some of Phuket’s bigger island-hopping trips, worth weighing against the Coral Island attraction page before booking.
