The experience

The speedboat leaves Chalong Pier at 9am and takes you to Kahung Beach on Koh Hey, a quieter stretch of sand that sits apart from the crowded tourist zones. Once you arrive, the day is yours to shape: snorkel the reef, swim in the shallows, or settle into a beach chair on the white sand. The restaurant overlooks the water, and lunch is a set menu of Thai dishes served at noon on the full-day tour. Drinking water, fresh fruit and morning coffee or tea come with both options.

The half-day tour runs three times a week and departs at 12.30pm, giving you an afternoon on the island before the 4.30pm return. The full day stretches from 9am to 3.15pm, with more time to move between snorkeling and the beach. Hotel pickup is included from most central Phuket locations (Patong, Karon, Kata, Rawai, Naitharn, Yacht Club, Ban Krating, Chalong and Kalim Beach), though pickups outside these areas carry a 500-baht surcharge. The pickup window is 30 to 90 minutes before departure, and you'll arrange the exact time when you confirm your reservation.

Snorkel gear and masks are provided. Optional activities like parasailing, banana-boat rides and scuba diving are available for an extra charge and booked on the day. The tour operates year-round, though sea conditions and weather can alter the schedule. The operator reserves the right to cancel if conditions turn unsafe. Children from age 4 can join when accompanied by a paying adult, and the guide speaks English throughout the day.
