Snorkeling in Phuket: Sunset Cruise to Koh Hey by CatamaranA sunset cruise from Phuket to Koh Hey (Coral Island) by sailing catamaran includes snorkeling equipment, a full dinner on board, and round-trip hotel transfers from Patong, Kata, Karon and other nearby areas. You depart from Ao Chalong Pier in the late afternoon, snorkel behind the island, swim and try sea sports on the white sand beach, then return to the boat for dinner while watching the sun drop behind Promthep Cape. The guide speaks English or Chinese, and the whole experience runs five to six hours.Is it for me?If you are staying in Patong, Kata, Karon or nearby areas without a car, the hotel pickup removes the need to arrange your own transport to the pier—you board from your hotel and return there after dark, so the whole day stays simple.
Phuket: James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay Premium Yacht TourYou’ll step onto a premium yacht in Phuket and cruise past limestone cliffs toward James Bond Island, kayak through hidden caves in Phang Nga Bay, and float inside Hong Islands’ quiet lagoon. Enjoy a Thai dinner at sunset with new friends before heading back—expect moments that stick with you long after you’re home.
Phi Phi Island & Maya Bay yacht cruise with gourmet lunchThis yacht cruise departs Royal Phuket Marina and sails the Andaman Sea to Maya Bay and Monkey Beach, with a maximum of 18 guests aboard a modern luxury vessel. You swim in Pi Lay Lagoon, snorkel in the bay, eat gourmet lunch on board, and return by sunset. Hotel pickup and drop-off in the Phuket area, welcome cocktail, snorkeling equipment, towels and soft drinks are included; a live guide speaks English and Thai.Is it for me?Cruise the Andaman Sea on a private yacht with gourmet lunch and swimming stops at Maya Bay and Monkey Beach—everything coordinated so you just show up and enjoy the views.
Snorkeling at Coral Island: Catamaran with Sunset & DinnerA half-day sailing catamaran tour from Phuket to Coral Island includes snorkeling at a coral reef, free time on Kahung Beach, Thai dinner onboard, and hotel pickup from Patong, Kata, Karon and other zones. The boat departs at 1:30 PM and returns by 7:30 PM, leaving your morning free and your evening anchored at Promthep Cape as the sun drops into the Andaman Sea.Is it for me?At eight hours door-to-door, this tour leaves your morning free and gets you back by evening, so it fits into a day with other plans. The snorkeling is in the early afternoon when the light is best, the beach time is unscheduled, and the sunset sail is the finale—not a rushed add-on at the end of a long day.
Phi Phi Islands snorkeling: two reefs, Maya Bay & Monkey BeachA full-day snorkeling tour of the Phi Phi Islands aboard a luxury yacht, with visits to Monkey Beach, Viking Cave, Maya Bay and two coral reefs. The itinerary includes a longtail boat excursion to Maya Bay, a buffet lunch served onboard, snorkeling equipment, water sports (paddle boards, water slides, glass-bottom boat), and park entry. Note: Maya Bay closes August 1–September 30 each year for environmental recovery, and the itinerary adjusts with extended water activities or sightseeing on Koh Phi Phi Don during that period.Is it for me?The eight to nine hour commitment means a full day on the water with four island stops and two snorkeling sessions, so you need to be comfortable entering and exiting the water multiple times and spending extended time aboard the yacht. Children from age 2 travel well on this route, and the pace suits families and older travelers, though anyone with spinal injuries, pregnancy or cardiovascular concerns should check with a doctor first.
Snorkeling Phuket: Racha Islands, 3 sites, turtles and raysSnorkel three sites around the Racha Islands, Phuket's most remote reefs, aboard a motor yacht with a guide in the water at every stop. The boat reaches sites most Phuket operators skip, meaning clearer water and denser marine life. Breakfast and lunch buffets are served onboard; kids from age 6 can join with provided life vests, masks and fins. Hotel pickup is available from Rawai, Naiharn, Kata, Karon, Patong, Kalim or Kamala.Is it for me?Book this if you want to reach Phuket's least crowded reefs and see marine life most day-trip boats miss—the remote Racha Islands mean clearer water and denser fish schools, turtles and rays than the standard routes closer to shore. The guide stays in the water with you at every stop, which matters if you want reassurance or if you're bringing children from age 6.
Snorkeling Phi Phi Islands from Phuket: Maya Bay & MaitonA 12-hour snorkeling day trip from Phuket to the Phi Phi Islands and Maiton Island aboard a traditional long-tail boat, with swimming at Maya Bay, coral reef exploration, a premium buffet lunch and afternoon tea served on board, water slide and paddle board access, and a resident DJ. Hotel pickup from the Phuket area is included, as are snorkeling equipment, a beach kit with towel and flip-flops, and all national park fees. An English-speaking guide leads the group; children from age 4 are welcome.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full-day family snorkel trip with young children (from age 4) where an English-speaking guide handles all commentary, so you can focus on the experience rather than managing logistics.
Phuket Snorkeling Private Catamaran Maiton Coral IslandsA private catamaran snorkeling trip from Chalong pier in Phuket visits Maiton and Coral islands, with hotel pickup, snorkeling equipment, lunch on board and an English-speaking guide included. The itinerary runs from 10am to 8pm and can be customized to your preferences. Island entrance fees are optional depending on which islands you choose to visit.Is it for me?This is a private boat, so your group sets the pace and the guide adjusts the stops to what you want — ideal if you want to linger in the water or skip a site entirely. If you'd rather follow a fixed schedule with other travelers, a shared tour keeps costs lower and the timing locked in.
