The speedboat cuts a bright line across the Andaman Sea as Phuket recedes and Coral Island, or Koh Hey, rises on the horizon — two long white beaches framed by shallow turquoise. Shore-break laps at your feet; the reef hums just beyond the surf, daring you to step into the water and meet it.

The speedboat cuts a bright line across the Andaman Sea as Phuket recedes and Coral Island, or Koh Hey, rises on the horizon — two long white beaches framed by shallow turquoise. Shore-break laps at your feet; the reef hums just beyond the surf, daring you to step into the water and meet it.
Geologically the island is a low, coral-built platform rather than a karst tower, with a small hill that rewards a five‑minute climb and a quiet cove on the lee side. Historically it’s been a fishing outpost for local communities and today the island’s economy centers on day visitors arriving by fast craft. The culture is straightforward: relaxed beach service, simple Thai lunches, and small vendors near the landing.
Expect easy snorkeling right off the sand — shallow reefs within 20–100 meters — plus a menu of activities: parasailing, banana boat, sea walking, discover scuba and kayaking. The full operation runs about 7 hours and includes speedboat transfers from Phuket (roughly 10 km / 6 miles offshore), lunch, life jackets and guides.
Practical guidance: leave early for calmer seas and better visibility; carry reef‑safe sunscreen, a light rashguard and a waterproof pouch for your phone. If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive meds before boarding. Operators provide basic gear and towels, but sizes and quality vary — bring your own mask if you are picky. Children and seniors have activity restrictions; check age and health rules before booking.
This trip is ideal for first‑time snorkelers and families who want a compact day of varied water activities without long transit time from Phuket.
Speedboat transfers are about 20–30 minutes depending on the pickup point in Phuket and sea conditions; the island lies roughly 10 km south of Phuket.
Yes — the reef off the main beaches is shallow and accessible from shore; children (4–9) can snorkel with adult supervision but may be restricted from other activities.
The day trip offers a menu of activities (parasailing, banana boat, sea walking, discover scuba, kayaking); check which are included versus optional extras when booking.
