You step off the speedboat onto coarse white sand as the island wind pushes the sea around your ankles—Coral Island (Koh Hey) has a way of insisting you slow down. Morning coffee on Rawai’s Nonthasak Pier loosens sleep from your shoulders; by 9:30 the Coral Beach Club spreads out ahead: a strip of beach, a low ridge of broken corals, and palms that shade short, bright conversations.

You step off the speedboat onto coarse white sand as the island wind pushes the sea around your ankles—Coral Island (Koh Hey) has a way of insisting you slow down. Morning coffee on Rawai’s Nonthasak Pier loosens sleep from your shoulders; by 9:30 the Coral Beach Club spreads out ahead: a strip of beach, a low ridge of broken corals, and palms that shade short, bright conversations.
Geologically simple but ecologically intricate, Koh Hey is a low limestone-and-sand formation sheltering fringing coral communities. The island’s beaches were historically used by local fishers and today see a steady pulse of day visitors from Phuket. Marine life here is bold and approachable: chromatic reef fish, anemones swaying on the edge of shallow bommies, and the occasional sea turtle gliding through the reef garden.
On this half-day run you’ll split time between shore downtime and a guided snorkeling session at Hin Dam Bay—the island’s leeward side where shallows and visibility invite easy exploration. The boat includes basic comforts: life jackets, buffet lunch aboard, and transfers from Patong, Karon, Kata and Phuket Town.
Practical edge: water temperatures stay warm year-round but visibility dips in monsoon months; bring a snug mask, reef-safe sunscreen, and a small dry bag. If you’re prone to seasickness, take a pill before boarding—speedboat crossings are short but brisk. Expect a relaxed, family-friendly pace with chances to swim, photograph shallow reefs, and trade island stories with the crew before the return to Phuket around mid‑afternoon.
The speedboat crossing is typically 20–30 minutes depending on sea conditions, faster from Nonthasak/Rawai than from more distant piers.
Yes—snorkeling at Hin Dam Bay is in shallow water with gentle currents; life jackets are provided and crew give basic guidance.
