The speedboat cuts through the Andaman like a pen writing a quick line between islands — spray hitting your face, a chorus of gulls overhead, and the skyline of Phuket shrinking behind you.

The speedboat cuts through the Andaman like a pen writing a quick line between islands — spray hitting your face, a chorus of gulls overhead, and the skyline of Phuket shrinking behind you.
This full-day excursion launches from Chalong Pier and moves first to Coral Island (Koh Hey) for shallow swims and white sand, then on to Racha Yai where fringing reefs unfurl in turquoise shallows. Geologically these islands are limestone outcrops and coral platforms shaped by sea-level change and living reef growth; culturally the waters have supported Phuket’s fishing communities and a modern tourism economy built around day trips and seafood.
Expect wide sand bars at low tide, shallow coral gardens full of angelfish and parrotfish, and a simple lunch at Coco Bar Seaview where southern Thai flavors meet ocean views. Guides provide masks, snorkels and life jackets; the pace is relaxed — swim, snorkel, sunbathe, repeat.
Practical guidance: departures usually start early with hotel pickup from Patong; total tour time is about eight hours. Choose morning onshore seats for calmer water and clearer visibility. Wear reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes, and secure valuables in a dry bag — speedboat decks get wet. If you’re prone to seasickness bring medication or ginger; if you want better photo visibility, bring your own fitted snorkel mask. Operators limit group sizes and include insurance and entrance fees, but reef health is fragile — avoid standing on coral and dispose of trash properly.
The tour is ideal for travelers who want a high-value, low-logistics day at two of Phuket’s most accessible islands.
Yes — basic masks, snorkels and life jackets are provided, though many travelers bring a personal mask for fit and clarity.
Pickup and drop-off from Patong-area hotels are typically included; exact pickup time depends on hotel location and is confirmed after booking.
Yes — life jackets are provided and infants must sit on an adult’s lap; however, supervision is required and non-swimmers should remain in shallow areas or on the beach.
Standard policy usually allows a full refund if canceled at least 24 hours before departure; operators may run trips in light rain but reschedule if conditions are unsafe.
