Full description

This is a 4-hour experience from Phuket, built around Chalong Pier and Speedboat. It is run by Oh-Hoo, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Hotel transfers from Phuket town, Rawai, Naiharn, Patong, Speedboat ride, Life jacket, Mask and snorkel and Water. It does not cover Extra Transfer Charge 250 THB/PAX and Extra Transfer Charge 2,000 THB/Private Van, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Phuket. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Oh-Hoo before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Équipage du bateau correcte petit temps de trajet Le temps n’était pas en notre faveur ce jour ci malgré cela difficile de profiter de la plage car énormément de détritus dans l’eau (épluchures de fruits, barquettes en plastique, sac plastiques, bouteille, briquet…) nous avons préféré ne pas entrer dans l’eau. Restauration possible sur place avec quelques spot photos, et activités nautiques.

Less number of tourist in the small island. I can spend relaxed time, because beach walking pass of Phuket is full of tourist. For snorkel, variety of fish and coral are same with Kata beach south side.

der Strand von Coral Beach ist ein schöner weisser feiner Sandstrand. es war sehr windig und der übergang vom Boot zum Ufer sehr kippelig. für manche Personen nicht zu bewältigen. Schade dass der Strand nicht gesäubert wird und schade dass Leute ihren müll einfach wegwerfen.

The directions for the pick up were not effective. Phones were busy and the directions we were given kept taking us to Patong beach. As soon as we got on the shuttle everything a 5 star.

The weather was windy, so we couldn’t enjoy either the snorkeling or the swimming. The boat ride was very bumpy and quite dangerous. I had expected the staff or guide to warn us beforehand—especially since we had children with us—and to either let us proceed at our own risk or offer a refund. Long story short, avoid this activity if the weather is not perfectly sunny and calm.

the transit was smooth. infrastructure was great. however we missed the snorkeling as no announcement was made for the same. maybe they should provide some more snacks and information about the place and how it came to be. otherwise it was a good experience

Wir wurden pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt und fuhren mit dem Schnellboot zum Choral Beach. Dort haben wir 3 Stunden Freizeit bekommen. Man hatte die Möglichkeit, in dem Restaurant (alles halal) zu essen, im Meer zu schwimmen oder zu schnorcheln oder die dort angebotenen Aktivitäten (mit Aufpreis) auszuführen. Das Essen aus dem Restaurant war zwar lecker, jedoch brauchte die Bedienung über 40 Minuten, bis sie uns das Essen servieren konnte. Das Schnorcheln war auch spannend, jedoch wurde uns weder eine Sicherheitsanweisung gegeben noch erklärt, auf was man beim Schnorcheln achten muss bzw. wie di

It was nice to experience a small island off of Phuket. Did not like that we could not use our GoPro to film the sea walking activity under water. Tour guy said the company did not allow it and that the company would film us with their under water camera and we could purchase a copy at the end. The company never filmed us. Also did not like how the company caught the swimming fish in plastic bags and waving it around. Seems a bit agressive. The boat driver and helper were very nice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Phuket The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover extra transfer charge 250 thb/pax(round trip): panwa, boat lagoon, koh sirey, kamala, surin, bangtao, laguna, leamhin. and extra transfer charge 2,000 thb/private van(round trip): layan, naithon, naiyang, maikhao, ao por, airport.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The duration of the Coral Island Half-Day Tour by Speedboat is typically 4 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.

The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
