Coral Island (Koh Hey) excursion

Home Excursions Coral Island (Koh Hey) excursion

A tour to Coral Island, also known as Koh He off the coast of Phuket, is the perfect choice for beach lovers.

The boat ride from Phuket takes only about 20 minutes. Tourists can enjoy the crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches of Coral Island in Thailand, which are perfect for snorkeling. By the way, a law banning fish feeding has been in effect for several years, and violators risk being fined for non-compliance, so keep that in mind.

On the island, you can also try parasailing, ride banana boats, or simply relax on the beach with a cocktail in hand. The tour often includes a light lunch served right on the beach.

Koh Hey (Coral Island) is considered one of the most convenient snorkeling spots near Phuket, especially for beginners. The main snorkeling areas are located near the main beach and along coastal zones with a rocky seabed. Masks and snorkels are often included in the tour price or available for rent.

Underwater, you can spot colorful tropical fish, small coral formations, sea urchins, and other small marine creatures.

It’s important to remember that feeding fish is prohibited by law, and violations are subject to fines.

Despite its compact size, the island has several beaches. The main one is Long Beach, featuring fine white sand, a gentle entry into the water, and amenities such as sun loungers, umbrellas, cafes, and bars.

Paradise Beach and lesser-known stretches of coastline are suitable for those seeking a bit more privacy and tranquility.

Who the Coral Island excursion is suitable for:

  • families with children — a short transfer (about 20 minutes) and calm waters
  • snorkeling beginners — comfortable depth and good visibility
  • those who do not tolerate long boat rides well
  • beach lovers looking for relaxation without extreme activities
  • photographers and lovers of scenic shots — white sand, turquoise water, and tropical landscapes

A tour to Coral Island is a wonderful way to escape the noise and crowds, enjoy natural beauty, and indulge in marine activities while staying close to the main tourist routes.
