Koh Rok and Koh Haa Islands

Home Excursions in Phuket Koh Rok and Koh Haa Islands

Thailand is famous for its enchanting nature, warm azure sea and beautiful islands with sand beaches. One of such places are Koh Rok (Koh Rok Yai and Koh Rok Noi) and Koh Haa islands, which are located in the southern part of the Andaman Sea. They can be reached from Phuket with a group tour or by hiring an individual speed boat. It is necessary to keep in mind that the road to the islands is quite long. This excursion will suit those who like solitude and quiet rest and want to see the amazing underwater world, because the Rok and Haa islands are one of the best ones for snorkeling. On Koh Rok you will find coral beaches with fine white sand and crystal clear sea, as well as a small infrastructure in the form of a small shop-restaurant and camping (some stay here for more than a day). Along the beach line there are Australian pine trees, which provide excellent shade for feeling comfortbale here even in the heat of the afternoon. The island is also a great place to watch varanas, a large number of tropical birds and visit a viewpoint. Once on Koh Rok, you should also visit Koh Haa, which is a small archipelago of five limestone rocks and is a 30 minutes away from Koh Rok. Here you can not go ashore and there is almost no vegetation, but the lively and colorful world on the bottom of the sea in this place will not leave you indifferent – marine life is very rich in this location.
