Coral Island Banana Beach Day Trip from Phuket

A full beach day on Coral Island

This Coral Island Banana Beach trip is about spending a long, easy day by the sea. The boat leaves Chalong Pier in the morning and lands you on the beach about twenty minutes later. You can swim, snorkel right from the shore, paddle a kayak and lounge in the shade until the afternoon, with a full lunch served on the beach. Banana boat rides, parasailing and other water sports are on offer for those who want some action.

Comparing the three packages

Beach Relax is the standard package: transfer, loungers, towels, life jackets, snorkel gear, a traditional kayak and lunch. It suits travellers who simply want sun, sand and a swim without extra outings.

Beach Relax + Snorkeling adds the main upgrade — an optional boat trip into open water to snorkel off the island — and swaps the traditional kayak for a clear-bottom kayak. Choose it if seeing fish and coral beyond the shoreline matters to you.

Premium includes the snorkeling boat trip too, plus a choice of activities: parasailing or a banana boat ride, and clear kayaks or the Instagram-famous swings. It is the best pick for couples and friends who want photos and a bit of adrenaline without paying for each activity separately on the beach.

Who it suits

Short transfers, snorkeling right from the beach and life jackets make Banana Beach a good fit for families with children. If you are pregnant, you must tell our manager when booking, otherwise you may be refused boarding at the pier. The guide on all packages speaks English.

Tips

Pickup is in the morning and you return to your hotel in the early evening, so bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a waterproof phone case for photos in the water. Towels are provided, but a change of clothes for the ride back is handy. Cash is useful for any extra activities not covered by your package.
