Coral Island Tour to Kahung Beach from Phuket
Coral Island sits just off Phuket's southern tip, so you spend your day on the beach rather than on the boat. At Kahung Beach you snorkel over coral, swim in clear water and relax on white sand with loungers and snorkel gear provided. Pick a half day, a full day with lunch, or a sailing catamaran trip that ends with sunset at Promthep Cape.

A beach day close to Phuket
A Coral Island tour from Phuket is one of the easiest sea trips on the island: the boat from Chalong Pier reaches the island in about twenty minutes, which makes it a good first outing or a relaxed break between longer excursions. Kahung Beach is a stretch of white sand where you can snorkel near the shore, swim and simply lie back on a beach chair.
Adrenaline is optional: the beach offers banana boat rides and parasailing for an extra fee, so everyone in the group can choose their own pace.
Which option to choose
Kahung half day picks you up around noon, so you can sleep in or have a lazy morning by the pool. You get swimming and snorkeling off Coral Island and a few hours on Kahung Beach; lunch is not included.
Kahung Beach full day leaves in the morning and includes lunch on the beach, giving you the longest time on the sand and still getting you back to your hotel by late afternoon. It is the best value if you want a full, unhurried beach day.
Coral + Promthep sunset on a sailing catamaran is the most atmospheric choice. After time on the beach and a snorkeling stop in a nearby bay, dinner is served on board, you can try casual fishing, and the catamaran sails to Promthep Cape to watch the sun go down over the sea.
Who it suits and tips
Short transfers and gentle beach time make this trip comfortable for families with children and for travellers who dislike long boat rides. If you are pregnant, tell our manager when booking, otherwise you may not be allowed to board at the pier. The beach programs run with an English-speaking guide. Bring swimwear, sunscreen, a hat and cash for water activities; fins are available for rent, and pickup from remote areas may cost extra on the catamaran option.
