About This Trip
Private Longtail to Coral Island
Coral Island, known locally as Koh Hey, is the closest island paradise to Rawai Beach — just 45 minutes by private longtail boat. This makes it the perfect choice for families, first-time visitors, or anyone looking for a quick escape to turquoise water and powder-white sand without spending half the day traveling.
The island lives up to its name: vibrant coral reefs sit just offshore, making it one of the best snorkeling spots near Phuket. Strap on a mask and you'll immediately see why this island is a favorite — tropical fish in every color, gentle currents, and water so clear you can see the bottom from the boat.
Because you're on a private charter, you control the schedule. Want to arrive early before the tour groups? Leave at 8 AM. Prefer a lazy afternoon with a sunset return? Your captain will make it happen. There's no rush, no itinerary imposed on you, and no sharing the boat with strangers.
Coral Island has several beaches to explore. Your captain can drop you at South Beach for swimming, West Beach for quieter sand, or Northwest Beach for the best snorkeling. You can even beach-hop during your trip if you want to see more than one spot.
For families with children, Coral Island is hard to beat. The water is calm and shallow near shore, there are facilities and food options, and the short travel time means kids won't get restless. It's also a great option for a half-day trip if you have other plans in the afternoon.
