The catamaran slips away from Chalong Pier as the Andaman Sea smooths out into a sheet of shifting blues. Salt air pushes at your jacket and the hull hums beneath—onboard, conversations fold into the sound of the ocean while the captain plots a lazy arc toward Coral Island (Koh Hae) and the southern tip of Phuket.

The catamaran slips away from Chalong Pier as the Andaman Sea smooths out into a sheet of shifting blues. Salt air pushes at your jacket and the hull hums beneath—onboard, conversations fold into the sound of the ocean while the captain plots a lazy arc toward Coral Island (Koh Hae) and the southern tip of Phuket.
Coral Island is a short hop from the island’s southeastern coast, formed from ancient coastal rock and fringing coral that supports colorful reef life. Promthep Cape, passed on the return leg, has been a mariner’s landmark for generations and is now a local pilgrimage at sunset. The trip mixes modern leisure—buffet dinner served aboard by early evening—with Thailand’s long fishing and seafaring culture: small piers, longtail boats, and reef patches that still draw snorkelers.
Expect about six hours from hotel pickup to return (roughly 11:00–19:00). Time on Kahung/Long Beach gives you two hours to snorkel, swim, or book optional parasailing and sea-walking. Later, the catamaran rounds scenic headlands and drops anchor at sheltered snorkel spots; the crew lays out snorkeling gear and a light buffet by late afternoon as the boat slides toward sunset.
Practical notes: bring reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes, carry motion-sickness remedies if prone, and have small cash for optional watersports. The sea can move from glassy to choppy depending on the monsoon—captains will adjust the route for safety. For a relaxed half-day on the water that ends with a sunset and Thai dinner, this cruise balances activity and ease—good for moderately fit travelers who want accessible snorkeling without committing to a liveaboard or full-day dive trip.
moderate.
4–6 hours.
Moderate fitness recommended—able to climb ladders, swim short distances, and stand on deck for periods
The excursion is about six hours door-to-door: hotel pickup (~11:00), transfer to Chalong Pier, 1–2 hours on Coral Island (Kahung/Long Beach) for snorkeling and optional watersports, then cruising stops en route to Promthep Cape for sunset and dinner before returning to the pier (~19:00).
Basic snorkeling equipment and a light buffet dinner served on board are included; specialty activities (scuba, parasailing, sea-walking) are available for an extra fee on the island.
Families can join, but infants must sit on laps and non-swimmers should use life vests supplied by the operator; supervision is essential during beach and water activities.
Operators cancel or reroute in rough seas or heavy rain for safety; check the cancellation policy (full refund typically if canceled 24+ hours in advance or due to weather).
Promthep Cape has long been a maritime landmark for sailors rounding Phuket’s southern tip; the area’s fishing villages shaped local cuisine and boat-building traditions.
Coral reefs around Coral Island are vulnerable to bleaching and physical damage; choose operators who promote reef-safe sunscreen, no-touch snorkeling, and responsible anchoring.
