Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Coral Island Afternoon Tour cost?

Adults: ฿1,350. Children (4-11 years): ฿1,150. Infants (1-3 years): free. All prices include hotel transfer from free zone, speedboat transport, mask/snorkel/life jacket, beach chair, English-speaking guide, and injury insurance.

What days does this tour operate and are there seasonal restrictions?

From 28 May to 31 October, this tour operates on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday only. Outside this seasonal window (1 November to 27 May), the tour may operate on additional days — contact Phuket Tours Direct to confirm availability for your specific dates. If you need daily availability during the restricted season, the Coral Island Full Day Tour operates every day of the week.

Is this tour suitable for young children and families?

Yes — this is one of the most family-friendly tours available from Phuket. The speedboat ride from Chalong Pier to Coral Island takes only 15 minutes, minimising seasickness risk. The island's waters are shallow and calm, ideal for young snorkelers. Children aged 4-11 receive a discounted price of ฿1,150. Infants aged 1-3 travel free. Note: children under 1 year old are not allowed on this tour. Persons over 70 are also not permitted.

Who is NOT allowed on this tour?

Pregnant women, children under 1 year old, and persons over 70 years old are not allowed on this tour. All other ages are welcome, including infants aged 1-3 (free of charge) and seniors up to 70 years old.

How close is Coral Island to Phuket and how long is the boat ride?

Coral Island (Koh Hae) is only 10 km from Phuket and just 15 minutes by speedboat from Chalong Pier. It is the closest island to Phuket, making it ideal for a half-day trip. The short crossing also means minimal seasickness risk compared to longer journeys to destinations like Phi Phi or the Similan Islands.

What can I do at Coral Island?

Coral Island has two long stretches of white-sand beach with vibrant coral reefs just offshore — ideal for snorkeling and fish feeding with your included mask, snorkel, and life jacket. A short walk over the island's hill leads to a secluded cove and quieter beach away from the main crowds. Relax on your included beach chair, snorkel, swim, or simply enjoy the tropical scenery. This tour does not include sea activities (parasailing, scuba diving, banana boat, or sea walking) — for those, see the Coral Island Afternoon Tour with Sea Activities.

Is lunch included?

No — lunch is not included on the afternoon tour. The tour departs at 12:15-12:30 and returns at 16:00-16:15, so there is no structured meal stop. We recommend eating before your hotel pickup. The Coral Island Full Day Tour (daily departures, from ฿2,050) includes lunch at Hey Restaurant on the island and gives you approximately 5 hours at Coral Island.

Are there hotel transfer fees?

Hotel transfers from these areas are FREE: Patong, Karon, Kata, Chalong, Nai Harn, Phuket Town, Rawai, and Tri Trang. Surcharges apply (round-trip, per person, paid in cash on tour day): Bang Tao, Boat Lagoon, Cape Panwa, Kamala, Koh Siray, Laguna, Laem Hin Pier, Royal Phuket Marina, Surin — ฿250 per person; Ao Po, Layan, Mai Khao, Nai Thon, Nai Yang — ฿2,000 private transfer (max 10 passengers).

What is the difference between this tour and the Coral Island Afternoon Tour with Sea Activities?

Both tours have the same timing (12:45-16:00 at the island, Mon/Wed/Sat only from 28 May–31 October) and depart from Chalong Pier. This basic tour (Adults ฿1,350 / Children ฿1,150) includes only snorkeling, beach time, and a beach chair — no extra activities. The Sea Activities version starts from ฿1,950 per person and adds your choice of parasailing, banana boat, scuba diving, or sea walking (pre-paid at booking, nothing extra at the island). Choose the basic tour for a relaxed, budget-friendly beach day; choose the sea activities version if you want thrills.

What time does the tour start and finish?

Hotel pickup is between 10:00 and 12:00 (your exact time confirmed by email 24 hours prior, depending on your hotel's location). The speedboat departs Chalong Pier at 12:15-12:30 and arrives at Coral Island at approximately 12:45. You have from 12:45 to 16:00 at the island — approximately 3 hours 15 minutes. The speedboat returns to Chalong Pier at 16:00-16:15, with hotel drop-off shortly after.
