Reviews
Coral Island Phuket (Koh Hey)
is located just 10 kilometers south of Phuket on the way to Racha Island. The travelling time is around 15-20 minutes from the mainland, which is not far at all. visitors come to the island all year round, normally as families or in large groups.

Raya Island Phuket (Racha Island)

It is where you will experience white sandy beaches and emerald blue sea. A great variety of coral reefs and fish can be found in the area. Visitors often come to enjoy their day relaxing on the quiet beach or snorkel and dive to see the colorful corals.
Why Choose a Catamaran Tour to Coral & Raya Island
A catamaran tour to Coral Island and Raya Island offers a smoother and more relaxing experience than a traditional speedboat trip. The larger boat provides more space to move around, comfortable seating areas, and a more stable ride across the Andaman Sea — ideal for families, couples, and travelers who prefer a calmer journey. The reduced wave impact also helps minimize seasickness, especially during longer crossings. Between snorkeling stops and beach visits, guests can relax onboard, enjoy the sea breeze, and experience island hopping in greater comfort.
Water Activities at Coral Island
Coral Island Phuket is famous for its exciting beach activities and crystal-clear water. Besides swimming and snorkeling, visitors can enjoy optional water sports such as parasailing above the Andaman Sea, banana boat rides along the coastline, and sea walking experiences beneath the surface. These activities make Coral Island one of the most popular destinations in Phuket for adventure and fun on the water.

This Coral Island Phuket tour by catamaran was incredible. The sailing was smooth and relaxing. We loved snorkeling at Raya Island — the water was crystal clear and full of colorful fish. The lunch buffet on Kahung Beach was fresh and tasty. Perfect day trip from Phuket!

This Coral Island and Raya Island catamaran tour is a must-do. The snorkeling was some of the best I’ve done in Phuket. The beach at Kahung was beautiful and clean. Plenty of water sports if you want extra fun. The crew made the whole trip easy and enjoyable.

Fantastic catamaran tour to Coral Island and Raya Island! The water was so clear for snorkeling and the beach at Kahung was perfect to relax after lunch. We tried the banana boat and it was a blast. Great day out for couples or families visiting Phuket.
Ahmed Ali, Dubai –
Such a great Phuket day tour! The catamaran ride was very comfortable and fun. We snorkeled at Siam Bay and saw so many fish. The lunch buffet at Kahung Beach was delicious and the beach activities were worth it. Loved the vibe of Coral Island.
Nina Hoffmann, Vienna –
We did this Raya Island catamaran tour with friends and it was amazing. Snorkeling at Tue Bay was beautiful, and Patok Bay beach was stunning. The time at Kahung Beach Coral Island was so relaxing — I even tried parasailing. Definitely recommend this Phuket snorkeling tour!
