A full-day speedboat trip to Kahang Beach (Koh Hey). Kahang Beach is on an island 15–20 minutes away by speedboat and is popular with anyone who likes water sports. It lies off the southern part of Phuket province and can only be reached by speedboat, in about 15–20 minutes. Koh Hey is a small island, and not far from Phuket, which is why it works all year round. It suits anyone who likes being in the water: snorkelling, walking out to look at the coral, parasailing, the banana boat and paddleboarding — which is why they call it the island of fun, a place made for the sea.

Tour plan

Tour plan

  1. Pick-up from your hotel. (The time depends on where you are staying.)

  2. Check-in at the Nikorn Marine office. Names are checked and the guides go through the day.

  3. Departure by speedboat from Chalong pier for Kahang Beach on Koh Hey. On arrival the guide takes everyone down to the beach and explains what is available there. You will also see the hornbills being fed — they fly in to greet everyone. On the island all guests have free use of the beach loungers, and snorkelling gear from the service point. Kahang Beach offers water sports: banana boat, parasailing, diving, sea walking and clear kayaks (extra charge).

  4. Lunch at the Kahang Restaurant.

  5. Departure from Kahang Beach for Chalong pier.

  6. Safe arrival at Ao Chalong pier.

Parasailing It works on air pressure — the parachute is attached to a speedboat and lifts as the boat picks up speed. The same idea as flying a kite, except the parasail has seats for passengers. You get a view from up to 190 metres, and it feels like floating over the water like a bird. Snorkelling Koh Hey is an island of white beaches with shallow reefs right off the shore. The water is clear and the shoals of fish are still there. Underwater you find brain coral, mustard coral, staghorn and disc coral, with butterflyfish, parrotfish and angelfish among them. It is one of the better islands around here for snorkelling.
