Coral Island Phuket Snorkeling Tour with Sea Walking – What You Will Do
Hotel Pickup and Pier Check-In
Your day starts with hotel pickup between 8:30-9:00 AM. The exact time depends on your location. Hotels in Patong get picked up around 8:30 AM. Hotels in Kata or Karon around 8:45 AM. You’ll receive confirmation with your exact pickup time the evening before.
The air-conditioned minivan takes you to Ao Chalong Pier (15-40 minute drive depending on traffic). At the pier, check in at Nikorn Marine’s office. Staff gives you a colored sticker to wear that matches your boat group. Meet your tour guide here.
Safety Briefing and Boat Boarding
The speed boat holds 20-40 passengers but runs half-full most days. You’ll get soft drinks (water, Coke, Sprite) and a fruit plate (watermelon and pineapple). The boat has a covered roof area for shade.
Speed Boat Ride to Coral Island
The 15-minute ride crosses open water from Chalong Bay to Coral Island. The boat bounces over small waves (sit toward the back for a smoother ride). On clear days, you can see Coral Island from the pier before you even depart.
The captain pulls the boat right up to Kahung Beach. You wade through knee-deep water to reach shore. Ladies, wear dark-colored pants or shorts because light colors show water stains.
Beach Setup and Free Time
Your guide shows you to the beach chair area. Each person gets one plastic beach lounger. You can move chairs to find sun or shade. There are beach umbrellas available but limited quantity (first-come, first-served).
Leave your belongings on your chair. Lockers are available for rent (100 baht) if you brought valuables. Honestly? Leave expensive stuff at your hotel. Theft is uncommon but why risk it.
The water at Kahung Beach stays shallow for 30-40 meters out. Perfect for kids and weak swimmers. The sand is genuinely white (not that yellowish-gray sand you see at some beaches).
Guided Snorkeling Session
Around 11:00 AM, the guide takes interested guests to the snorkeling area. A small boat takes you about 10 minutes offshore to the reef. Water depth here is 8-10 feet. Visibility ranges from 15-25 feet depending on weather and tide.
You’ll see:
- Parrotfish (blue and green, they munch on coral)
- Angelfish (yellow with black stripes)
- Sergeant Major fish (vertical black stripes)
- Brain coral and staghorn coral formations
- Sea urchins (don’t step on these, they hurt)
- Sometimes clownfish (like Nemo) if you’re lucky
The snorkeling session lasts 30-40 minutes. If you’re nervous in water, you can hold a floating rope that the guide pulls. Kids under 8 usually use this rope system.
Not a strong swimmer? Wear your life jacket while snorkeling. You’ll float on the surface easily and can still see everything below.
Sea Walker Underwater Adventure (Optional Add-On)
If you booked the Coral Island Phuket Snorkeling with Sea Walking add-on, this happens around the same time as the snorkeling session, just at a different location.
A boat takes you to the Sea Walker platform about 200 meters from Kahung Beach. You climb down a ladder to a floating platform at water level. An instructor helps you put on a large helmet that looks like something from a 1960s space movie.
Air pumps into the helmet through a hose connected to a surface compressor. You can breathe totally normally through your nose and mouth. Your hair stays completely dry.
You descend another ladder to the ocean floor (15-20 feet deep). The helmet weighs enough that you don’t float up. You literally walk around on the sandy bottom while fish swim around you.
Total time underwater: 20 minutes. Total time including getting in and out of equipment: 35-40 minutes.
Who can’t do Sea Walker:
- Under 15 or over 60 years old
- Pregnant women
- Heart conditions or high blood pressure
- Respiratory problems (asthma, COPD)
- Recent ear surgery
- Anyone who flew within the past 18 hours or will fly within the next 18 hours
- Anyone under the influence of alcohol
Buffet Lunch at Kahung Beach Restaurant
At noon, everyone heads to the beachfront restaurant. The buffet setup changes daily but typically includes vegetarian selection, let us know when you book, and we’ll make sure there are options for you.
Afternoon Free Time
After lunch, you have about 2 hours of free time until 3 PM.
- Nap on your beach chair
- Swim and play in the shallow water
- Walk along the beach and take photos
- Get a Thai massage (available on the beach for about 400 baht per hour)
The beach isn’t huge (maybe 300 meters long), but it’s pretty and the water is genuinely beautiful.
Return to Phuket
At 3:00 PM, your guide starts gathering everyone. The boat leaves at 3:15 PM whether you’re on it or not. They’re serious about this. Late arrivals miss the boat and have to pay for private transport back (expensive).
Rinse off at the basic outdoor showers before boarding. The 15-minute boat ride back to Chalong Pier is usually calmer than the morning ride. You’ll arrive at the pier around 3:30 PM.
The minivan drops you back at your hotel. You should be back by 4:00-4:30 PM, which leaves plenty of time to shower and head out for dinner or evening activities.
