Half-Day Kai Island Snorkeling Tour

Kai Island is a small uninhabited island just 30 minutes from Phuket. Sheltered by Phuket’s island, it is less affected by the monsoon, allowing beach activities and snorkeling all year round. In the crystal-clear waters, numerous fish swim right up to the shore. Half-day tours are available in the morning and afternoon, making it easy to combine with other tours.

Just a 15-minute speedboat ride from Phuket brings you to stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. Even during Phuket’s rainy season when swimming may be restricted, Khai Island often remains swimmable thanks to its eastern location shielding it from the west monsoon. Relax on the white sandy beaches of the small uninhabited Khai Nok Island or snorkel right from the speedboat near the nearby reef of Khai Nui Island. The surrounding waters feature thriving table corals and branching corals, perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts. This half-day tour is ideal for those wishing to combine it with Phuket Fantasea, Simon Cabaret, or spa experiences, making it a top choice to fully enjoy Phuket.

The Phi Phi Islands consist of six islands located 42 km from Krabi on the Malay Peninsula and 45 km south of Phuket. A top destination for sightseeing and snorkeling, it is the most popular optional tour offered by HOBO-YA Phuket. The islands’ limestone formations create dramatic and mystical landscapes that captivate travelers. Among the Phi Phi Islands, only Phi Phi Don has a town and port, serving as the central hub. The famous Maya Bay, featured in the movie “The Beach,” is on nearby Phi Phi Leh, a hotspot for snorkeling and diving adventures.
