Coral Island (Banana Beach) Tour

Coral Island is surrounded by emerald green waters off Phuket and is the most popular island for year-round marine activities. From Chalong Bay, Phuket, it’s just a 15-minute speedboat ride, making it ideal for those worried about seasickness or planning to join other tours afterward. The island offers tropical-themed facilities, providing shelter during sudden rain showers, with full amenities including toilets, showers, changing rooms, and lockers. At Banana Beach, you can relax, snorkel, or enjoy popular marine activities like parasailing and banana boating (depending on the plan). Families, friends, and couples can all enjoy this tour together.

Others

The main attraction of Coral Island is the year-round availability of marine activities. Even when Phuket beaches are too rough for some activities, you can still enjoy banana boats, parasailing, or sea walking. Coral Island is also the closest of the nearby islands, making boat trips short and giving you ample time to join other optional tours. Snorkeling, feeding fish, or just relaxing on the beach are all popular options.

Coral Island is only 10-15 minutes by speedboat from Chalong Bay at the southern tip of Phuket. Even during rough seas, the boat navigates along the island’s sheltered areas, minimizing motion sickness. The beach side is protected from monsoon winds, making swimming possible year-round.
