The Khai islands form a trio about thirty minutes by speedboat from the east coast of Phuket. In a small area they gather most of what you look for in the Andaman Sea: white sand, shallow water and reefs you can reach from the shore.
Khai Nok, the largest, opens the day with a long stretch of sand, loungers for hire and beach restaurants. Khai Nui, the smallest and quietest, is the one for snorkelling: the reef starts right off the sand, with clownfish, parrotfish and plenty of shoals. Khai Nai closes the day, between swimming and doing nothing. The water stays shallow throughout, which suits less confident swimmers.
Two departures are offered for this half-day excursion: a morning slot from 8am to about 12pm or 12.30pm, and an afternoon slot from 12.30pm or 1pm to about 4.30pm or 5pm. Please tell us which slot you want when you make your booking request. Exact times may vary slightly with the day's arrangements.
Good to know: a child rate applies from 4 to 11, at 24 € instead of 27 €, and it is free under 4. It is applied when your request is confirmed.
Please note: the return transfer from your hotel is included. Additional charges may however apply depending on your pick-up location; any such amount will be confirmed according to the address of your accommodation.
