The Ultimate Private Escape to Koh He

Just a short 15 to 30-minute cruise from Phuket’s southern shores lies Coral Island, locally known as Koh He. Booking a private boat allows you to bypass the crowded 'join-in' tours and discover the island's hidden corners on your own schedule. Whether you choose a charming traditional longtail for an authentic vibe, a high-speed catamaran for comfort, or a luxury yacht for the ultimate indulgence, your private charter provides exclusive access to vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Enjoy the famous Hornbills of Kahung Beach, snorkel in the calm waters of Banana Beach, or simply relax on the deck with a curated lunch as the Andaman Sea sparkles around you.

Historical Context

Formerly a quiet fishing outpost, Koh He became a designated tourism zone in the 1990s to protect its reefs while allowing managed access.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut through water glare for stunning turquoise shots
  • Early morning light is best for capturing the island's lush greenery.

Insider Tips

  • Go to the far end of Long Beach to find the quietest spots away from the speedboat docking area
  • Look for Hornbills in the trees behind the Kahung Beach restaurant around 3 PM.

Our Partners

  • Powered by Viator and Tripadvisor experiences.

Fun Facts

  • Coral Island is one of the few places in Thailand where you can see wild Hornbills right on the beach!

Absolute Perfection

Booking a private boat was the best decision. We had Banana Beach almost to ourselves before the big crowds arrived. The snorkeling gear was high quality and our guide was so helpful in finding the best reefs.

Great for Families

We booked the private longtail boat for our family of 5. It was much more comfortable than the shared boats. The kids loved seeing the turtles and the hornbills on the beach. Very well organized.

Luxury on the Water

The catamaran charter was stunning. The lunch provided was delicious Thai food and the staff treated us like royalty. Worth every cent for the privacy and comfort.

The platform made it so easy to compare prices. We ended up with a speedboat charter that was perfect. Instant confirmation meant no stress while we were already in Phuket.

Beautiful Snorkeling

So many fish! The water at Coral Island is so clear. Our private captain knew exactly where to drop the anchor away from the other tourists.

Unbeatable Views

The views of the Phuket coastline from the private yacht were incredible. Highly recommend doing the full-day tour to have enough time for both beaches.

Highlight of my Trip

Coral Island is a gem. Using a private boat allowed us to stay longer at the quiet end of Long Beach. The booking through the site was flawless.
