The 4 Sailing Tours in Thailand That Earn Their Price

1.Phuket: Coral Island Catamaran Cruise with Sunset Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 360 reviews · 6 hours · from $53Our pick

Cruise from Chalong or Rawai Pier to Koh Hey with an English-speaking guide, snorkeling, beach time, optional water sports, and a Thai buffet dinner at sunset near Promthep Cape. The catamaran is comfortable and usually relaxed, though the floating beach pontoon, variable snorkeling conditions, and extra activity fees matter.

“Great day out, would definitely recommend. An hour's boat ride to the snorkeling spot, then 15mins to the beach which we had an hour to relax at. Lovely sunset cruise back with dinner. Staff were very helpful.”
