After meeting the guide at Nikorn Marine’s office at Ao Chalong Pier, travel by speedboat to Coral Island. Spend the morning relaxing on the beach or enjoying optional sea activities such as scuba diving, sea walking, parasailing, banana boat, SUP board, or canoeing. These activities are available at additional cost unless included in the option booked.
Later, take a short speedboat ride to a snorkeling point before returning to Kahung Beach for a buffet lunch at Kahung Restaurant. After lunch, enjoy more free time on the beach before returning to Chalong Pier and transferring back to your hotel.

We visited Thailand and our trip was well organized. Our experience was very nice. All the services were good and the hotels were also good. Well spent Thai Evening
We booked this tour based on reviews and everyone was right, it is great.
An amazing way to discover Bangkok. In krabi the stay was good.. Travel to nearby places were very good.. Hotel staff were very good.. In Phuket (Patong) the place was horrible.. The hotel you suggested was very bad..
