Beautiful island, lovely white sand beach. Could do with more sun beds, but lots of deckchairs available. Decent lunch included. Only problem is if it’s rough (as it was for us, very rough) it is very difficult and dangerous walking along the moving jetty to and from the boat even with help!
Thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the beautiful island, the white sand beach, and the included lunch. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the sun beds and will certainly take it into consideration. We sincerely apologize for the difficulty you experienced with the moving jetty during rough sea conditions. Your safety is our top priority, and we understand how challenging that situation can be. We will review this carefully with our team to see how we can improve safety and assistance in such conditions. Thank you again for sharing your experience, your feedback truly helps us improve. We appreciate your honesty and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
20min in advance to let us know that we have to wait 3h longer for the transfer. The time was used for alcoholic cosiness to endure the whole thing. Definitely makes sense, because the trip goes a whole 2.5h instead of the promised 7h. Chang costs 120-160 bat on site, so it is better to stock up beforehand. Lg
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the short notice regarding the transfer delay and understand how inconvenient this must have been for you.

This is a beach visit to relax. Snorkeling is not good in this location and the lunch was below average.
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Coral Island Snorkeling Tour By Speedboat From Phuket. We are sorry to hear that the snorkeling did not meet your expectations and that the lunch was below what you had hoped for. We kindly note that food preferences can vary from person to person, but we sincerely apologize if the meal and overall experience did not satisfy you.

For a first, transportation is late about an hour. Second. Coral Island snorkeling areas are sand and couple rocks, not a coral reef. Third, island is very nice for chilling, swimming and partying. Speedboat transportation is fast and everything went as expected. For a 37€ price, it was a 3/5 trip.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the delay in transportation and that the snorkeling didn’t meet your expectations. We’re glad you still enjoyed Coral Island for relaxing, swimming, and the overall experience, and that the speedboat transfer went smoothly. Your comments are very helpful, and we’ll use them to improve future tours, and we hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Allowed us to book & and take our money & then sent an email to say Fully Booked & this was the only day we could do this trip. Should not be able to book if the trip is full, In addition they still took payment & so now we have to wait 3-5 days for a refund.. Jokers! Do not book a trip with this operator!
Dear Value customer We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by your booking experience. We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a notification that the trip was fully booked after your payment was processed. Occasionally, due to high demand and system processing times, availability may not update in real-time, leading to situations like this. Please rest assured that as soon as we identified the issue, we initiated your refund immediately. However, processing times depend on the payment provider and bank policies, which unfortunately are beyond our direct control. We truly regret this experience and appreciate your feedback as we continuously work on improving our booking system. If there’s anything else we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Oh Hoo Travel
Very well organized and good transportation. Informative and nice guide. Good lunch, plenty to drink on the boat and some fruit. Recommended for families with children.
Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that you found the trip well organized with good transportation, an informative and friendly guide, and a satisfying lunch with plenty of drinks and fruit on board. We especially appreciate your recommendation for families with children. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you and your family again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Well organized but to defect. Nobody needs Russian music at the beach bar in Thailand, the language itself is enough. Promised free drinks just a water dispenser that you can't find. Otherwise paid bar, which is of course immediately recognizable. Beach very good, clean and tidy. Lunch good and sufficient. Smokers, like everywhere else, are the lepers who have to stand on garbage sites or construction sites |. Snorkeling tour only 40 minutes, so if you think it goes all day according to your own planning is wrong. All in all a good trip but with a taste. Some people like mass handling - I don't.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the beach and the lunch. We regret that some aspects, such as the crowd level, music selection, complimentary drink information, and snorkeling duration, did not meet your expectations. Your comments are important to us, and we will review these points to improve clarity and overall guest experience. We are grateful for your balanced review and your acknowledgment that, overall, it was a good trip. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide an experience that better matches your personal expectations. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
Had a great time on the island lounging in the bar area at our own leisure. A nice lunch was served and we chose to take the boat on a snorkel tour around the island. A very relaxing day in the sun ☀️
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you had a relaxing day on the island, enjoying the bar area, the delicious lunch, and the snorkeling tour. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another memorable day soon. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
We only had three days in Phuket and happened to be staying at a hotel with a more muddy beach due to the area the hotel is in. But I really wanted to do some snorkeling and see coral and reef fish so we booked the day trip to coral island. For the price we paid we got a efficient, safe and comfortable ride to coral island. We were the first boat there so it was very peaceful, beautiful clear water and white sand beach. We arrived around 10am. We also spotted many hornbills flying around the island. We did some snorkeling and although the coral close to the shore was quite degraded we swam out further and saw many fish and beautiful coral. The lunch was good, we had fried chicken, pad kra pao, stir-fried veggies, rice and fruit. But then around 11 am many more boats with tourists arrived and they started doing parasailing right from the beach. The speed boats were so loud and were basically circling over the coral in a shallow area. No wonder the coral is so degraded near the shore. We were happy to leave at 2:45pm. Overall beautiful spot, safe and good value for the money paid, but the parasailing and hordes of people were obnoxious.
We had a fantastic relaxing day - snorkeling, parasailing, swimming and chilling!!! Holiday cannot be any better!!!
