6.Private Longtail Boat to Koh Hey (Coral Island)

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 43 reviews · 6 hours

Take a private longtail boat from Rawai to Koh Hey, also called Coral Island, for up to six hours. Your local captain handles the boat, but there is no guide. Swim, snorkel, eat, or pay for beach activities. A Koh Bon stop is available with the selected option.

“The description implies more than what is actually included. Scroll down to what is included part and you’ll see. You only get a plastic chair far away from the beach and the transport. That’s all. You can get the transport for the 1/10th of the price locally and rent sunbeds close to the beach at the island. In total, it won’t even cost you the half of the price you are paying here! Let me also note that the prices for this “activity” reduced after we booked it.”

“The tour of James Bound Island organized by ForeverVacation was an exceptional discovery. I chose a private tour because I was afraid that a larger group would be too restrictive. And I definitely don't regret my choice, because this private group option allows for great flexibility and the program can be adapted at any time. Bessica was our guide during this excursion, and she took care of us at all times and adapted the program to suit our wishes. I also took another private tour with Forever Vacation, namely to Phi Phi Island and its wonderful Maya Bay beach, made famous by the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. During this excursion,…”
