Khai Island halvdagstur från Phuket

Well organized, crew was professional and safe. Islands were beautiful and was a nice quick exploratory experience.

Transport to boat was shocking. They crammed 4 more people in to a mini bus but had no seats for them so people were sitting on others knees. Then some kid in front kept turning the air con off in minibus and playing with fan and gear stick driver was trying to drive but had to contend with this uncontrollable kid. Boat on and off access was poor very little help from staff to get on and off. One side of boat had no step so wife grazed her leg trying to get down off boat and banged her chin on motor. Then when getting off boat at end of tour we all had to balance on a floating pontoon which was wedged up by moored boats at about 30 degree slope staff from our boat more interested in cleaning boat than the safety of their passengers Overall poorly run trip will never use these again

Speedboat trip to the three Khai islands. Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of waiting around before hand was a shame. First island was good snorkelling, we couldn’t stop at the second due to tides. The third had lots of sea urchins to see but an hour was too long. The tiny snorkelling area was choppy due to all the jet skis. No life jackets provided for the boat rides despite a sign saying you should wear them.

Long road transfer to port. On arrival disorganised, very little communication. Boat filled to the max, crammed in. Short boat trips to islands, enough time at each stop. Our friends found it difficult to get back on the boat, due to small step being to high and only about 6 inches in width and water being to deep to step up. They remained on the boat for last two stops as did a few other people, fresh fruit and refreshments offered at last stop but only for the ones who went ashore, when ask crew for fruit and water when they returned, they said that they forgot people remained on the boat, none was offered. At the end, everyone’s transfer left immediately, our driver was sat by our van eating, after 20 minutes he looked inside the van looking at everyone, closed the door and went to the toilet, on his return he then lit a cigarette for another 10 minutes, on finally leaving the port, he then stopped to get fuel another 10 minutes. Not a get trip, rough drive and everyone thought he was high on something.

Everything was arranged well for a relaxing, fun experience. Snacks and beverages were thoughtful and tasty. The snorkeling was good enough for a first-timer, but might be underwhelming if you've done it before. One of the islands was wonderful, with white sand and clear water and minimal activity, very peaceful. The other would have been better if not overwhelmed with visitors and vendors. Transportation on the island is slow. Please keep your schedule loose with this in mind, knowing that a couple hours will be spent getting to the dock and waiting for all of the other passengers to assemble. In the end it is worth it, but some may be disappointed.

Poor communication on what was happening. Too many stops for a short tour. The islands are full of rubbish and they only take you there to make purchases. The workers on the island should be make to keep it neat.

The trip was very nice, but the information not good, if you wanted a shade spot on the islands these had to be paid extra. Without a swimming school, it could not, was not in the description. Extra activities were offered such as diving or jet skiing, who takes this much cash on a boat tour.

Our last day in Thailand due to fly home at 10pm so though we would do the half day trip to pass time and explore. Advert said 4 hours on get your guide so 11.30am pick up would expect to be done by 15:30. We didn’t get back to our hotel until gone after 7pm the 4 hour boat trip turned into nearly 8 hours leaving us nearly missing our flight home. 2 hour travel time to the pier and 2 hours back to the hotel really needs to be advertised as this was not made aware to us at any point. If we were not travelling home it wouldn’t be an issue but it wasn’t run over by an hour or two it was extremely lengthy. Islands themselves were nice, overcrowded compared to some we have gone to around Thailand.

Been to Khai Islands today on a half-day trip from Phuket. The drive to the harbor was long but it was informed in advance. When we booked the trip we asked about how the three Khai islands were and were told that they were not as crowded as the ex phi phi islands were and that was exactly what we wanted, a nice island experience with the possibility of snorkeling, swimming and relaxation. Unfortunately, the islands did not live up to any of this. They are overwhelmed with tourists that you can actually not even see the beauty of the island. There are water activities, a whirlwind of jet skiing. The first Khai Island was full of stones where it was supposed to be child-friendly. Skarp corals on the sand (and you were not informed about bathing shoes in the various brochures you can find on the various stands around in Phuket. The other island Khai where you can also stop by the beach was just as crowded with tourists. I don't even dare to think about what phi-phi islands are like. There were very few fish and unfortunately a completely dead coral reef! Food prices on the islands turn high ifht what else it costs. 1 phad tai, two nuggets and 1 pommes frites cost 1260 baht! This is very unfortunate, because when you sailed away from the island you could feel the beauty of the island. But as it is now, it's not worth the trip! We sailed with PH MARINE - they were super 👍🏼 good service, information, had free fruit and drinking with on the trip.

We took a half-day tour to Khai Island, and while the island itself was beautiful, the experience felt too rushed. Just as we started to relax and enjoy the surroundings, it was time to move again. It would have been much nicer to stay at one spot longer instead of constantly feeling like we were on a schedule. Another downside was the constant extra costs. From buying water shoes to paying to reserve a beach chair, it felt like everything was adding up. The additional sales pitches throughout the trip were a bit much, making the experience less relaxing than we had hoped. Looking back, it would have been better to go with a full-day, all-inclusive tour where everything is covered upfront. That way, you can truly enjoy the island without worrying about unexpected costs or feeling rushed. Despite that, it was still a good day out, and the scenery was stunning. If you’re planning to visit, I’d recommend going for a full-day package to make the most of it!
