What to expect

Meet your captain at Boat Lagoon, board and head out towards your chosen islands. You decide how long to stay on each beach, when to snorkel and when to simply relax on the boat. Your captain knows the quiet corners and the best times to visit.

Pickup and the pier

The boat departs from Boat Lagoon Pier on Phuket’s east coast. Hotel transfers are not included; you can add a van for up to 10 passengers at the area rates below.

What to bring

• Swimwear, towels, hats and sunglasses.
• Reef-safe sunscreen.
• Cash for national park fees on some routes, island fees, food and drinks.
• A waterproof bag; long tails can be splashy.

Tips

• Long tail boats are slower than speedboats, so the full-day routes suit the further islands best.
• They can be noisy at speed; the trade-off is a very authentic Thai boat experience.
• Tell us if you are celebrating and the team will see what can be arranged on board.
