Banana Beach is the best corner of Koh Hey (Coral Island). One of the most delightful island attractions in Phuket.
The island is only 15 to 20 minutes from the main island of Phuket by speedboat!
Pick up at about 8.30am from Hotel to Kan Eang @ Pier Restaurant at Chalong Pier.
At 10.00am depart from Chalong Pier to Banana Beach, Koh Hey. By 10.20am you'll have arrived at Banana Beach, Koh Hey to enjoy swimming, snorkeling and relaxing on the beautiful white sand beach
At about 11.30am you'll be moved to a new spot just off the island to do some underwater sightseeing in the crystal clear waters off the back to the speedboat.
Enjoy a light lunch at the Hornbill Restaurant overlooking the water from restaurant. (plus drinking water and fresh fruits).
Spend the afternoon at your leisure on the beach before boarding the speedboat at 5.00pm.
Back at Chalong Pier by 5.20pm you'll be transferred to your hotel.

Yesterday we went to banana beach with snorkle and Kayak package. The tour opporators were fantastic. The resturant staff were friendly, kind and even offered us extra food as it was avaliable. In Thailand if you treat staff with kindness and respect you recieve the same back 10 fold.
The snorkeling was a rough day on the ocean due to weather but the tour specialists, took us to 3 doffrent location to give us the best experience possible. We saw lots of sea life and were safe with guide s in the water ready to assist anyone in need.
My wife went para-sailing and the experience was the best I've witness visiting Thailand on several occasions. The staff were professional, and they guided the boat insuring she got to see lots of the special view that make the islands so special.
I've been to all the other islands many times
But Koh Hey - Banana Beach is the gem I some how missed. SAME SAME BUT BETTER.

Loved every part of it. Just the snorkelling off the boat ended too quickly due to staying on the beach half an hour more than was planned initially. Otherwise everyone really enjoyed. Banana beach itself is pretty awesome for snorkelling too. Nice restrooms, facilities, restaurant, shower, fins for rent, lovely birds.

Great value for money, Banana beach is beautiful but (probably because of the season and pandemic impact) a number of activities weren’t open or were rundown. The trip itself was great, lunch was as expected, soft drinks and fruit were provided on the boat and I was impressed with what we got. Snorkelling was good but because of the weather we couldn’t see much - out of the operators control though! Overall we had a fun day, despite the rain, and I imagine on a beautifully hot day the beach is amazing. Transport pick up and drop off was exceptionally smooth too. I’d go again!

We did this day trip from our hotel at Kata Noi.
We were picked up in a shared mini bus with some delays because other travellers (not the operator) were running late at their hotel.
There were no masks or social distancing in the mini bus or on the crowded transport to get to the boat. Once at the Island the the parasailing was great. The lunch included exceeded expectations and was lovely.
It was somewhat ruined by the insistence on cranking loud music like a night club where our sun chairs were which meant we couldn’t read a book or relax. Despite asking many times for them to turn it down they wouldn’t. There were also explicit lyrics which meant we had to field colourful questions from our children about inappropriate phrases only Doja Cat could come up with…

We booked this Cruise through Phuket All Tours . Included was Hotel Pickup & Drop off from our Patong Hotel . We found that their communication was excellent and when we changed accomodation at the last minute they were very quick to alter the Pick up .
We were picked up on time at 1 pm in a Mini Bus and the Bus also made a few other Pick ups. We were all then Driven to a Marina at the Northern End of Phuket Island near the Aiport where we Boarded the June Bahtra , This is a large Junk Boat , we were offered Soft Drinks or Water & Biscuits or you could purchase Beer for 90 Baht, as we then began our Cruise. The Weather was Perfect . The Sea was very Calm . After an hour of cruising we dropped Anchor near an Island and we were ferried ashore where we could spend some time Swimming or Walking the Beach or having a Beer at a number of small Beach Bars . There were Toilet Facilities which were very over priced at 20 Baht .
Once back on Board we began cruising again and the smell of delicious food was wafting up from the Galley .
We had a delicious Prawn Tom Yum Soup . Not too spicy . There was Spring Rolls and other bite size snacks . The Main Courses were a good number of Thai dishes including Fish & Chicken also Rice . The Meal finished with fresh Fruit . The Big Sail was set as a light Breeze got up and the Engine cut and we were under Sail as the Sun began to Set . It was Dark when we arrived back at the Marina for our transfer back to our Hotel . What a great Day .

The marina is nice and tranquil. Beautiful views watching the sunset, peaceful and relaxing too. The service was good and thoroughly enjoyed the food.

It was just OK. Staff was friendly and accommodating enough, but was very disappointed in the event. Cruise, online was priced and portrayed as an upscale elegant dinner affair, but in reality was just a an old raggety pirate ship that served just an OK dinner with soft drinks. Would have been more acceptable had the advertizement just said up front that this is just a very casual old ship offering an outing on the water with food included. Additionally, I was told to be in my hotel lobby at 3:15 for pick up. When the driver was not there by 3:45, I called and was told that driver was picking up other clients for the tour and would be there in 15 min. When not there after that 15 min. additional wait, a second call was made and was told I had been given the wrong pick up time and the driver would not be there until 4:30 because my hotel was closest to the pier, so I had to wait hour and a half outside in the humid heat for a driver that showed up no other clients... Wonder why the lie?
