Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at the operator's meeting point in Chalong Park View (Chaofa Rd) for check-in and boarding. The cruise departs after a short safety briefing and visits 2–3 quiet snorkeling locations before returning to disembark and drop-off at hotels.
Meet & check-in at Chalong Park View (boarding)
Arrive at the meeting point for name check, baggage stowage and boarding. Staff will confirm any dietary requirements and fit snorkel equipment as needed.
Tips from local experts:
- Have your traveller details (name as in passport, year of birth, nationality, phone number and hotel) ready at check-in to speed boarding.
- Bring a small dry bag or sealed pouch for valuables and a towel; limited storage space is available on board.
- If you have young children, keep their floatation aids and sunscreen ready — staff will provide life jackets for children.
Safety briefing and departure
Short safety talk covering boarding, life jackets, snorkeling basics and route overview. Vessel departs shortly after the briefing.
Tips from local experts:
- Listen to the briefing — it includes specific instructions for children and snorkel buddy systems.
- If anyone in your group is prone to seasickness, take medication beforehand; there is limited shelter while cruising.
- Ask the crew to show you how the snorkel gear fits before you enter the water, especially for children.
Cruise and snorkeling at 2–3 quiet sites
The boat cruises slowly to 2–3 snorkeling locations in the southern Phuket area. At each stop there is time to swim, snorkel, and relax on board. The captain may change the route for comfort and safety.
Tips from local experts:
- Apply reef-safe sunscreen before entering the water and reapply on board in shaded areas to protect skin and coral.
- Keep young children within arm’s reach in the water; request a children’s life jacket from the crew if needed.
- Use the boat ladder to enter/exit the water and ask crew to point out any shallow reefs or boat traffic areas.
Lunch onboard — Thai buffet and fruit presentation
Return to the boat’s dining area for a Thai buffet with a selection of dishes and seasonal tropical fruit. Vegetarian options are available if advised at booking.
Tips from local experts:
- Notify the crew of any dietary requirements (vegetarian, allergies) when you check in so they can prepare the appropriate meal.
- There is basic seating and shade on board — bring a lightweight jacket if you get cooler at sea after swimming.
- Supervise children during mealtimes; carry any special snacks your child prefers if they are picky eaters.
Scenic return cruise, tea/coffee and disembark
Leisurely cruise back toward Chalong. Enjoy hot drinks, light snacks and a final chance to relax on deck before disembarking and hotel return transfers.
Tips from local experts:
- Collect all personal items and rinse snorkeling equipment if needed before disembarking; crew can assist with stowage.
- Pick-up times back at hotels may vary by +/-10–15 minutes due to traffic; keep small children comfortable while waiting.
- If you require a transfer from outside the standard pickup area, confirm arrangements with the operator in advance.
