New Power Catamaran: Phang Nga & Phi Phi Island Excursions from Phuket
Board a roomy, fast catamaran from Chalong Marina and explore Phang Nga and Phi Phi—snorkel reefs, kayak sea caves and relax with a Thai buffet on deck. Practical route choices and conservation-aware stops mean more meaningful time in the water and fewer crowds.
The Experience
Before You Go
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply reef‑safe, waterproof sunscreen before boarding and reapply after swimming to protect coral and reduce plastic bottles from sunscreens.
Confirm pickup details
Provide exact hotel and flight arrival info during booking—crew coordinate early morning pickups that affect departure timing.
Check sea conditions
Monsoon months bring choppier crossings—if you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive measures before departure.
Fit your snorkel gear
Try the provided mask and fins on deck and report leaks to crew—proper fit makes snorkeling safer and more enjoyable.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Paddle into the narrow 'hong' openings at Ko Panak during low tide for quiet inner chambers.
- •Pick an early or late departure to watch light hit the karsts without daytime crowds at popular stops.
Wildlife
- •Long‑tailed macaques
- •Green sea turtles and colorful reef fish
Conservation Note
Tourism pressure has driven seasonal closures and regulated mooring; using reef‑safe products and avoiding contact with coral helps ongoing recovery efforts.
The limestone karsts are uplifted marine deposits shaped over millennia; local fishing communities and island settlements have long relied on these sheltered bays.
