The Experience
Before You Go
Protect your skin with reef-safe sunscreen
Use a mineral, reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and prevent burns during long sun exposure on deck and at the beach.
Prepare for seasickness
Even calm seas can roll; take antihistamines or acupressure bands before departure if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Respect the reef
Don’t touch or stand on the coral; use a mask and float rather than kicking near shallow reef areas to avoid damage.
Carry small cash
Vendors on the island accept cash for snacks, souvenirs and optional activities that may have extra charges.

- •Monitor lizards or small shore crabs on quieter parts of the beach
Conservation Note
Coral reefs here are vulnerable to damage and bleaching; use reef-safe products, avoid anchoring on reefs and follow local guidelines to reduce impact.
Koh Hae has long served Phuket’s fishing communities and became popular for day trips as tourism around the island grew in the late 20th century.
