A Day in Kahung Beach: Living Life to the Fullest
Your adventure kicks off with a convenient and smooth transfer to Chalong Pier, where our team is waiting for you with a refreshing briefing. Say goodbye to long and tiring boat rides, as our fast speedboat will get you on the white sandy shores of Coral Island (Kahung Beach) within 25 minutes. 🚐💨
A Snorkeler’s Paradise & Crystal Waters
As soon as you step foot on the island, the blue waters call out to you. Coral Island is renowned for the colorful house reef it boasts. There is no need to be a skilled diver to explore the wonders of the reef, and all it takes is a few meters of swimming from the shore to be in a world of parrot fish, clown fish, and colorful coral, which is nature's aquarium in itself.
Adrenaline & Activities (Tailor Your Adventure)
For those seeking more than just a tan, Kahung Beach is the fun capital. You can design your day with a range of upmarket water activities (optional):
🪂 Parasailing: Fly like a bird and get a bird’s-eye view of the breathtaking coastline.
🛶 Clear Kayaks: Explore the reefs and observe the sea life right through your kayak.
🍌 Banana Boat and Jet Ski: Experience heart-pumping speed with your friends.
🤿 Sea Walker & Scuba Diving: Walk on the seabed, breathing easily among the fish.
Exotic Wildlife: Introducing the Island’s Hornbills
One of the most interesting and unique aspects about Coral Island is that it is home to Great Hornbills. These exotic birds are known to be very friendly and can often be seen visiting the beach. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be able to see these "forest icons" and even feed them in an organized feeding program! 📸🦜
Island Dining at Kahung Restaurant
When it’s time for a recharge, head to the Kahung Restaurant for some sea-breeze dining. Enjoy a lavish buffet lunch that features a variety of Thai specialties and fresh produce. For a dining experience that’s right in the sand, you’ll appreciate the taste of Thai island dining. 🍤🍍
Absolute Relaxation & Serenity
The rest of the afternoon is yours to enjoy. Return to your beach chair, find a quiet spot under the coconut trees, or go for another swim in the crystal-clear Andaman Sea. This is the moment to unplug from the world and reconnect with nature before our cruise returns to the pier. 🧘♀️🌊
