There's a reason Banana Beach on Ko Hey is so hush-hush – with glittering waters and a seafood shack just steps from the sea, this place is brochure cover stuff. Speedboat over the Andaman Sea to spend the day on this tropical getaway. You'll have loads of free time to kick back and relax. Plus, you'll be able to trying snorkelling at a couple of different points if the weather plays ball, and you can hop in a see-through kayak – they're perfect if you want to get a look at the local fish that live here without getting wet.

Great day from start to finish. Banana island is a breathtaking location with coral reefs peppered with tropical colourful fish. Our 9 year old daughter loved snorkeling with them and spotting them through the transparent kayaks. We also loved watching the hornbills fly back and too. Lunch was delicious. Lots of swings, day beds etc if you just want to relax by the turquoise water and white sands. Would highly recommend.

Our guide was brilliant. About & beyond

Fabulous day out would highly recommend

Guide super freundlich und auf Wünsche eingegangen.Kümmert sich sehr um die Gäste

Hyvin järjestetty retki, ei ollut hirveää kiirettä koko ajan tai paikasta toiseen hosumista eli väljät aikataulut. Ruoka oli aikaisempiin retkiin nähden todella hyvää. Snorklauspaikka oli melko vaatimaton, uimarannalta käsin snorklaamalla näki oikeastaan enemmän. Joka paikka oli toki täynnä venäläisiä, kuten kaikkialla muuallakin Phuketissa.

Det var tydeligt at de handlede om at have så mange afsted som muligt. Alt for mange mennesker på både, så der ikke bare plads til at sidde ned ordentligt. Øen var så fyldt med mennesker at det ødelagde oplevelsen, også var der ikke noget specielt at se i vandet. Det samme kan ses ved at bade på stranden.
