Great for family of 5
We did a morning half day with our 3 kids (6, 9, 12). They had a life vest for our littlest which helped. All are good swimmers for their age and had a great time, as did we. Honey (guide) was friendly and helpful with clear English. Half day was perfect for our family. Showers and bathrooms are poor quality with no toilet paper (BYO).

Ripoff!
Total ripoff! Only 2 islands during low tide. One cannot snorkel during low tide. Charged extra for a National Park, no park. Horrible experience. Two "islands" were total tourist traps, charged for chairs. There was no drop off snorkeling directly off boat. DO NOT TAKE THIS TRIP, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Just ok.
It’s ok. The first island is very pretty. Nice water. Small but pretty beach. The second island isn’t an island it’s just a snorkel spot. We were told that there were too many jellyfish to stop there and that we would have more time on the third island. The third islands beach was more rocky and the water was crowded. The beach cats were cool to see. All in all we spent more time in the transfer van and waiting at the pier than on the islands. If you’re sensitive to smoke just be aware that every other person was chain smoking on the islands and at the pier.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for coming. Unfortunately, currently it is still jellyfish season and beyond our control. It was a 4 hr tour (time starting at the time from getting on the boat to the time returning back to the pier). Our program is meant as a short and simple day out to the island and up to you how you want to spend the time.

3 Islands from Phuket
The boat team and staff were phenomenal!!! 2/18 and 2/19 were VERY over crowded. The island beaches were packed. Snorkeling was mediocre as the water was cloudy and some trash. There were a few fish sightings in the small area reserved for snorkeling.
Response from the operator: Thank you for coming and also praising our team. Feb is the busiest time of the year for the whole of Phuket. Being the peak of tourism season all Beaches and Islands are super busy regardless of location.

Awesome time, great value, well organized
We booked one day in advance. I was did lots of research as we had a 4 yr and 6 yr old and decided that a half day tour would be the best choice. This one was excellent. It was an awesome trip, mostly for the experience on the first island (tons of fish, great snorkeling). The time period was perfect, we were picked up ~7:30 From our hotel, it was a 1 hour trip for us from Karon Beach to the departure site. Tour wasn’t too big (maybe 30-40 ppl) on a good sized boat. They provided lots of water, refreshments, and snacks, which was a pleasant surprise. Jimmy our guide was funny and organized, all staff working there were great. Two of the beaches were pretty crowded, but that’s just Thailand now. Recommend this tour for families with young kids who want to escape to an island and get some great snorkeling in! :)

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does 3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day) cost?
+
Prices start at $950 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day) take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is 3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day)?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Khai Islands Tour- Snorkel, Swim & Relax (Half or Full Day) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
