Great Beaxh
Banana Beaxh is a beautiful location. Postcard perfect. Boat ride to and from was fast and comfortable with water and fruit provided. Downside was the snorkelling - the site was underwhelming. Numerous fish but coral dead or unhealthy. Not exactly anything the tour operator can control. A great day out if you want to go to a beautiful beach with great service. Of wanting to look at undersea wonders - look for a different site.

Must try snorkeling
Such a great day out! I went with a broken arm and was taken care of so well! The sea life was amazing and my guide Kong was so helpful and kept a close eye out for everyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great day and that you were well taken care of throughout the trip. It’s fantastic to know that you enjoyed the amazing sea life and that Kong was able to support you and look after everyone so attentively, especially while you were traveling with a broken arm. Your kind feedback truly means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable adventure in the future, and we wish you a smooth and speedy recovery. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Would rather spend money on visiting another island
Would not recommend this trip. The island and area taken to snorkel is not clean. The food is nothing like the pictures. Instead of prawns and calarami, you get spaghetti, stir fry and chicken wings. You only leave for the island at 10:30 to arrive at 11:10. They allow u 30 min free time then you board the boat at 11;40 for snorkelling. Two 30 min sessions of snorkeling and you back on the island for lunch by 13:10. They offer 2 timeslots to go back to Phuket 2pm and 5pm. Because there is not much to do on the island u end up opting for the 2pm which is just after lunch because you cannot fill the remaining 3 hrs with anything to do. Maybe consider a 3pm slot so that after lunch u have time to swim then leave. 2pm is way too early and 5pm is way too late
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We genuinely appreciate your insights as they help us improve our services. We’re sorry to hear that the snorkeling experience and the food did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a memorable experience, and it’s disappointing to learn that we fell short in this instance. Your comments regarding the itinerary and timing have been noted, and we will certainly consider your suggestions for improvement. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Best regards, Oh Hoo Travel

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $2760 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 Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Coral Island Banana Beach Snorkeling and Clear Kayak Tour 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.
