Special attention of lovers of this type of swimming is attracted by a stop on Koh Haa Island. There is a rock arch through which you can even swim. After the arch, a wonderful underwater world awaits you – with numerous fish, reefs.

The lagoon is an excellent snorkeling spot, since its depth is only about 6 m, and at the bottom there are a lot of different varieties of soft and hard corals. In the western part of the lagoon there is a beautiful beach with white sand, where you can pass the time between diving or snorkeling.

Advantages of the location:

• The islands are uninhabited and uncrowded. At the highest point – about   150 m – there is a natural observation deck with views of the Andaman Sea and the mainland. Do not forget to bring your camera.
• Underwater caves and caverns. Koh Ha Island is especially famous for its underwater caves and caverns, which attract lovers of underwater swimming. The Cathedral is one of the most famous underwater caves on the island.

How far are Koh Ha and Koh Rok from Phuket?

In a straight line it is about 106 km (57 nautical miles) from Chalong Pier to Koh Rok. This is an approximate straight-line distance, not an exact navigational figure — the actual route on the water is always somewhat longer.

The crossing time depends on the particular yacht, the weather and the state of the sea — boats run differently, which is why the trip is planned over several days rather than one. The departure pier is also chosen to suit the route and the vessel, so we confirm the exact timing and departure point when planning your trip. The distance shown is to Koh Rok; the exact distance to Koh Ha is confirmed when planning the route.

When planning a longer day on the water, this trip is often combined with Phi Phi and Bamboo Island or Koh Lipe.

How to get to Koh Ha and Koh Rok from Phuket

There are three ways, and they are not close to equivalent.

By private yacht. About 106 km from Phuket — which is why this is a two-day trip rather than a day trip. You keep the boat, the route and the schedule, and you sleep aboard at anchor — which in practice means you are at the islands at first light, before anything else arrives.

By scheduled ferry or speedboat. Possible, and much cheaper per person. It also means fixed departure times, a fixed number of hours ashore, and arriving at exactly the same moment as every other boat. For Koh Ha and Koh Rok this usually involves a road transfer to a Krabi or Koh Lanta pier first — check current schedules, they change with the season.

By day trip from Phuket. Not realistic at this distance. 106 km each way leaves almost no time at the islands, and we do not run it as a single day.

Which boat suits the run is a separate question — the shortlist is further down this page.
