Just off the coast of Phuket are 2 magnificent islands called Khai Nok and Khai Nui—small gems of white-sand beaches and tree-covered rocks surrounded by clear, turquoise water. Take a boat ride to these peaceful islands and spend the day basking in their paradisiacal ambiance.

After convenient pickup from your hotel, make your way to a nearby pier and step aboard a boat that whisks you out onto the waters of the Andaman Sea. Enjoy a welcome drink and snacks while you cruise over idyllic waters toward Khai Nok, which is your first stop. Disembark the vessel and take advantage of the opportunity to relax on the island's warm sand, or put on snorkel gear and marvel at the bustling aquatic world that thrives just off the coast of this pristine isle.

After soaking up the scenery at Khai Nok, hop over to Khai Nui, which features some of the clearest water and most colorful fish in the area. The gentle waves that kiss the sand here beg to be enjoyed, so hop in the water to cool off and do a little more snorkeling. Soon, you're on your way back to Phuket, where you dig into a lunch with ocean views before being taken back to your hotel.
