Koh Chang Speedboat charter . . .

 . . . make the most of your holiday.

We used to have our own speedboat that we rented out to groups and families but we kept upsetting whichever sea god is responsible for the smooth running of 2-stroke outboards and so we eventually got bored of fixing the engine.  We might get a new smaller boat in late 2007 but only for personal use.  Therefore, we now use speedboats from Kai Bae Hut, Koh Chang who have been running trips for over 15 years and employ safe, experienced captains.  They have several boats of differing sizes and can cater for groups of 4 or less right up to a party of 25 people

Trip ideas around Koh Chang

Boat trip destinations - know where you are going

1.  Inshore islands.  If you don't want to spend a whole day out at sea or have young children then the groups of six small islands just off Klong Prao & Kai Bae beaches is a good option.  This trip is more to enjoy the panoramic views of  the beaches set against the mountains of Koh Chang, rather than for seeing lots of fish. This trip is usually done as a half day trip rather than a full day.  However, anyone reasonably fit can canoe around the islands instead - which is much cheaper and more fun and  

2. Koh Wai.  A popular stop, usually in the afternoon on the way back from the main snorkelling sites to the south.   Here you can snorkel on the coral reef just off the beach or choose to laze on the sand.   

3. Koh Rang.  If you simply want to see as many fish as possible, the small islands off Koh Rang are the place to go.  Most boat tours visit more or less the same small islands  - so they can get busy in high season if tour boats all decide to visit the same islands at the same time (one reason to have the flexibility of renting a boat privately) .  You'll  visit a few small islands where you're guaranteed to have clear water & a wide variety of fish.     

Leaving Koh Wai

Leaving Koh Wai & Koh Mak behind

4. Koh Mak.  An increasingly popular island, around 16sqm kilometres in size.  In mid 2007 several mountainbike routes were laid out which allow visitors to explore the island and see places of interest both scenic and related to the history of Koh Mak easily.  Or you could just spend a day lazing on the beach here - but take time to walk up to Koh Mak Villa and see the amazing views of Koh Chang, and other islands to the north.

The highlighted tours are the most popular. 

Tour 1 is the best for snorkelling, you will visit all the best snorkelling sites during the day. 

Tour 4 is better if you want to spend more time on Koh Wai, which is a nice island with snorkelling off the beach. Very good for small children as they can feed the fish whilst standing in the shallow water. Koh Klum isn't as popular a snorkelling spot as other islands and Koh Laoya is a very pretty private island with one resort and so most boat trips don't go there.

Tour 5 is a good way to have a day out on on Koh Mak - which is a very nice island to explore by mountainbike or you could just to spend time on a long deserted beach.  Koh Kham is a very small island nearby with black volcanic rocks that contrast with the white sand at low tide.  Very picturesque.

Tours 2 & 3 are to the islands just off Klong Prao beach - the snorkelling conditions aren't as good as the islands to the south.

Tours 6 & 7 will be interesting but more for sightseeing than snorkelling as they will will involve a long time on the speedboat, which can be uncomfortable if the sea is choppy.
