The Maithon Island Hopping Cruise, NOW available for Bookings - Please Call Tiger Marine Charter TODAY

The 5 Island Hopping Cruise

This is by far the most popular boat cruise for our guests.
Maithon is a private island off southern Phuket coast. This area is gorgeous, has very clear waters and the snorkelling is good.
AND there is a pod of around 22 Dolphins there which can be seen on this boat cruise about 80% of the time.

This cruise is possible on All our vessels SHANGANI, SANYATI, SHASHANI, SHA-SHI, SABI, or MARULA. This is by far the most popular run for our DAY charters. It is a perfect place to put up our slide from the top deck,  and inflate the floating jacuzzi and slide because the waters are so clear. All this is included in our package.

Our favourite and most popular cruise is our “ Maithon run”.

Maithon is a private island off southern Phuket. We highly recommend this cruise because it is such a beautiful area with crystal clear water and a pod of more than 20 dolphins. Baby dolphins spotted recently!
We sail first to the Kai islands in the morning and then cruise south to Maithon Island where the crew will anchor, and prepare your lunch, while you play with all the boat water “toys” like the floating jacuzzi, water bike, hammocks etc. and enjoy snorkelling.
Maithon waters are great for snorkelling, as they are crystal clear with many tropical fish. You are very likely to see the dolphins there too, playing near the boat.

In the afternoon, the boat can  call in to Rang Yai islands, where you can play with all the boat “toys” and swim to the beach.

Koh Rang Yai is a small uninhabited island about 5km off the east coast of Phuket, which has a fabulous long white sand beach on the west with views back to the mainland. Though there is virtually no develpment on the island, there are several local beach restaurants set in the shade of the trees. The beach is idyllic with overhanging trees giving plenty of shade. There is a smaller beach on the western side of the island and you can walk through the coconut groves to reach it. At the centre of the main beach is the pearl farm and shop.. Here you can see the various stages of pearl production. The forested interior has some good trails for hiking. You can rent mountain bikes for a ride along the trails around the island. There is also some reasonable snorkeling around the rocky headlands. The water on the east side of the island is not always so clear, but the beach is lovely for swimming. You can sit in the shade of the coconut trees, and take a refreshing dip in the sea, or relax in our floating jacuzzis.

There is a possibility of calling in at the tiny island of Koh Phae too if it is low tide.

Ko Phae is a tiny rocky island out on its own in the middle of the Andaman Sea, with a wonderful surprise of a beautiful sand bar which appears miraculously at low tide. Usually deserted, this is a lovely place to anchor off in one of our boats if the timing of your day cruise fits in with a low tide

 

We guarantee you will have a fantastic day!
