it was very gorgeous and peaceful there. Also was not crowded at all. There have a bar that u can buy any drink and even take it to drink in the sea lol. the water so clear and green.

Monday 17th February and we booked a half day tour to this Island, Koh He, through Sun Leisure World, however, the Operator was Nikorn. The journey was only about 15 minutes from Chalong Pier. Our boat moored up by the pontoon on Long Beach, where we were based on the Island. Deck chairs were available to rent, but ours were included in the price of the tour. Lockers were also available for 100 Baht Once settled in we went for a walk, along the longest stretch of the beach. It looked so beautiful, however, some bits were not so good. In order to stop beach erosion, sand filled sacks have be piled up along the bank. Some of the bags have split and it seemed that litter and rubbish gathered here, a bit ugly. Thankfully it is only on part of the beach. There were a variety of water sport activities, which were an additional cost. Sea walking this lasted 15 to 20 minutes and was 1,600 Baht (£40) per person Parasailing, once around the bay, 800 Baht (£20) per person. The banana boat was the same. Scuba diving lasted 45 minutes, practice and a beach dive, 2,100 Baht (£52). We were provided with snorkels, included in tour price, fins were extra. We were able to snorkel in the large cordoned off area from the beach. We swam out to the perimeter of the area and this is where we saw the most fish and coral. This was the best snorkeling we did on all of the trips we took. There are 2 beaches on the Island, Banana Beach and the larger, busier Long Beach. It is possible to walk to Banana Beach it took us about 20 minutes to get there. The pathway was very uneven and at times a bit steep, there is a plethora of small roots criss crossing the path. Footwear is definitely required, not really flip flop terrain. A very picturesque beach, with white sand and clear water. Some sunloungers here, no umbrellas, only shade provided by the trees. Well worth the walk. The were some bars and restaurants on both beaches. In total we had about 3 hours here on Koh He, what with snorkeling, walking the length of Long Beach and to and from Banana Beach, the time quickly passed. In fact we just had time for a cold beer in Bar 1 (Coral Bar) before rejoining our speedboat back to Chalong. Overall a beautiful Island, definitely the positives far outweigh the negatives.
