Highlights
Embark on an unforgettable adventure as you explore the stunning Coral Island and Racha Island by speedboat! Departing from Phuket, this exciting day trip takes you to two of the most picturesque islands in the Andaman Sea, known for their pristine beaches and vibrant marine life. Experience the best snorkeling and Kayaking off Phuket's southern coast at the top sites of Racha (Raya) and Coral islands. Small enough to circumnavigate by foot, these islands are pleasantly undeveloped, providing a true tranquil escape from the bustle of Phuket. Long white sands and exceptional year-round snorkeling and swimming make it a perfect destination for daytrippers. You'll hop between the two islands, finding your perfect spot to snorkel or relax before heading to shore for a delicious buffet lunch at a beachside restaurant. As the day winds down, take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking sunset before returning to Phuket, concluding your memorable island-hopping experience.

Itinerary
Coral Island, known locally as Koh Hae or Ko He, is a beautiful getaway destination around 3 km southeast of Phuket. The island has 2 main beaches: Long Beach and Banana Beach. Snorkelling off Banana Beach is a thrilling experience. If you go out far enough from Long Beach, you'll also have a lot to discover at its impressive coral reef. The island is beautifully calm at night but can get quite busy during the day. Peace and quiet can be found at the extremities of both beaches.
Closest to Phuket is Racha Yai. The island is mostly inhabited by muslim farmers and fishermen. This island is also where all the accommodation is located. The main beach, on the island’s northwest coast, is Ao Tawan Tok (also known as Ao Bungalow), which is located in a u-shaped bay. The sand here is snow white and has the consistency of talcum powder. There are a few bungalow resorts and restaurants located here, including the 5-star The Racha.
A little to the south of Racha Yai is its smaller twin, Racha Noi. This island is uninhabited and has more rocks than beaches. There is a small bay on its west coast that is a favourite spot for fishing, but apart from diving there is little else to do here.
