Islands of Racha and Coral
Short description
Experience the two different moods of the Andaman Sea in just one day. Our Racha Yai and Coral Island Speedboat Day Trip offers a comprehensive experience that will satisfy both the adventure-seeker and the beach-loving traveler in you. Come and experience the "Maldives of Thailand," Racha Yai Island, known for its water visibility and white-sand beach, and then end up in the vibrant shores of Coral Island or Kahung Beach in the 2026-2027 season. 🚣♀️🔮
It’s the best way to visit two different islands without having to worry about organizing everything yourself. Just imagine swimming in the crystal-clear Patok Bay, with its turquoise waters and rugged cliffs. But don’t forget to spot the special wildlife on the island—the majestic Monitor Lizards of Racha Island and the Hornbills that inhabit Coral Island are just a few examples! 🦎🦜
We've arranged all the details so that you can have a seamless day out. Avoid the hassle of getting around by local transportation and take advantage of our 30-minute speedboat transfer, our helpful English-speaking guides, and a Thai buffet lunch in a stunning island location. Whether you’re exploring the coral gardens or simply unwinding with a cold drink on the beach, this tour provides you with the quintessential Thai island experience you've been searching for.
Are you ready to explore? 🍹🌊
Two Famous Islands, One Smooth Experience
The beginning of your island getaway will be marked by a smooth transfer to Chalong Pier, where our staff will be happy to handle the check-in process and a short briefing. In just 30 minutes, our speedboat will bring you to the beautiful shore of Racha Yai, a famous island that boasts unspoiled nature.
Racha Yai: Snorkeling & Beautiful Sand
Our first point of call will be Patok Bay or Siam Bay, depending on the weather conditions. The clarity of this bay’s waters makes it one of the best locations to snorkel in the proximity of Phuket. Swim in the warm waters to view tropical fish. 🐠🤿 After the snorkeling activity, free time at the beach follows. PRO TIP: Take a short walk onshore to spot the famous Monitor Lizards of the island. Viewing these massive but non-venomous creatures in their habitat is always a thrill for most tourists!
Traditional Island Lunch
Take a break and have a meal at a local restaurant in Racha Island. A full buffet lunch of Thai dishes, fresh fruits, and drinks is served. It is a wonderful opportunity to take a breather under the shade, have your meal, and enjoy the scenery before proceeding to the next destination. 🥗🍤
Coral Island (Kahung Beach): Recreation and Relaxation
Then we will head to the lively Coral Island. On the famous Kahung Beach, you are free to spend your afternoon doing whatever you like on the island. 🏖️✨ If you are up for something adventurous, there are activities on the beach (for an extra charge) such as:
🪂 Parasailing: Take to the skies above the bay to get a good look at the reefs. 🍌 Banana Boat: The classic party in a boat. 🛶 Clear Kayaks: Explore the shoreline while looking at fish through the bottom of your kayak. 🤿 Sea Walker: A novel way of walking among the fish without having to swim.
Wildlife Encounters: The Great Hornbills
Be ready with your camera for the Great Hornbills. The large, exotic birds are a symbol of Coral Island, and they can be spotted resting in the trees near the beach. They are very accustomed to the presence of people, making for a great nature photography experience.
