About this activity

A full-day speedboat adventure from Phuket combining snorkeling at Racha Island's vibrant reefs with beach time and water sports at Coral Island. This itinerary packs diverse marine experiences and Thai cuisine into one action-packed day, ideal for travellers seeking variety beyond standard beach club visits.

After pickup at your hotel drive to Chalong Pier, about 30 minutes from Phuket city center, and then climb aboard a modern boat for a calm cruise to gorgeous Racha Island. Upon arrival, put on your snorkeling mask and get ready for a close look at the local aquatic life as well as beautiful corals and a kaleidoscope of fish in the clear turquoise waters.

Around afternoon, hop on your boat and depart for Coral Island. Then replenish your energy with a delicious Thai buffet lunch at Hey Island Restaurant and enjoy time on the pristine white-sand beach or perhaps try some sea sports like beach diving, parasailing, and banana boat riding at your own expense. After an adventurous day, return to the pier and drive back to your city hotel.

  • White-sand beach relaxation at Coral Island

Insider tips

  • Arrive at pickup early to secure a good seat on the speedboat; these boats fill quickly during peak season
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen—the sun reflects intensely off water and sand, and many Thai beaches protect coral by restricting certain sunscreen chemicals
  • Water sports vendors at Coral Island negotiate on price; costs are separate from the tour, so agree on fees before starting activities

Good to know

  • 8-hour total duration includes approximately 30-minute hotel-to-pier transfer each way
  • Snorkeling gear typically provided; confirm with operator if you prefer to bring your own
  • Tour departs from Chalong Pier; hotel pickup covers Phuket areas (verify your location is included)
  • Water sports (parasailing, diving, banana boat) are optional and charged separately
