“Such a great activity. The caves were scary . The tide was high and the guides had to push us on foot and let air out of the canoe just for us to pass. I wouldn’t do this part again due to claustrophobia”

Ride from Phuket to Racha Island for clear-water snorkeling, then spend about three hours at Coral Island with lunch, beach chairs, swimming, and optional watersports. Guides such as Jackie, Sasha, L, and Sunny keep the day organized, while hotel pickup and drinks make this a simple full-day escape.

“Great overall tour, and good value for money. Hotel pickup smooth, speedboat very fast. Snorkel was about 15 mins just on the surface wearing life belt, but saw tropical fish and good fun. Basic buffet lunch was ok. Right amount of time on the beach at each island. Guides looked after you well. We had coloured bracelets and were told times to meet. Great overall!”
