★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 70 reviews · 1 day · from $52Best value

Set out from Phuket for Racha Yai, about 30 minutes by speedboat, then choose a guided scuba session to 10 meters or a 30 to 40 minute snorkel. Enjoy lunch on land, beach time, and a second stop at Coral Island. Guide Paolo has earned praise for his island and culture notes.

“A really fun day with a lovely group of people - the pick-ups and drop-offs were all very well organized. We travelled 30 mins to Racha Island where we either snorkelled or dived - the snorkelling group only had about 40 mins in the water before we were taken for lunch. More snorkelling time would have been appreciated. We then travelled to Coral Island which has beautiful beaches and we had solid time to either relax, do additional activities like parasailing or in my case, snorkel more. The waters were crystal clear and I saw a wonderful array of sealife from parrot fish to sea urchins. Our guide and crew…”
