Racha Yai and Coral Island sit south of Phuket, thirty to forty-five minutes by speedboat from Chalong Pier. Both are known for the exceptional clarity of their water and for reefs you can reach from the surface.
The first stop is Racha Yai, in Ao Tawan Yai or Ao Siam bay depending on conditions, anchoring near the reef a few metres from the white sand. Those who prefer to stay ashore land by tender, while the others slip into the water straight from the boat to watch hard corals, angelfish and shoals of sergeant majors. In the afternoon, Coral Island offers one of the easiest reefs to observe in the region.
Please note: the return transfer from your hotel is included. Additional charges may however apply depending on your pick-up location; any such amount will be confirmed according to the address of your accommodation.
Good to know: the child rate is 41 € by speed catamaran, and the excursion is free under age 4. It is applied when we confirm your booking.
