What you'll see

Racha Island is a paradisiacal island about 18 km south of Phuket. You can reach within 50-60 minutes by private longtail boat from Ao Chalong Pier. Racha Island has crystal clear water and a beach like from an ice cream commercial or from a postcard. The sand is pressed softly through the toes during a walk on the beach which is almost like a foot massage. A beautiful underwater world with lots of fish and great corals await to be discovered.

The main activities that take place on Racha Island are mainly diving and snorkeling, which is possible all year round. The visibility in Racha Island is very good so that you can see the falling reefs down to a depth of 30 meters.

The program is up to you, you can depart any time to explore Racha Island with an experienced local Thai captain. Bring some beers, a picnic, and some tunes, and enjoy your own private longtail boat rental trip with your friends or loved ones, around the spectacular Racha Island.
