Phuket: Racha Islands Snorkeling Tour — 3 Sites by Yacht | Full Day

— What You Can Expect —

Begin your day with hotel pickup, followed by a hot buffet breakfast served on board of the motor yacht. Once aboard your yacht, your professional guide will brief you on snorkeling techniques, equipment, and safety before the adventure begins.

Racha Noi is the crown jewel of Phuket's snorkeling and diving scene — its underwater visibility and marine life are unmatched in the region. Very few tour operators travel this far offshore, which means the sites are largely free of crowds and the coral remains genuinely healthy.

All activities take place directly from the yacht. There is no land excursion — this is a dedicated marine experience for those who are here for the water, not the beach.

✅ Your first stop is Manta Bay on Racha Noi — one of Phuket's most celebrated snorkeling sites, known for resident sea turtles, manta rays, and dramatic coral formations. Your guide enters the water with you at all times.

✅ Next is Banana Bay, also on Racha Noi — a sheltered bay with a completely different underwater landscape. Dense schools of colorful tropical fish and resident moray eels gather around living coral. Banana Bay is the only site in Phuket where whale sharks are occasionally spotted, making every visit a potential once-in-a-lifetime encounter. Ideal for families and photography enthusiasts.

✅ Your final stop is Bay One on Racha Yai, where multiple artificial reefs have been carefully cultivated, actively helping to rehabilitate natural corals and marine life. The results are remarkable — leopard sharks, rays, and thriving coral gardens in crystal-clear, shallow waters make this the perfect finale to the day.

Between stops, relax on deck with unlimited snacks and soft drinks. A full Thai and international lunch buffet is served onboard between the second and third snorkeling sites.

Racha Yai and Racha Noi sit further offshore than the popular Phi Phi and Khai Island routes — fewer boats, cleaner water, healthier coral, and significantly more marine life. THIS IS A DEDICATED MARINE EXPERIENCE, NOT A CROWDED BEACH DAY/ISLAND TOUR.

Throughout all three sites, you will follow a dedicated snorkeling leader who will point out interesting marine life and ensure the group stays safe. If you require special assistance or one-on-one attention in the water, we recommend booking "A Personal Instructor" in advance.

All participants must be capable of swimming with a life vest.

Children aged 6 to 11 are welcome with basic swimming ability. This is an excellent activity for families with children — however it is not suitable for infants or toddlers.

Life vests and snorkeling masks are provided for all guests.
