A 10-hour catamaran day trip from Chalong Pier in Phuket to Coral Island and Racha Island, with a sunset cruise near Promthep Cape on the way back. The 40-minute sail to Coral Island gives free time to swim and sunbathe, with parasailing, banana boat rides, and sea walking available as paid extras. At Racha Island, an island tractor takes the group from Ao Ter Bay to Ban Raya Resort for a Thai buffet lunch, then on to Kon Kare Bay to snorkel among coral reefs. Paddleboards, float boards, and water toys are free to use in the calm lagoon afterward, followed by fresh fruit and a complimentary mojito back on the catamaran.
On the return leg, the boat tries sea fishing off Promthep Cape; anything caught gets prepared as sashimi on board before the sunset. Group size caps at 46, and the price includes travel insurance, snorkel gear, snacks, and 4 photos per traveller on request. Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap rather than use a separate seat.

Itinerary
Sail from Phuket on a 40-minute luxury catamaran ride to Coral Island. As you arrive, the turquoise waters and white sandy beach welcome you to relax and unwind. Here you’ll have free time to soak up the sun, swim in the crystal sea, or take photos across the turquoise bay. If you’re looking for more excitement, Coral Island also offers optional water sports like parasailing, banana boat rides, and sea walking, making it the perfect start to your island-hopping adventure.
Continue your journey to Racha Island, often called the “Maldives of Thailand” for its crystal-clear waters and powdery white beaches. After arriving at Ao Ter Bay, a unique island tractor will take you to Ban Raya Resort where you’ll enjoy a delicious Thai buffet lunch with sea views.
The adventure continues at Kon Kare Bay, one of the island’s best snorkeling spots, where colorful coral reefs and tropical fish await. You’ll also have time to relax on the beach, swim in the turquoise lagoon, or explore the resort’s photo-worthy highlights such as the giant swing and bird’s nest.
Enjoy a fun-filled water activity session in the clear waters near Racha Island. Snorkel among colorful coral reefs, try paddleboarding, or play with float boards and water toys in the calm lagoon. This is the perfect time to explore, swim, and enjoy the sea at your own pace. After the activities, return on board the luxury catamaran where fresh tropical fruits and a complimentary mojito await, an ideal way to refresh, relax, and soak up the island views before continuing your journey.
Enjoy the final highlight of your journey with a relaxing sunset cruise near Promthep Cape, one of Phuket’s most iconic viewpoints. Try sea fishing right from the catamaran, and if you catch something, the crew will prepare it as fresh sashimi for you on board. As the day comes to an end, sit back with the sea breeze on your face and watch the Andaman sky turn golden and pink. It’s the perfect way to close a day on the islands, with good food, calm water and the sunset.
