Racha & Coral Island Day Trip by Speedboat – Lunch Included

An 8-hour speedboat run from Phuket to two islands — Racha in the morning, Coral Island in the afternoon — with lunch, snorkel gear and hotel transfers built in, from $38 for a group capped at 10.

Pickup runs 8 to 9 AM, transferring to Chalong Pier before the boat departs for Koh Racha Yai at 9 AM. You get until 12:30 PM there — swimming, snorkeling and time on Siam Bay and Patok Bay. The boat then moves on to Kahung Beach on Coral Island for lunch and a 1 to 4 PM block where you can add parasailing, a banana boat ride, underwater walking or scuba, each paid separately on the day. Return transfer to your hotel wraps up by 4:30 PM.

Lunch, a life jacket, mask and snorkel and shared hotel transfers are included; gratuities and any water sports you add are extra. Free pickup only covers Patong, Kata and Karon — hotels elsewhere pay an add-on or meet the van at an alternate point, and the operator wants your hotel details at least 48 hours before the trip.

Good for a straightforward two-island day without organizing your own boat — the group tops out at 10, so it doesn’t feel like a cattle-boat trip. It’s not the easiest pick if getting in and out of a speedboat multiple times a day is a concern.

Safety Tip: The operator flags this trip as unsuitable for travelers with poor cardiovascular health and asks for at least a moderate fitness level — factor that in before booking.
