Racha & Coral Island-dagtrip per speedboot - lunch inbegrepen

I am so glad I gave this tour a chance.. the most beautiful pristine beaches and you have the beach to yourselves.. we came just after 9 and there was probably less than 10 of us on the beach .. more people arrived around 12:00 .. the fish come so close to you .. it’s a post card image

Very nice excursion between the islands Racha and Coral! Everything was perfectly organized! We even had the chance to be in a small group! Top! We recommend a thousand times!

We had such a blast on this tour. Mainly because it was simple. You can also call it a boat transfer with a free lunch. There’s no direct ferry to Coral Island or Racha Island. Unless you’re willing to spend crazy money on a private boat this is the next best thing. You literally pay for 5 hours of beach time and that’s exactly what we were after. Our tour guide L was so funny and cheeky exactly what you want on a holiday. We highly recommend this experience.

It was the right length of the day. There were clear guides regarding times and what to expect. Lunch was really good too. We were lucky with the weather too, but I wonder that you choose to go out on the lake without seasickness pills if you are seasick / motion sickness. It wasn’t windy yesterday but of course it’s a bit breezy, it’s open sea so you shouldn’t expect anything else. The islands were incredibly beautiful, and very different from each other- absolutely worth it!

For the first time we were disappointed by a trip. We booked a speedboat tour with Company Ban Raya from Phuket to Racha Island and Coral Island, The hotel pickup was on time. We were welcomed at the port in an appealing room, there was a sparse breakfast. Our tour guide must have been a general in the army once, at least he had a very stern tone. We lovingly christened him Major Pain. He took care of us strictly but caring and throughout the day also tried to contact each guest again and again. By the time it went to the boat, the boat was already full when half the group was still standing outside. We still naively thought there was a second boat coming. But no, the guests were ordered to move together so that the remaining 25 people could fit on the boat. From here, the trip was no longer fun for us. We sat crammed skin to skin with sweating strangers. In this tightness we should all put on a life jacket, which was then involuntarily funny, since no one really had room to move. The booking said that soft drinks were included, so we didn't have our own. There was only one water on demand. Arriving at Racha Island we had time to explore the small beach. This is beautiful, fine white sand and crystal clear turquoise water. The setting is beautiful except for the many boats. Since we knew in advance that there were so many boats, that was no problem for us. At a fixed time we met again with Major Pain, who brought us to lunch. We were crammed onto a tractor trailer and off we went to our restaurant. The room was large and appealing, the buffet was quite clear. There was water and cold water as a choice of drinks, no kidding. Major Pain made sure we all had food to eat and that none was lost. With 50 people from all over the world, it's not an easy task. After dinner we had another hour at the beach available. For the fact that so many boats lay in front of this small bay, the beach was quite empty and we found our quiet places to bathe. Then we went on to Coral Island, where many boats lay. We also admired the beautiful colors and clarity of the water. And to the left side of the beach it was quite quiet and we had plenty of space to swim. At the agreed time, we all gathered around Major Pain again. He kept counting his sheep so that no one would get lost. On the way back to the port we finally had a soft drink and some fruit for everyone. The bottom line is that we liked the islands very much despite the many people. However, we have never had such a bad company in all these years in Thailand. Major Pain really made the most of it, but for the first time we felt like it was all about the money, because the trip wasn't that cheap. That’s when we met completely different companies over the years.

I felt that the basic safety management was solid. Checking personnel when moving and monitoring system when snorkeling are also solid. I was able to participate with confidence, without any solicitation for aggressive optional activities. The cleanliness of the snorkeling point fish and coral is not comparable to Okinawa, but Phuket is probably the best experience. The beautiful white sand beach is the best for relaxing. There was a big hive on Coral Island, and I wondered what was there, and there was a bird that I thought was a toucan.

Booking for boat says max 10 NOT TRUE 35+ Island beautiful clear water, not deep seen plenty of fish. Lunch 🤮 Waited 1 hrs for bus to return us to hotel and after many trips to Thailand thought it was the first time I may die crazy dangerous driver.

Although this trip was very affordable, we wish we’d done something else instead. The boat ride to Racha was faster than expected, & we really enjoyed the cute little beach. LOTS of pretty fish to see there. It was busy, but less so than the mainland beaches. There were 2 small swim areas, but the water was crystal clear & warm. Then another short ride to Coral Island (He Island). We’re didn’t care for that one AT ALL! The nonstop smell of boat fuel/exhaust was overwhelming for the entire 3 hours there. We couldn’t escape it & found it quite nauseating. The lunch was ok. We waited in the boat for 26 minutes past our departure time to head back to the pier.

The day was awesome. Staff was great and the destinations were perfect. Lunch was better than expected. Would recommend.

Despite the rainy season, the weather was fine and it was great. I travel from island to island on a speedboard, and it shakes very I felt sorry for so many people who were seasick. I think it might be good to have a tour company contact you first. Seasickness will ruin our amazing tour 💦
