Racha(Raya) Island is one of the top island hopping destination and one of Phuket's most beautiful island. You will get one of the best snorkeling destinations in the area along with beautiful white sand beaches! The tropical shores of Racha (Raya) Island are just far enough off Phuket's southern coast that the tourist troops haven't quite discovered it yet, but close enough to make it a worthy day trip destination. A 30-minute speedboat ride brings you to sun kissed beaches and turquoise waters favored amongst divers for coral reefs just teeming with aquatic life.
