Koh Racha Noi & Koh Racha Yai: Guided Speedboat Tour + Transfer + Lunch

About this experience

The Koh Racha Noi and Koh Racha Yai guided speedboat tour is a full-day excursion from Phuket covering two islands in the Racha archipelago, roughly 20 kilometres south of Phuket. The tour runs approximately 14 hours and begins with a shared minivan pickup from hotels in Khao Lak, transferring guests to a pier before boarding a speedboat south towards Koh Racha Noi. The first stop is Pirates Beach, a sheltered bay suited to swimming and paddling, with an optional hike to a viewpoint above the coastline. The speedboat then moves to Banana Bay on the same island, a snorkelling site noted for its coral and sea life. After Koh Racha Noi, the group travels to Koh Racha Yai, where a buffet lunch is served on the island. A second snorkelling session follows in the clear shallows around Koh Racha Yai before the return journey to Phuket, which passes Maiton Island, an area where dolphins are occasionally spotted. Booking covers hotel pickup and drop-off from Khao Lak, a live guide, speedboat transfers, buffet lunch, snorkelling gear, soft drinks, snacks, water, towels, and national park entry fees. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. Cancellation terms apply before a specified date, confirmed at the time of booking.

Before you go

Arrival and timing Your hotel pickup in Khao Lak marks the start of a full day out, so be ready in your hotel lobby at the confirmed pickup time. The tour runs for 14 hours in total, covering a shared minivan transfer to the pier in Phuket, a speedboat journey to two islands, lunch, snorkelling, and the return transfer to Khao Lak. Pack everything you need for a long day on and around the water before you leave your accommodation. During your visit Snorkelling gear, towels, soft drinks, snacks, and water are all included, so there is no need to bring your own equipment. A buffet lunch is served on Koh Racha Yai; let the guide know in advance of any dietary requirements. Wear or bring a swimsuit, sun protection, and footwear suitable for both a beach and an optional coastal hike to a viewpoint on Koh Racha Noi. Keep personal belongings secure on the speedboat and in waterproof bags where possible, as conditions at sea can be choppy. Follow your guide's instructions at all snorkelling sites and stay within the designated swimming areas.
