Overview

Go Where Other Boats Don't Reach

Cruise out on a large motor yacht to Racha islands, far enough offshore that most Phuket boats skip it, meaning clearer water and more marine life than crowded routes.

Three Sites, Three Different Worlds

Snorkel Manta Bay for turtles and rays, Banana Bay for dense fish schools and moray eels (rare whale shark chances too), then finish at Bay One's rehabilitated coral gardens on Racha Yai, home to leopard sharks in shallow, clear water.

Fed and Comfortable All Day

Hot breakfast buffet on the way out, a full hot lunch buffet onboard between snorkel stops, plus snacks and drinks all day.

Great for Families

Kids from age 6 can join, with life vests, masks, and adult fins provided, and a guide in the water with you at every stop.

What to expect

Start with hotel pickup (Rawai, Naiharn, Kata, Karon, Patong, Kalim, Kamala), then board your motor yacht at Chalong Pier. Enjoy a hot breakfast buffet during the 1.5-hour cruise to Racha Noi, Phuket's most remote, least crowded snorkeling grounds.

First stop: Manta Bay, a snorkel with your guide among sea turtles, rays, and dramatic coral in some of the clearest water near Phuket.

Next: Banana Bay, a sheltered cove with a different reef landscape. Snorkel among dense schools of tropical fish and resident moray eels while a Thai and international lunch buffet is served on board. It's also the only nearby site where whale sharks are occasionally spotted.

After a short transit, arrive at Bay One on Racha Yai for your final snorkel session among artificial reefs built to rehabilitate coral, home to leopard sharks and rays in shallow, clear water. Relax on deck with snacks and soft drinks before cruising back to Chalong Pier and transferring to your hotel by approximately 17:30.

Life vests, masks, and fins (adults) are provided, and a guide stays in the water with you at every site. Basic swimming ability required; minimum age 6.
