Racha Island Tours from Phuket
≈ 20 km south of Phuket · 35 minutes by speedboat
Racha Yai (also written Raya) lies about 20 km south of Phuket — roughly 35 minutes by speedboat from Chalong pier. Its white-sand Batok Bay, granite boulders and clear water make it the region's favourite snorkelling and diving stop close to Phuket; Racha Noi, further south, is reached on longer programs.
Cyber Tour sells Racha as a snorkelling-focused speedboat trip, as the combined Coral Island + Racha Yai day, and as a private charter for small groups.
How to get to Racha Island
