Racha Yai and Coral island at sunrise
First on the island, fishing in open water, snorkelling and lunch on the beach
Two islands close to Phuket, reached before anyone else gets there. The boat leaves at six, the sun comes up over open water on the way, and you land on Racha Yai while the beach is still yours — which is when the water is clearest for snorkelling. There is deep-water fishing mid-morning, a second snorkelling stop over the reef, then lunch and an easy afternoon on Coral island.

Questions we get asked
Why go this early to islands so close to Phuket?
Racha Yai gets busy by late morning. Arriving at half past six means clear water for snorkelling and a beach that is still empty — the same islands, a different day.
Do I need my own fishing gear?
No, the tackle is on the boat and the crew shows you how it works.
Is this good value compared to the other island trips?
It is the cheapest sea day we sell, and it still includes park fees, lunch, snorkelling gear and the Comfort+ extras on the boat.
