The close-in islands, twenty to forty minutes off Chalong and Rawai, where the snorkelling is easy and the sand is powder-white.

Phuket premium day trip to Phi Phi, Maya Bay, and Khai Islands with hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, lunch, and park fees at entry.
“Have done this tour a few times, not a bad tour but be very careful about watching the weather! Trip over was ok, a bit bumpy, but the trip back, 3-4m swell as per the weather report. Really should have considered if they cancel trip or postpone return. Was a lot of vomiting and scared people on the boat.”

Phuket 3 Khai Islands tour with snorkeling and downtime. Choose half or full day, get masks, lunch on full day, easy family fun.

Beginner scuba course on Koh Racha Yai with private tuition, two open-water sessions, full gear, meals, and Phuket hotel pickup for $162.73.
“This was our first dive ever and we had Sebastian as our instructor. He gave very clear instructions. Guided us smoothly under water and inspite of us not being expert swimmers, he made sure we didn’t miss out on anything. He even shot pictures and videos of us underwater. We would live to come back and do a certification with him. The tour overall was managed very professionally. Right from the hotel pickup in the morning to drop back at the end, every small thing was well thought of and was of high standard.”
Catamaran cruise from Phuket to Coral Island with snorkeling, drinks, and Thai dinner at Promthep Cape sunset.

Phuket speedboat day trip to Racha and Banana Beach on Hey Island with snorkeling, lunch, chairs, and optional parasailing. From $59.
“Racha Island was the highlight of the trip. Expect a full boat and potentially seating in the sun at the front. Lots of free time to explore each of the stops. Buffet lunch at Banana beach was good. Overall good value for money.”
All-in speedboat island hopping from Phuket to Maya Bay, Phi Phi, Khai, Bamboo, Maiton with lunch, snorkeling gear, and transfers.
“I thought that the staff on the group were most professional, Mint was an outstanding guide and our boat pilot was great, he handled our big speedboat (about 50 feet long) loaded with people like he was driving a 12 foot dinghy. All the assistants were also great in keeping us safe. I appreciated that the Nature Conservation fees were included in the package and we loved the snorkeling. Only two things bothered us. Lunch was ver late and we felt that the visit to Monkey Bay should have taken place after lunch. Monkey Bay is so close to Phi Phi Don’s restaurant area, it really wouldn’t have been that…”
Small-group Aeolos catamaran from Phuket to Coral and Racha Islands with snorkels, kayak and slide, plus lunch and a golden-hour sunset.
“Probably one of the best boat tours i have done in many years!!”
