1st StopRacha(Raya) Island is one of the top island hopping destination and one of Phuket's most beautiful island. You will get one of the best snorkeling destinations in the area along with beautiful white sand beaches!
The tropical shores of Racha (Raya) Island are just far enough off Phuket's southern coast that the tourist troops haven't quite discovered it yet, but close enough to make it a worthy day trip destination. A 30-minute speedboat ride brings you to sun kissed beaches and turquoise waters favored amongst divers for coral reefs just teeming with aquatic life.
First stop is the island's most beautiful beach, Patok, where you can relax and swim to your heart's content. Excellent snorkeling awaits at Kon Kae Bay where giant star fish, puffer fish and rainbow trout can all be spotted. Enjoy a sumptuous lunch at restaurant before the warm waters and gleaming sands beckon you for a few more hours of swimming and basking in the sun.
