The driver picked up the car on time, and the accompanying tour guide was fluent in both Chinese and English. There would be snacks, simple biscuits, tea, and seasickness medicine before setting off for the boat ride. Next, set out for snorkeling at Emperor Island. You can choose not to snorkel and go directly to Emperor Island. The hotels on Emperor Island are all private hotels and cannot be entered. There are only less than five grocery stores on the island where you can browse. There is a toilet but it costs 20 baht. After snorkeling, we will return to Emperor Island to meet everyone and take a ride to a restaurant for dinner. The restaurant has free toilets. After eating and taking a short rest, we headed to the coral island. There are many water facilities on the island that cost 600 to 5,000 baht at your own expense. You can rent a chair for 100 and go swimming. There are free toilets on the island. When the time comes, prepare to take the boat back to Phuket and then take the shuttle bus back to the hotel.

I chose this tour instead of the Phi Phi Island tour, which takes a long time to travel, because I wanted to enjoy it with my children. I also wanted to go to Phi Phi Island, but I was very satisfied with this tour! What was particularly impressive was the emerald green sea of Racha Island and the pure white sand beach with almost no stones. It is more beautiful than any beach I have ever visited, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was the most spectacular view I have ever seen in my life. It is worth experiencing the beauty directly on site. The tour guide Rio was also wonderful, and he explained things in English slowly and in simple terms, so it is not a problem even if you are not confident in English. I think that anyone traveling abroad alone would be able to understand the content. If I had to point out some areas for improvement, it would be that there were many tour participants and the seats on the boat were narrow, and the number of items at the lunch buffet was small. However, considering the price of about 5,000 yen per person, I am very satisfied with this quality. It was a great tour that was cost-effective and relaxing. If I visit Phuket again, I would definitely join the Racha Island tour again!

Very good. Easy to access and easy to join. I also participated in the Similan tour, but the weather was good and I thought it was more beautiful than Similan. Snorkels are available for rent (kids sizes available), and mouthpieces can be purchased for 100 baht if desired. Beach towels and other items are not available for rent, so you need to bring your own.

The performance is beautiful, integrating multiple elements, the costumes are gorgeous, and the performers are all beautiful! After the performance, you can also pay to take photos with the performers, which is worth arranging your itinerary.

Because I was short of time, I could only see the Giant Buddha from a distance. My driving skills were not good and the instructor kept an eye on me, so I could play with confidence. In the end, he even helped us take a video as a souvenir. It was a great experience.

Amazing experience!!! Right from the pickup from the hotel to the drop, everything was excellently arranged. It was my first dive and I was quite freaked out but a big thanks to my instructor Pai who made me feel very very safe right from my first jump. He clearly explained the instructions, patiently listened to all my concerns, questions and addressed them. He is super friendly and charming. And safety was the topmost priority.
