I recently embarked on an island-hopping tour to Racha and Coral Island in Phuket, Thailand, and it was an unforgettable experience! The tour exceeded my expectations, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, snorkeling, and exploration.

I went to sea on a comfortable yacht. When making a reservation, we requested a seat on the 2nd floor. If you enjoy a club atmosphere, I recommend a seat on the 1st floor. If you want a comfortable, couple-only time, I recommend a seat on the 2nd floor! There are male and female restrooms, and a simple shower that can be used after snorkeling. No shower possible. I had some personal time on the first island I visited and had a great time snorkeling on the second island, Racha Island. It was a very satisfying tour.

The main reason we chose to arrive in Phuket on this trip was because we wanted to try diving. The weather changed very quickly that day. After taking about 2 hours on the boat, we started today's diving journey (remember to take seasickness pills, my friend vomited many times during the trip XD). Since my friend and I were diving for the first time and our companions didn’t know how to swim, during the boat ride, instructor Pomme carefully taught us about diving safety matters. Her sense of humor and patience greatly reduced the anxiety of our companions. He always accompanied and guided us during the journey and checked on our physical condition. Pomme will also choose a suitable place for shooting according to our situation. We are very lucky to have Coach Pomme. She is very kind and friendly. She also recommended many local delicacies and attractions to us, which made the whole trip more interesting.

I liked everything very much, but for some reason I was not offered scuba gear and diving. Racha beach is very clean, the water is clear, the sand is fine!!!

I booked a diving activity in Phuket on Klook. The overall experience was great and worth recommending to everyone! The instructor was very professional and friendly. He taught one-on-one and carefully guided us on diving techniques and precautions. They also always paid attention to our safety when underwater, which made me feel very at ease when I tried diving for the first time. The luckiest thing this time was that we actually encountered sea turtles! It was an unforgettable experience to see sea turtles swimming gracefully up close. The underwater world is colorful, with all kinds of fish and corals. The instructor also took a lot of wonderful photos for us to record this wonderful diving trip. The photo composition is beautiful and the image quality is clear. My partner and I are very satisfied. It is very convenient to sign up for diving activities through Klook, the price is reasonable, and the itinerary is well arranged. The staff are friendly and pick up and drop off on time.

It exceeded my expectations! In particular, the snorkeling point at Racha Island was the best compared to anywhere else in the country. The water was clear, and there were so many beautiful fish and corals. I also really liked the sandy beach of Batok Beach, which I stopped by briefly. The best experience in Phuket..
