Racha Island, also known as Racha Yai or Raya Island, is one of the most beautiful and popular destinations for tours from Phuket. This tropical paradise is famous for its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear water, and amazing underwater world. If you are looking for the perfect place for a one-day trip or want to spend a few days in peace and tranquility, Racha Island will be your best choice.

What are the Racha Islands?

The Racha Islands are two picturesque islands located about 12 kilometers south of Phuket. They include Racha Yai and Racha Noi. Although both islands are stunning tropical paradises, they have their own unique features and differences.

Racha Yai

Racha Yai is the larger and more developed island, attracting most tourists. This is where the majority of tours go.

The island is known for its white sandy beaches, such as Patok Beach, Siam Beach, and Lah Beach, where you can enjoy crystal-clear water and a secluded atmosphere. The underwater world of Racha Yai is rich in coral reefs and diverse marine life, making it a great spot for snorkeling and diving. In addition, Racha Yai is home to fascinating creatures such as monitor lizards and mountain goats, which add a touch of wilderness and exoticism to your journey.

Racha Noi

Racha Noi, on the other hand, is a smaller, uninhabited island mainly attracting diving enthusiasts with its deep waters and diverse marine fauna. This island does not have beaches suitable for swimming, making it less popular for day tours.

So when it comes to tourist destinations, Racha Yai is the top choice for those who want to enjoy a beach holiday, breathtaking views, and various marine adventures.

How to get to Racha Island?

The only way to get to Racha Island is by speedboat, and independent travel is unfortunately not possible. Therefore, the only available option to visit this tropical paradise is to book a tour.

Racha Island Tour

Most tourists visit Racha Island through organized tours. The tour includes a speedboat transfer, lunch, snorkeling equipment, and free time to relax and explore the island. This trip ensures comfort and safety while allowing you to enjoy the island’s stunning beaches and rich underwater world.

Racha and Coral Island Tour

One of the most popular options among tourists is a combined tour that includes visiting both Racha Island and Coral Island (Koh He). This tour allows you to spend the morning on one island, enjoying snorkeling and swimming, and then move to another island for new adventures and stunning landscapes. This combined tour is a great way to make the most of your vacation and experience the best of both islands.
