Spend a full day exploring Coral (Koh Hei) and Racha (Koh Raya) islands by catamaran from Phuket — snorkeling, a beach lunch, optional water sports and a sunset fishing stop. Ideal for travelers who want accessible marine life viewing and a relaxed island circuit.

The catamaran cuts through the Andaman like a marker along the horizon as Phuket recedes and two small island worlds grow larger: the sugar-white strips of Coral (Koh Hei) and the rocky headlands of Racha (Koh Raya). Morning pickup at Chalong Pier is brisk; by late morning the salt air and a steady breeze set the pace for a 7–8 hour circuit of beaches, reefs and a slow sunset off the stern.

Protect coral and your skin — apply before boarding and reapply with a towel to avoid sunscreen wash-off in the water.

Shade on deck can be limited; a quick-dry shirt and hat reduce sun exposure between swims.
Secure seasickness remedies
Open sea runs and transfers to longtail boats can be choppy—take preventative meds if you’re prone to motion sickness.
