Leave Phuket early for a full day of speedboat hops, white sand beaches and guided snorkeling at Coral, Maiton and Racha Islands. Expect multiple reef stops, a buffet lunch, and a chance to spot dolphins on a typically 8–9 hour excursion.

Morning light hits the wake as the speedboat peels away from Rung Siam Pier and the Andaman Sea opens like an invitation. The islands arrive in stages — first the low, reef-ringed spine of Coral Island, then the private-feeling curve of Maiton, and finally Racha’s long white beaches. Salt spray, the thump of the engine and the sharp scent of sea create a rhythm that keeps you moving between coves, snorkel sites and sandbars.
