Excellent snorkeling!
Excellent snorkeling! The trip is booked on one of the large diving vessels and you will do snorkeling at the excellent dive sites that the boat drives to. Ofter doing snorkeling I am honestly doubfull if diving even offers a better experience. The water so clear and all of the beautifull corals are in 5-15m depth.

Excellent 3x snorkeling at a good price
The trip is booked on board of a large diving boat and we went snorkeling to the same excellent sites at Racha islands than the divers. The trip is well organised, do register at the Chalong Pier authority and upload photos. There automatic gates with face recognition. On the boat there is unlimited water and soft drinks. Breakfast, snacks and lunch is served which was excellent and plenty full. As for the snorkeling, the sites at Racha Island are stunning and honestly I question the value of doing proper scuba dives because everything that there is to see is relatively shallow water (5-10m).

Unfortunately, underwater...
Underwater, unfortunately, my husband's equipment failed. However, since he has diving experience and the guide responded to it, we were able to continue the dive with a short interruption. Our children have the 1. Diving in the sea very well liked.
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank, Petra, für die 4-Sterne-Bewertung! Wir entschuldigen uns für den Ausfall des Equipments. Wir sind froh, dass der Guide schnell reagierte und die Sicherheit gewährleistet war! Es freut uns besonders, dass Ihre Kinder den ersten Tauchgang so genossen haben. Die Zufriedenheit ist uns bei VGA VACATION Phuket Scuba Diving auf Racha / Maiton Island sehr wichtig!

Best diving experience for beginners
Had the best diving experience in Phuket. My Phuket Dive Trip was smooth from booking to the last splash. William handled everything quickly and kindly, and Joey, my dive instructor, was patient, professional, and gave personal care. I am a beginner and Phuket scuba diving is great for beginners with this team. The gear was well maintained and high quality. Highly recommend.

It’s wonderful to know that your entire Phuket Dive Trip was so smooth, from the moment you booked to your final splash.

We are so glad you appreciated the high-quality, well-maintained gear and are proud to be your top recommendation. We can't wait to welcome you back for another underwater adventure!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day cost?
+
Prices start at $2900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Phuket: 2 RACHA ISLANDS, 3x SNORKELING From Yacht Full-Day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
