Fishing
The hotel pickup was well-organized. We were provided with lunch on the boat, which was very well organized. The downside is the trolly fishing. With 10 people on the boat, it's impossible. Perhaps they should actively fish all day to keep everyone occupied.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re pleased to hear that you found the hotel pickup and lunch arrangements on the boat to be well organized. Your suggestion about keeping everyone more actively engaged throughout the day is very helpful, and we will certainly take it into consideration as we look for ways to improve the experience for our guests. Thank you again for your valuable input. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better experience in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Good time not so much fishing, beautiful water
It was overall a good trip for the money the fishing wasn’t crazy and the rods were old so if you’d like a fishing specific trip I’d book private. Snorkeling was fun but we had brought our own gear.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the trip overall value of the tour. Your comments are very valuable and will help us continue improving the experience for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another tour in the future. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team

Fishing Racha
Good day and managed to nearly everyone landing some good fish, good crew and captain. Bit of wind on the return in open water but never a concern.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you had a good day overall. We truly appreciate your review and hope to welcome you again next time. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team

Horrible Experience
The trip was very disappointing. My expectations wasn't even too big since fishing can't be guaranteed. 1. The boat was overcrowded, 9 or 10 people fishing + 3 or 4 kids on board, and had to be in the same side of the boat when dropping the line. You can imagine how hard it was to keep the line not get tangled to each other. 2. The crew was definitely either lazy or was part of SOP, I don't know. But we only moved once. No burley bucket, not even have more than 1 kind of bait. 3. I asked to use a small part of the oily fish that we caught as bait, because we only caught 5 or 6 baby fish, less than 30cm, but the crew refused. 4. We were promised for 2 sessions of fishing and 1 session of swimming & snorkeling. But it was only 1 session of fishing and 1 session of swimming, no snorkeling offered even though it was mentioned in the website that snorkeling equipment is included. 5. The fishing gear were in the beat up condition. 6. No crew really speak english in the boat, the information in the website wasn't true. Overall, this trip is a huge waste of time & money.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered, including the overcrowded boat, limited fishing time, lack of snorkeling activity, the condition of the gear, and the communication difficulties. This is not the level of service we strive to provide, and we completely understand your frustration. Your comments have been forwarded to our operations team for immediate review. We will work with the crew to ensure improvements are made, such as limiting the number of participants, ensuring proper equipment and bait variety, and better communication regarding the trip itinerary and inclusions. We also take note of the importance of having English-speaking crew members on board and will address this as a priority. We truly regret that your experience fell short, and we would like to thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to offer you a better experience in the future. Kind regards, Oh Hoo Travel

Just ok
Please do not allow trip dates that are full, to be booked online! I booked and paid online for the specific day that suited my holiday. Then later that day I received an email to say the trip was full so they changed my booking. Not easy or ideal!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by being able to book a date that was already fully booked and for the disruption this caused to your holiday plans. Your feedback is very important to us, and we understand how frustrating this situation must have been. We will share your comments with our team to help improve the accuracy of online availability and avoid similar issues in the future. Thank you for your understanding, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at $2560 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 Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket?
+
Around 9 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Racha Island Game Fishing & Trolling From Phuket 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.
