About this experience
The two idyllic Racha Islands; Koh Racha Yai and Koh Racha Noi, are also sometimes referred to as Raya Island and provide the ideal destination to enjoy nature. With some of the best snorkelling reefs in Thailand and quiet, tropical white powdery beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, they provide a balanced combination of relaxing, tranquil locations with amazing sea life. On the way home, make a stop at Mai Ton Island, which is well known for its dolphin spotting. You might just get the opportunity to experience a pod of these inquisitively playful creatures up close and personal. As intensely social animals, you might be lucky enough to have them play near the boat’s wake. Our experienced team will take you at the perfect spotting time – normally late afternoon, before you return to pier for the day.

Fantastic private diving experience
We booked a private boat and diving tour and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide was fantastic, and the whole team was friendly and professional, taking great care of us from beginning to end. Everything was very well organised, the boat and equipment were in excellent condition, and we felt completely safe and relaxed throughout the trip. It was our son's first time diving, and he absolutely loved it! The guide made him feel comfortable and confident, which made the experience even more special for us. We dived at several spots, and one highlight was seeing the underwater sculptures teeming with marine life – such a unique experience! A beautiful day, a wonderful crew, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommended!

Don’t go to anyone else except 5 star marine!
We had the best time with 5 star marine!! There was a group of 5 of us, and we said we don’t like over crowded places we love to snorkel and they provided exactly this even though it’s high season we went to one spot where it was just us!! The biggest plus for us is whilst we have been in Thailand my dad took a fall and has been on crutches with a suspected broken bone in his knee. The crew looked after him the whole time and even got him in and out of the sea so he didn’t miss out which we didn’t expect him to be able to do! The crew made the whole trip for us and it was our favourite day of the whole holiday! It was completely personalised and was even down to us when we came back. Thank you so much for the best day!

Top Notch service from booking to drop off :)
We had an amazing day out and Khun Beer and the 2 shipmates were amazing! Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Truly, a wonderful day out and everyone was super impressed with the snorkeling! Thank you all for an amazing day!!! The trip was fun and efficient and hassle/worry free for the parents and all the kids had a blast. The sea and marine life was spectacular- couldn't have asked for more :) Khun Beer is AMAZING as a guide, leader and father (he was wonderful with the unruly teenagers- both Thai and ferang 🙏🏼💜) 💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

Corals and stunning beach
Great experience, headed to Maiton island first, had very good and long snorkeling, 5 Star boat was first to arrive in a beautiful bay, and the closest one. Then went to Ko He, the Coral island, where we had snorkeling over lots of corals. To round up the experience finished on the gorgeous Banana Beach, soft white sand and clear waters, where we relaxed and also spotted corals in shallow waters, and many colored fishes. The team was top all the time, with our guide sexy Billy as main character. It was enjoyable and yet very professional. The private tour gave us the total freedom we looked for. I can absolutely recommend to take a tour, best private, with 5 Star Marine Phuket, thank you guys!!! Renzo.

Great day with 5 Star Marine
We had a great day with the family going to Racha Noi and Maiton. Team at 5 Star was very attentive and friendly, Captain handled the waves on the way out perfectly. Fresh frukt served onboard and they had booked a table for us at a restaurant. Thanks for a great day!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $34000 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 Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 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 Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour?
+
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 Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour?
+
Around 14 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour 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.
