Racha Island Discover Scuba Diving Tour from Phuket
| Discover Racha Island and Coral Island in one exciting day trip from Phuket, combining scuba diving, snorkeling, white sandy beaches, and clear Andaman Sea water. No diving certificate is required for the discovery dive, as professional instructors and dive masters provide close supervision. Enjoy Patok Bay, Coral Island, buffet lunch, hotel transfers, equipment, insurance, and a fun underwater adventure. |
Racha Island Tour: There are 2 Racha Islands (Racha Noi and Racha Yai), But Racha Noi is not suitable for touring, because it has only one small beach and on the water tide day there is no beach.
So, the nice trip is just on "Racha Yai Island." Racha Yai has 4 beaches around the Island. The site of diving and the site for snorkeling is located around the Island (everywhere is beautiful). The marine life under the water surrounding Racha Island is so beautiful.
Diving Site, Racha Island is the best site for diving of Andaman Sea. And it is the first destination for divers around the world. The best of the best, if you can do both Snorkeling and Diving on the same day will be the top.
Coral Island, known locally as Koh Hey, is one of the very first islands that put Phuket on the map as a famous destination. Located close to Phuket, just off Rawai Beach, the island boasts well-preserved coral reefs at Banana Beach. On the other side of the island, visitors will find a beach that’s perfect for water sports enthusiasts, offering a wide variety of water activities to enjoy.
Jc.Tour only is accepted. The tour provider does this special trip in Phuket as a good trip where you can do both Diving and Snorkeling in one day. What do we recommend? Please read all details, see the program as well as read the program carefully, before submitting the booking for this wonderful day trip.
Racha Island Tour: Both Diving and Snorkeling on the same day, we recommend reading the details, see the highlight pictures as well as see the program carefully, before submitting the booking.
Racha Island: This land is agreed by all the tourists from around the world that it is the most beautiful Island of Andaman Sea on the south of Phuket. The sand on the beach is filled and white looks like face powder. And the clear sea water next to the beach looks like a mirror. The 4 beaches around the island are always a great place for snorkeling.
In this package, Jc.Tour includes both Snorkeling and Diving to make the top level fun of Sea Tour. The diving in this package does not need any certification about the diving. We do it as Discovery Dive or Funny Dive in the other name. We have professional instructure and dive master looks after closure (For sure, all the people save)
Coral Island, it is the newest island, and the tourist like to stop here for water sport playing and snorkeling.
On the trip, we included a nice buffet lunch at the nice restaurant; having lunch as seeing 100% Patok bay sea view. There are different delicious dishes of Thai food as well as seafood on the buffet line.
