Coral and Racha Island Catamaran Tour in Phuket by We Love Andaman

We are enjoyed this trip with good view. Staff service very good and take care all the passengers, especially photographer.. she is very good service and professional. Unfortunately, we couldn’t have snorkeling and fishing activities due to big wave, but we got a lot of beautiful photos taken by staff photographer.

Staff take good care + are very friendly. The trip might be a bit short. have little time to play in the water But if wanting to see the sunset atmosphere, it is considered okay at a certain level.

A lot of people on the boat, about 30 people. If you are outside the district, you will not pick up at the hotel Have to drive by yourself or have to pay to get more But overall, buy it in the promotion 1 get 1, it is considered good value for money, there is water, dinner and fruit to eat as well, but food on Coral Island is not free. The sea is very clear as well.

Nice trip ,responsible guide and crew stuff,amazing water in Coral island and also by the end of the trip was I little surprise fishing in the sea under the sunset !!!

Overall, very positive impression! The team was friendly and organized, lunch, fruit and drinks were included. We spent about 1.5 hrs on each island which is not very much compared to the time in the sea - 3 hrs to Racha, 1 hr to Coral and about 1 hr back to Chalong. This is something to consider - I’d probably prefer a faster boat and more time on the island, however many people seemed to enjoy the sailing experience on the catamaran. On Racha island you can walk to Siam Bay and find an almost deserted white beach. On Coral island they dropped us at Kahung beach which is the main place for day trips. But I liked Banana beach more, next time I’d go there. Overall, we enjoyed the trip!

Awesome half day excursion to Coral Island. Beautiful beach with fun-filled activities like swimming, snorkeling, canoe, parasailing and more. Finally, got to enjoy the sea-breeze and sunset at the south most tip of Phuket. Sunset was gorgeous! We had a great and funny guide as well!

The service is excellent , especially Tom has served us well and also the rest of the crews. We can’t enjoy the trip as per itternary due to the weather and sea was rough , some people onboard got seasick. But the kids liked it. Maybe can improve the foods quality!

Prepare your popcorns people. Booked a full day tour and ended up returning to the boat back to the accommodation at 2 pm. Due to bad weather. Pickup at 7am was punctual, we were the first to arrive at meeting point at 720, waited till 845 (without us knowing) for other travellers. That’s fine. Since it’s a group tour booking. The weather was on and off raining and that’s fine too because no one could control that too. Initial plan according to the crew – raya > coral > fishing > dinner by the waters with the sunset view. Before heading to the boat, crew ran through a safety brief in both mandarin and english which I guess helps since there’s Chinese on board too. Everyone was excited but little did we know what’s gonna happen next. We’re not the best to judge the weather forecast but maybe they could have suggested going onto another island (as accordingly to the itinerary, without snorkelling if the weather isn’t safe for us travellers) instead of ‘let’s go back the weather is bad and we couldn’t see much even if you snorkelled’. That was one strike down. Also, only when we’re on the boat they told us to sign a disclaimer form stating we had to return to shore if it’s bad weather. Why can’t they do it when we’re waiting for the rest to arrive the port? We would have cancelled. Anyway.. Reality – coral > fishing (10 mins, will come to that later hahahaha) > back to the accoms. We reached our accommodations before 330pm. Stayed in Coral island for a good 2-3 hours, BY THE BEACH. Beach was relatively clean, water is clear too. Activities? Down to two - banana boat and the speedboat. It’s unexpected? Fine. No snorkelling was allowed due to the high tides. Understandable (but they said snorkel by the shore is allowed). Sure. They warned us about the sea urchins, understandable. They gave out snorkel gears? Understandable- incase we wanna go slightly deeper into the water (let’s say hips height). One of us accidentally lose the snorkel goggles to the wave and was demanded to pay 10,000 bhat. Fine, it’s our mistake. But is this the practise? It wasn’t stated that we have to pay any damages in the event of such situation, in that form we told to sign. Sure, moving on. At slightly pass 2 pm, back to the boat for lunch. Lunch was great, food was nice. Traditional mixed rice style. There’s fruits and water provided too. After lunch, it was ‘fishing time’. They gathered people to the top deck on one side of the boat and handed out nylon strings. Uhm, imagine those basic- kids friendly kite flying handles. Yes those, again, that’s fine. Just to entertain them abit. Less than 10 mins, everyone was told to stop and we’re heading back to the island. Fast game? On the way back, crew asked for feedbacks and tips 5,000 bhat. That’s reasonable not too bad if the itinerary was flexible and cut short. We’d never heard any awkward silence through the journey in this boat, only till this moment. True enough, not just us, there’s a few commented ‘nope, not even fun’ ‘not like what’s described’ ‘maybe they just wanna quickly drop us off and cut the trip short, who knows’, ‘even if the weather is bad, shouldn’t that have a backup plan? considering they’re the professionals in the water’. Take some time to consider. Wasted nearly 4 hours and money knowing we paid for a full day. Are they scamming? You decide. Hahaha. Maybe I’ve covered the highlight of this booking (even on behalf of the people on the boat). Are we cheapskate? I guess not. Weather wasn’t even rainy or dark. Trip was cut to half and paid full day price. Uhm? So, do consider half day instead if you wanna go. Unforeseen circumstances, understood.

Smooth tour. Love that it was a peaceful journey on the Catamaran. Although we only had less than 1 hour on Coral island because it’s slower by a catamaran than a speed boat. Snacks were provided and staff was friendly and funny. Will definitely book again!

I am glad we signed up for the tour. Beautiful sunset and friendly staff onboard. Definitely is the highlight of the trip!
