Raya Island / Mai Ton Island Private Boat Tour
Description
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.

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!

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 🙏🏼💜) 💜🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

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.

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!

It was an amazing experience! The crew was incredibly professional and flexible with our wishes. One piece of advice: don’t hesitate to start early in the morning. Our taxi picked us up at 6:30 from our hotel in Surin, and we were the first people at the first two snorkeling spots. The fish seemed to be waiting just for us! It wasn’t the cheapest way to visit the islands, but after that day, it was absolutely worth it. What a great experience—thanks again!

We had an absolutely fantastic trip. The guide was so sweet, and vas very good ant talking English. He told us a lot about the things we saw on the way. We event to Raya Iceland first, and were one of the first people there. It was amazing. After that we had two great snorkel trips, one with lots of jellyfish, but that was also an experience. And then we were extremely lucky to see dolphins, which was one of our biggest wishes. The restaurant was also a great experience. In addition, we would like to send a huge thank you to the incredibly skilled captain, who led us safely and expertly through the somewhat wild water. Just a huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful and completely unforgettable trip.

It was a fantastic experience, everything organized to perfection. Facilitates booking for watsapp and everything as described. An excellent crew that showed us magnificent places with the added value of having the boat all to ourselves.

We had such an amazing day!! 5 Star Marine were so great with communication throughout the whole experience and leading up to our day. We were nervous as we were coming to Phuket in May and were worried about the weather but that did not make a difference in our great experience. Or was beautiful weather, Nook our travel guide was exceptional, we even asked for the best Thai cuisines which she gladly gave us several restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend booking a private boat tour with 5 Star Marine.

Absolutely perfect experience from all points of view. Perfect reception with snacks and drinks, quick explanation and departure without delays. The islands are wonderful and the snorkeling spots are absolutely fantastic. Raya's beach is a moving postcard. Yaya and the staff were super welcoming and helped us in every aspect of the day with some precautions not taken for granted. 5 stars absolutely the best tour carried out on our holiday in Thailand
