Racha Yai & Banana Beach Half Day

RACHA YAI ISLAND AND BANANA BEACH

Our two islands paradise tour allows you to discover two beautiful and diverse Andaman Island – Rachar Yai Island and Banana Beach, Koh Hey – on a one day trip from Phuket and will give you an experience that you will never forget.

The Two Island tour is not only great value but takes you on an amazing journey of there two stunning islands.

The Racha islands (or Raya Islands), some 12 km south of Phuket, are best known as excellent diving and snorkeling day trip destinations. Racha Yai, however, is quickly developing into a place to stay on for a while with a number of bungalow and resort operations springing up in recent years. Racha Yai reveals itself in splendid fashion, with most arrivals landing onto a strip of fine white sand tucked deep into the long, U-shaped main bay, called Ao Tawan Tok or Ao Bungalow. The water here is clear and perfect for snorkeling, though the bay gets quite busy with visiting boats in the afternoons. Racha Yai is home to The Racha, a splendid gateway resort. The other large bay, Ao Siam, is a pretty place where lonely strolls in solitude are possible.

Banana Beach is all about nature. It was a stunning place long before any person stood on its shore, and that natural beauty is still there today. So, when you embark on this fantastic daytime activity in Phuket, notice how boat noise is kept to a minimum around the beach and how most boats park out on the water, not on the sand. Watch the fish that swim around curiously in the crystal blue water, and see how the trees hug our buildings and Great Hornbill birds (the inspiration for our restaurant design) fly down from the hillside to have a look around. This is all part of keeping the beach’s identity.
