Racha Noi Racha Yai Maiton Island Hopping Tour with Phuket Travel Store
Discover Three Dream Islands in One Perfect Day
If you’re looking for an unforgettable island-hopping experience in Phuket, the Racha Noi – Racha Yai – Maiton Island Tour is one of the most exciting day trips you can book with Phuket Travel Store. This full-day adventure takes you through three breathtaking islands known for their white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, vibrant marine life, and postcard-perfect views — all in one seamless journey.
Each island offers something truly unique: Racha Noi Island (also called Raya Noi or Racha Noi) is quiet and untouched, Racha Yai Island is lively and perfect for snorkeling, and Maiton Island is famous for its playful dolphins that sometimes appear near the boat on the way back to Phuket.
Raya Noi Island – The Hidden Treasure of the Andaman Sea
Raya Noi Island is the southernmost of all the islands near Phuket and feels like a secret paradise still hidden from mass tourism. Locals often call it the Pirates Beach because of its untouched beauty and remote atmosphere. Here, you’ll find a breathtaking beach that divides the sea into two sides — a natural sandbar where the ocean meets from both directions. This spectacular landscape creates some of the most photogenic scenes anywhere in Thailand.
Walking barefoot on the powder-white sand, swimming in the crystal-clear water, and taking pictures surrounded by shades of turquoise and emerald blue — it’s a dream come true for travelers who seek peace and natural beauty. Unlike other beaches near Phuket, Raya Noi Island remains calm, clean, and exclusive, making it one of the most precious islands in the Phuket province.
During your stop at Raya Noi, you can relax under the sun, explore the shoreline, or simply float in the shallow lagoons. The scenery here is similar to the world-famous Similan Islands but much closer to Phuket. This is the kind of paradise that defines a true tropical escape.
Raya Yai Island – Snorkeling Paradise Near Phuket
A short boat ride north brings you to Raya Yai Island, also known as Racha Island, one of the most beloved snorkeling destinations near Phuket. The island’s main beach, Ao Patok, is shaped like a horseshoe cove with calm water and soft white sand surrounded by hills. It’s easy to see why many travelers call it the Maldives of Thailand.
Under the surface, Raya Yai Island offers a colorful underwater world filled with coral gardens and schools of tropical fish. Snorkeling here is an unforgettable experience — the visibility is excellent, and the sea is shallow enough for beginners yet exciting for experienced swimmers. The water’s clarity often rivals that of the Similan Islands further south, making it one of the best spots for snorkeling in Phuket.
You’ll also find a few cozy beach cafés and small restaurants on Racha Yai Island where you can enjoy a Thai lunch with ocean views. Whether you’re snorkeling, swimming, or just sunbathing, Raya Yai Island is pure tropical perfection.
Maiton Island – The Home of Dolphins
On the return trip from Racha Islands to Phuket, your boat will pass by Maiton Island, a small private island surrounded by sparkling blue water. Maiton is often referred to as the dolphin island, because wild dolphins can sometimes be seen playing in the waves around the boat. Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat is a magical moment that makes this day trip even more memorable.
The area around Maiton Island also offers fantastic snorkeling opportunities with healthy coral reefs and bright tropical fish. It’s the perfect way to end a day full of sea adventures and natural beauty.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
