Raya Yai and Raya Noi Private Tour - Maldives of Thailand
Discover two of the most beautiful islands near Phuket on the Raya Yai & Raya Noi – Maldives of Thailand Private Tour with Phuket Travel Store. This exclusive private speedboat tour from Phuket is designed for travelers who want a relaxed, flexible and unforgettable day exploring the crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches and spectacular tropical scenery of Raya Yai Island and Raya Noi Island.
Known for their beautiful turquoise waters and pristine beaches, the Raya Islands offer some of the most impressive island scenery near Phuket. With your own private speedboat, you can enjoy both islands at a comfortable pace, spending the morning discovering Raya Yai and the afternoon experiencing the quieter beauty of Raya Noi.
Unlike a shared island-hopping excursion, a private boat charter from Phuket gives your group more privacy and flexibility. Whether you are traveling as a couple, family or group of friends, this is an excellent way to experience the Maldives of Thailand without feeling rushed.
Private Speedboat Tour from Phuket
Your adventure begins with a comfortable transfer to the departure point in Phuket, where you board your private speedboat and begin your journey across the Andaman Sea.
The short journey from Phuket takes you toward the spectacular Raya Islands, where clear turquoise water, white beaches and lush tropical landscapes await.
Because this is a private Raya Yai and Raya Noi tour, your experience is more personal and flexible. You can relax with your own group, enjoy the scenery from the boat and make the most of your time on the islands.
The itinerary is designed to visit Raya Yai in the morning and Raya Noi in the afternoon, giving you the opportunity to experience the different character of each island.
Morning – Explore Raya Yai Island
Your first destination is Raya Yai Island, also known as Racha Yai Island, one of the most popular tropical islands near Phuket.
Raya Yai is famous for its beautiful beaches, clear water and excellent snorkeling opportunities. The island's main beach area offers soft white sand and inviting turquoise water, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing morning.
Take your time to enjoy the beach, swim in the crystal-clear water, relax in the sunshine or explore the beautiful surroundings.
Swimming and Snorkeling at Raya Yai
One of the highlights of the Raya Yai private tour is the opportunity to enjoy the island's clear waters.
The surrounding sea can offer excellent conditions for snorkeling near Phuket, with colorful tropical fish and coral formations beneath the surface. Whether you are an experienced snorkeler or trying it for the first time, the beautiful water around Raya Yai provides a memorable experience.
For travelers who prefer to relax, there is no need to spend the entire morning in the water. Simply enjoy the beach, swim, sunbathe or take photographs of the spectacular scenery.
Raya Yai is also an excellent place to enjoy a relaxed beach break before continuing to the quieter Raya Noi.
Afternoon – Discover Raya Noi Island
After enjoying the morning on Raya Yai, continue by private speedboat to Raya Noi Island.
Raya Noi is known for its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful white sand and stunning turquoise water. Compared with the more developed Raya Yai, Raya Noi Island can feel more remote and untouched, making it an ideal afternoon destination for travelers seeking tranquility.
Enjoy a relaxing walk along the beach, take photographs, swim in the clear water or simply sit back and enjoy the tropical surroundings.
The beautiful combination of white sand, turquoise sea and natural scenery is one of the reasons travelers describe the Raya Islands as the Maldives of Thailand.
Relax, Swim and Enjoy the Beach
The afternoon at Raya Noi Island is all about enjoying the natural surroundings at your own pace.
You can spend time swimming, sunbathing, walking along the beach or simply relaxing beside the beautiful Andaman Sea.
The private-tour format means you can enjoy the island with your own family, friends or travel companions without having to follow the pace of a large group.
For photographers and social media travelers, Raya Noi also provides excellent opportunities to capture the natural beauty of Thailand's tropical islands.

Customer Testimonials
Yaowarat Bangkok Food Tour
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Bangkok! We booked through Phuket Travel Store, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Our guide was excellent—friendly, informative, and full of interesting stories about Bangkok's Chinatown and its amazing food scene. We sampled a fantastic variety of authentic dishes at local eateries and street food stalls, all of which were delicious. The portions were generous, the pace was relaxed, and the experience felt very authentic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok. Booking through Phuket Travel Store made everything easy, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!
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!
Excellent day!
Excellent day by boat to visit the 4 islands, the guide was super friendly and welcoming. The day was rhythmic but lorgic with 4 islands to visit! And end around 2:30 pm so it’s rather nice to return quietly to the hotel not too late! Nice discovery, I recommend!
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.
