More private tours
hello can you tel me the price to snorkel around Racha and the neighboring island for one day?
We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 boys aged 13 and 11). We are staying at Patong Beach. We are looking for private boat tour to take us around to some of the sites and some snorkeling. My wife and younger boy prefer calm warm waters for snorkeling. We are looking to be on the water for 4-5 hours.
Our ideal date is Monday March 20th, 2023.
Hi, Banana beach (Coral Island) and the Khai Islands are close to Phuket and have easy snorkeling for kids. Phi Phi is further to go (about 1 hour by speedboat) so it’s a full day, but very beautiful above water and change to see reef sharks while snorkeling.
