What to Expect When Visiting Rassada, Phuket, Thailand
Escape the crowds from Phuket and explore Koh Khai, Koh Yao Yai, Mosquito Island, Bamboo Island and the famous Phi Phi Islands with a plenty of beach time and great snorkeling at stunning tropical lagoons and islets framed by tall limestone cliffs. The full-day tour is operated on a speed boat with up to 35 passengers and brings you to 6 unique islands including lunch and BBQ skewers at Phuket Island Hopper Pier in the evening.
Stop At: Phuket Island Hopper(Thailand), 29/12 Moo 1, Thepprathan Rd Rassada Subdistrict, Phuket Town, Phuket 83000 Thailand
You will be picked up at 8am directly from your hotel lobby and transferred to Phuket Island Hopper Pier where you will get a light breakfast and a warm introduction from the guide about all the parts of the trip.
After a 15-minute boat ride to Koh Khai, you can spend 45 minutes with snorkeling and relaxing at the snow-white beaches of this small island tucked away in Phang Nga Bay. One special characteristic of Koh Khai is that it has at least twelve types of exotic tropical fish and they aren’t afraid of humans.
Continue to Koh Yao Yai where you can chill in beach chairs before having a Thai style lunch at the private restaurant. Head further to Bamboo Island slowly passing the northeasternmost island in the Phi Phi group, named Mosquito Island. The waters of the island host splendid soft coral reefs as well as an impressive abundance of marine life, making it a stunning snorkelling spot.
Bamboo Island is a stunning tropical hotspot that offers the perfect getaway from the crowds. Measuring roughly 600m wide by 700m long, the island is almost shaped like a heart and is entirely surrounded by a strip of white sand and a reef that spreads up to 500m from the shore. Its central part is covered with lush vegetation including Casuarinas trees and the Bamboo trees that gave its name to the island.
The next highlight is a cruise around Phi Phi Leh and into the famous Maya Bay. Here one can glimpse a bit of ‘The Beach’ but only from the boat as Maya Bay is currently closed by Thailand’s Department of National Parks. In Phileh Lagoon you can take spectacular photos of the 600m long canyon framed by 100m tall limestone cliffs and snorkel on the east side of Phi Phi Leh on coral reefs in crystal-clear waters.
Cruise slowly past Viking Cave which owes its name to the paintings found on the eastern southern walls of the cave. Here you can also find one of the most profitable local industries, the harvesting of swiftlet birds’ nests. Spot monkeys from the boat at Monkey Beach, who often come down to the stunning 150m-long strip of white sand from the lush vegetation in the back.
Go ashore at Ton Sai Bay to explore Phi Phi Don, the bustling heart of Phi Phi with many souvenir shops and restaurants. Then it’s time to go back to Phuket Island Hopper Pier where you can taste some BBQ skewers before returning to the hotel.
