Why You’ll Love Aeolos
A Small-Group Way to See Racha
Aeolos is designed for guests who do not want a large-group boat day. With a recommended capacity of around 22 guests, the tour feels easier, calmer and more personal while still covering Coral Island Banana Beach, Racha Island and Promthep Cape.
Sailing Catamaran Comfort
The sailing catamaran layout offers plush sofas, net lounges and open sea views. Guests can relax between stops, take photos and enjoy the route at a gentler pace than many standard island-hopping tours.
Two Islands and a Sunset Finish
The route combines Coral Island Banana Beach, Racha Island and Promthep Cape sunset in one day. Guests can enjoy beach time, snorkeling, water activities and a scenic evening cruise without arranging separate transfers or activities.
Snorkeling and Easy Water Activities
Aeolos includes two snorkeling opportunities, paddleboard, kayak, slide and hand-line fishing. The activities are approachable and well suited to families, couples and guests who want light ocean fun.
Fresh Onboard Meals
A buffet lunch, fruit, soft drinks and drinking water are included. Meals are served onboard, giving guests a more relaxed sea-day feeling without needing to organize food separately.
A More Relaxed Sunset Cruise
The day closes near Promthep Cape, one of Phuket’s most scenic sunset areas. After snorkeling, beach time and water activities, guests can enjoy a softer end to the day from the catamaran.
