Dive into the Blue
For those who crave the thrill of the ocean, the Snorkeling Adventure offers an unparalleled experience. Available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on both days, this tour takes you to the pristine reefs of Koh Tao and Koh Nangyuan. The journey begins with a speedboat ride to Koh Nangyuan, where three small islands are connected by a unique stretch of white sand. Here, the crystal-clear waters invite you to dive in and explore the vibrant marine life.
Koh Tao, known as a paradise for swimmers, offers some of the most scenic dive and snorkel sites in the Gulf of Thailand. As you snorkel through the “Under Sea world,” you’ll be mesmerized by the colorful coral reefs and the diverse marine life that surrounds you. The tour includes a delicious lunch at a local eatery, where you can recharge before continuing your underwater adventure.
“Amazing! - This was 100% worth it. I had such a great day and genuinely enjoyed every minute. Some people were complaining because the speed boat was full of people and the tour is not private but I don’t think that is a problem. Also be careful if you get motion/sea sickness because there is a lot of time on a boat. If you want sea, snorkelling, beautiful beaches and plenty of food and drinks (included) then sign up!” - Reviewed on 2024-03-29
