Koh Tao Snorkeling Tour

Barracudas, corals, exotic fish… Go snorkeling in Koh Tao and discover the astonishing and varied sea life of this stunning island.

Tour Details

At the indicated time we'll meet at the diving centre on Sairee Beach, where you'll be given a few instructions by your English-speaking monitor, fill out a questionnaire, and receive all the necessary equipment. Once we're ready, depending on time, we'll enjoy the coastal views while we wait to board a boat.

We'll then walk 150 metres (under 500 feet) to the Koh Tao Pier. From this dock, you'll weigh anchor and head to two different sites off the coast of Koh Tao. These locations vary depending on the season and the weather conditions. Upon arrival at the sites, plunge into the water and discover what lies beneath the surface as you snorkel along. We'll show you how to snorkel safely while we tell you interesting facts about this region's marine life.

Enjoy as many snacks like biscuits and fruit, as well as water, tea, and coffee  as you want during the trip. The boat also has toilets, zones with comfortable sofas to relax in the shade, and an area at the ship's front to sunbathe. Here, you'll be equipped with the snorkel equipment: the life jacket (obligatory), mask, breathing tube and fins.

During the two stops, jump into the incredibly clear water and snorkel to admire the beautifully colored corals and the tropical fish that live in shallow water. After the first immersion, we'll return to the boat to re-energise with the onboard snacks, as we sail towards the second snorkeling point. If you wish, you can also bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks. This tour will come to an end at the starting point.

How It Works?

You will start your snorkeling adventure by meeting at the diving centre on Sairee Beach, where you will receive instructions and equipment for the activity. After a short walk to the Koh Tao Pier, you will embark on a boat that will take you to two different snorkeling sites, chosen based on seasonal and weather conditions.

While on the boat, you will have access to snacks, drinks, and comfortable seating. You will be given the requisite snorkel gear and will receive guidance on snorkeling safety. You will have the opportunity to explore clear waters and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life.
