Top 4 Snorkeling Day Trips in Thailand

1.Ko Tao: Tao-Nangyuan Snorkeling Day Trip with Meals & Sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 711 reviews · 8h 30m · from $62Our pick

Spend 8.5 hours aboard Royal Mariblue, circling Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan with a small group of up to 20. Snorkel at Japanese Gardens, Mango Bay, Hin Wong, Aow Leuk, and Shark Bay, with guides such as Zin or Lucky, fresh meals, underwater photos, kayaks, paddle boards, and a sunset BBQ.

“Really nice day spent on a boat going to different snorkeling spots. The crew is great and very attentive, meals and snacks are delicious. The guide was very good at taking us to different spots where we could see interesting things. We got lucky cause there was only 4 of us on board which was amazing - almost private tour! But they never overcrowded the tour which makes it really worth the money. Much more comfortable and you can hit more spots / enjoy your time. I cannot recommend this option enough!”
