Thailand's best snorkeling

We've been busy adding new snorkeling tours to our SnorkelingThailand.com website. We've also revamped the layout so it's now easier for you to find the best snorkeling tours from either Phuket, Khao Lak or Krabi.

We have snorkeling day trips to all the best reefs including the Similan Islands, Phi Phi Islands, Koh Racha and the Khai Islands. We also have half day trips by speedboat to local reefs which are full of fish. We also arrange multi day snorkeling tours with accommodation either on a liveaboard boat or camping in tents at the Similan Islands. We also have boats available for charter for private groups.

Most of our snorkeling tours are designed for all ages. Want to see manta rays underwater? How about leopard sharks or turtles? We know the best places.

Phuket Snorkeling

Queen Angelfish

Snorkeling is one of the best things to do in Phuket.

As divers we sometimes overlook snorkeling in favour of diving but snorkeling is just as much fun plus it's cheap, easy and suitable for the whole family. There are some excellent places to snorkel at the islands close to Phuket or even from the shore at Phuket's beaches.

Probably the best snorkeling is at the Similan Islands which can be reached by speedboat from Phuket. The water is the clearest and there are lots of shallow reefs full of fish life. Phi Phi Island also makes a great snorkeling day trip from Phuket with the chance to snorkel in the famous Mya Bay and also see monkeys on the beach.

Phuket's beach beaches for independent snorkeling are Kata Beach (south end), Karon Nui beach (le Meridien hotel), Jungle Beach (close to Naiharn beach) and Freedom beach (close to Patong beach).
