“Whilst we didn’t like the first snorkelling site as it was very crowded, the other spots were incredible with such a diverse range of fish. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip: 3 snorkel sites, guide took great pics on the go pro, and a leisurely hour on a secluded beach before sunset. Excellent value for money!”

“Great snorkeling and exploring local islands to Koh Lipe. 4 snorkelling stops and 2 Island stops, plus one photo opportunity (the rock). It was quite relaxed trip. I was back to my apartment a but after 3pm. Not many explanations in English, but if you want just to snorkel - this is for you! The food was also alright and water provided as well as a delicioy watermelon.”
Spend six hours on a wooden longtail boat visiting Koh Kra, Koh Usen, Adang Island, Hin Khao, and Ao Mae Mai. You get hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, life jacket, drinks, fruit, boxed lunch, and group insurance. The English, Malay, and Thai-speaking crew handles transport, but this is mainly a boat trip with snorkeling stops rather than a fully guided nature tour.
“very good snorkeling spots, lots of tropical fish! one stop to an island full of plastic garbage though, I did not understand why..but good for awareness Be aware that even though it says English tour the tour was in Thai so could not understand anything also this is not a guided tour but more like a taxi dropping you off at wonderful places. No safety instruction, no infos on the fish or nature you see no instructions at all so if you never snorkeled before I suggest you watch some videos beforehand I had to guess about what to do and for how long by looking at what other people…”
Spend 5.5 hours by longtail boat around Koh Lipe and Tarutao National Park, with snorkeling at Jabang, Koh Yang, and Koh Adang, plus Hin Ngam’s polished black stones and lunch on Koh Rawi. An English and Thai-speaking guide, gear, fruit, water, lunch, and a small group of up to 10 are included.
“Sunny and the team were super helpful and responsive to any questions before the trip. The trip itself was excellent - although in our opinion the Jabang stop was very overcrowded with other tourists, many of whom seemed uncomfortable in the water, limbs flailing everywhere! That said, the other snorkeling stops were amazing - the best we've experienced on our trip so far, and the lunchstop on Rawi was absolutely beautiful - white sand, turquoise water, a real island paradise. A thoroughly enjoyable trip and a 'must do' for anyone staying on Lipe who wants to experience this underwater world first hand.”
Spend 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM on a private long-tail boat from Koh Lipe, visiting nine outer-zone stops including Hin Son, Ror Kloy, Monkey Beach, Hin Ngam, and Jabang. Snorkel gear, life jackets, and underwater photos are included, though lunch, park fees, and marine insurance cost extra. Guide Ta is praised for friendly service.
“The kindness and the flexibility of the driver. Beautiful weather and islands. No lunch provided and not option to buy before. Also no “under water photo” although it was mentioned in the things included. Overall it was good day trip.”
