Featured Experience


Without a doubt, one of the most special moments is when you finally see a majestic turtle swimming freely. A magical moment that makes time stand still and reminds you how incredible it is to share the sea with these creatures. Although they don’t always appear — they are wild animals, after all — when they do, the experience becomes unforgettable and makes snorkelling truly unique.

“Respect the environment and never chase or touch the turtles.”


We carefully select the best snorkelling spots according to the conditions of the day. However, as these are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Even so, the chances are high and the experience is always worth it.


Itinerary

10:00 - 11:00 Morning Pickup

  • Pickup will be from your accommodation. The exact time will depend on the location of your accommodation and the number of participants. As this is a group tour, we kindly ask for punctuality and understanding, as slight delays may occur due to traffic or other circumstances along the route.

Start of the Adventure

  • We’ll board at the picturesque Mae Haad Pier, ready to explore the wonders of Koh Tao’s underwater world.

SNORKELLING STOPS

Stop 1: Koh Nang Yuan, the Eden of Three Islands

  • An iconic paradise: Discover the unique beauty of Koh Nang Yuan, a small archipelago where three islands are connected by a spectacular white-sand sandbar. Here you can explore the famous "Japanese Garden", considered one of the best snorkelling spots in the area.
  • Island entrance fee: Please note that, as the island is privately owned, an entrance fee is payable to contribute to its conservation. This fee is not included in the tour price.

Stop 2: Hin Wong Bay, an Underwater Spectacle

  • Our next stop takes you to Hin Wong Bay, considered one of Koh Tao’s most beautiful coves. Dive into its crystal-clear waters and discover a vibrant ecosystem home to an incredible diversity of soft and hard corals. Keep an eye out for the fascinating mushroom corals and anemones that provide shelter for families of the iconic clownfish.

Stop 3: Tanote Bay, Views and Marine Life

  • We’ll continue to Tanote Bay, a place that will captivate you with both its panoramic beauty and rich underwater life. Dive in and enjoy the spectacle of swimming surrounded by dense schools of fish, a truly memorable experience.

Stop 4: Shark Bay, an Unforgettable Encounter

  • The moment you’ve been waiting for arrives at the famous Shark Bay. Here you’ll have the incredible opportunity to swim alongside graceful and harmless blacktip reef sharks. Keep your eyes open, as the area is also frequented by majestic sea turtles and, with a little luck, you may have the privilege of encountering one.

17:00 - Return and Farewell

  • We’ll cruise back to Mae Haad Pier, where our transfer service will take you back to your hotel with unforgettable memories of an incredible day.

Responsible Snorkelling

Let’s Protect the Marine Treasure of the Gulf of Thailand

We invite you to enjoy its reefs and marine life with respect. This ecosystem is fragile and depends on all of us to preserve it.

Avoid touching or standing on corals, as they are living organisms that are highly sensitive. Observe the fish without chasing them or disturbing their natural behaviour.

Do not collect shells or natural elements, as they are part of the ecosystem’s balance.

Whenever possible, use biodegradable sunscreen to help protect the reefs.

Small actions can make a big difference. Taking care of this environment is the best way to continue enjoying it today and in the future.
