KOH LANTA HOTEL GUIDE | Snorkelling on Koh Lanta
Snorkeling is one of the most popular activities in Koh Lanta. Most of the tourists when they visit on Ko Lanta. They will buy a day trip for snorkeling. Ko Rok Trip or Four Islands trip ( Koh Ngai, Koh Mook, Koh Chuek, Koh Kradan ). Since the island possesses many islands, each of which offers the magnificent underwater paradise, there is a day or a few-day-trip for snorkeling on the scattering islands. The most popular destination for snorkeling is Koh Rok, the beautiful island within the Koh Lanta National Marine Park. Because of the white sand beach and crystal clear water that you can see the coral reefs and fishes. And it' s more easy from here to get to these islands. The island is famed for its abundant and colorful coral beds and breathtaking panorama.


Recommendations from fellow travelers
Should be able to book a trip snorkelling from most places in Ko Chang and most are selling the same trip at different prices, we paid 500 baht per person while most others were charging 700+. Will be picked up from your resort (or where ever u say) in the morning and brought to Bang Bao the village port on stilts. This is where the boats leave from. The boat then takes you to probably 3 locations for snorkelling and a beach to chill at half way. The snorkelling is great at Ko Chang with plenty of marine life and coral to see. The beach though is probably the best beach i've seen and i've seen a lot in Thailand. You will be fed on the boat with a barbecue onboard mostly sea food but some potatos and stuff aswell and different types of sauces. You can also buy crisps and tins of fizzy pop if u don't like the food. The boat I was on had a small dinghy speedboat aswell with it which took people out for trips and pulled people along and just fooled about which was a good laugh. Best thing about it was flying fish would jump out of the water and fly along beside the boat.

I bought an underwater camera 500 baht at the local 7/11 but the photos weren't great as you can see by my photo. The colour does'nt show and the feesh in the photo are meant to be yellow it looks hundred times better to be there than the photo as it has also been scanned. Should bring a digital camera with an aguapac for better photos. You get snorkelling equipment onboard but you maybe charged for flippers as i was.

Try to get a snorkeling package from Ban Bang Pao. More choices there and the price might cheaper. I get a package at 450 baht which include snorkeling at 4 places, lunch and fruit along the trip.
