Snorkeling in Krabi: Yawasam Island, Talu Island & Bayu Beach

Three islands, three kinds of reef and fish in one morning and afternoon

Snorkel at Yawasam Island, Talu Island and Bayu Beach from Krabi with hotel pickup, a guide, lunch and all gear. The boat leaves Ao Nang pier at 10am and returns by 4pm. You'll see colorful coral reefs, clownfish and other marine life at each stop, with time to swim and relax on the white sand beaches between dives.

The experience

The car picks you up from your hotel and drives to Ao Nang beach, where you board at 10am. Yawasam Island is the first stop: the seawater is clear enough to see the coral reefs and schools of colorful fish without much depth, and the snorkeling works for both beginners and divers. Talu Island comes next, known for an underwater cave and clownfish (the Nemo fish the description names). The coral here is more elaborate and the fish more varied. You get a snorkel mask, life jacket and all the gear you need, plus a guide who speaks English and knows where to find the best spots.

Bayu Beach, the third stop, is smaller and emptier than the crowded alternatives. You swim here too, but the real point is the break: you eat a Thai lunch on the sand, drink fresh water and fruit, and have time to walk the beach or just sit. The whole day runs seven hours from pickup to drop-off. The boat leaves Ao Nang at 10am and gets back by 4pm, so you're back at your hotel by late afternoon.

The operator includes a guide, hotel transfer both ways, snorkeling gear, lunch, drinking water and fruit, plus accident insurance. A first aid kit travels with the group. Note that the national park fee (200 baht per adult, 100 baht per child) is separate and paid on the day. Children from age 1 can join. The tour runs with a minimum of 10 people, and the operator will reschedule or refund if that number does not book.
