Snorkeling Koh Lipe: Five islands in Tarutao Marine Park

Drift between five islands and drop into soft coral gardens without leaving the boat

A full-day snorkeling tour around Koh Lipe visits five islands in Tarutao Marine Park by longtail boat, with stops at Koh Yang, Koh Jabang, Koh Rawi, Koh Adang and Koh Hin Ngam. The tour includes snorkeling equipment, life jacket, lunch and drinking water. The itinerary is subject to change based on sea conditions and travel times between islands.

• Discover Koh Adang's beaches and trails

The experience

Koh Yang opens the day with calm turquoise waters and vibrant coral gardens: the kind of protected snorkeling spot where you can ease in without current or surge. From there the longtail moves to Koh Jabang, where soft coral reefs and tropical fish fill the shallows. Koh Hin Ngam breaks up the water time with its black stones and legend. Koh Rawi is where you beach for lunch beneath shady trees and swim in clear water. The final stop is Koh Adang, ringed with coral and fish, before the boat returns.

You get snorkeling gear and a life jacket for each site. Lunch is a box meal eaten on the sand. The five-hour day accounts for boat travel between islands, so the actual time in the water varies depending on sea conditions and how the guide paces the stops. Drinking water is supplied throughout.

Children from age four can join. Infants sit on an adult's lap. The tour runs in all weather short of cancellation, though the itinerary can shift if conditions change or if one island becomes inaccessible. A national park fee of 200 baht per person is collected separately at the pier.

What’s included

• Snorkeling equipment and life jacket.
