Snorkeling in Koh Lipe
You don't need to be a diver to enjoy Koh Lipe's incredible underwater world. The shallow coral reefs around the island and neighbouring uninhabited islands offer stunning scenery easily accessible from the surface.
Join one of our organized snorkel trips to visit the best spots in Tarutao National Marine Park, or simply walk into the water from the beach and explore our house reef at your own pace. Warm, clear water and abundant marine life make every snorkel session memorable.
Whether you're a first-timer or experienced snorkeler, our team will make sure you have a safe and unforgettable experience in some of Thailand's most pristine waters.
Snorkel Experiences
From multi-site day trips to night snorkeling adventures — choose the experience that suits you best.
Day Trips
Join our organized snorkel trips visiting multiple sites across the marine park. Each trip includes stops at pristine coral reefs, uninhabited island beaches, and lunch. Visit sites like Koh Rawi, Koh Adang, and Koh Hin Ngam — all teeming with tropical fish and healthy coral gardens.
Night Snorkeling
The underwater world transforms after dark. Armed with a mask, snorkel, and torch, explore our house reef to observe nocturnal marine life — hunting octopus, sleeping parrotfish, and bioluminescence on darker evenings. A unique experience you won't forget.
House Reef Snorkeling
No boat needed — our house reef is accessible right from the beach at Castaway Resort on Sunrise Beach. Rent a mask and snorkel from the dive shop and explore at your own pace. The reef is full of colorful fish, corals, and marine life just metres from shore.
Join Your Diving Partner
If your partner or friends are diving with us, you can join the same boat and snorkel at the same sites. Spend the day together on the water even with different activity levels — divers go deep while you enjoy the shallows above.
