Snorkeling program prerequisites

There are no requirements for the snorkeling program. We do ask people to assess their own limits and comfort. We also ask people to be aware that even with a person on the watch for emergencies, there are no guides dedicated to snorkeling.

What is included in the snorkeling program

The program includes everything needed for the trip out. No surprise fees or additional rental. Bring sunscreen, a towel, and a smile and you are set. We will take care of the rest.

  • Rental of the full kit of gear, including: mask, fins, snorkel, rash guards, local wildlife guides for fishes and corals, towel
  • Fruits, and, of course, drinking water.

Prices for snorkeling

Prices are 1500 THB per person and 700 THB per child (under 8 years old).

Prices are based on a 4-person group.
