The abundance of colourful marine life, warm waters and easy
access make snorkelling in Phuket and its nearby islands an enjoyable activity
for all the family. Swim among parrotfish, clownfish, needlefish, damselfish and
surgeonfish, and you may even spot an octopus or two peeking out from under a
rock. The Phi Phi Islands are an outstanding snorkel destination, with an
incredible variety and quantity of tropical fish and bright coral at several sites.
Join a day tour or arrange a private boat charter - trips run every day,
year round. Closer to Phuket are the Coral, Racha, and Khai Nok islands,
each featuring clear waters and abundant marine life just offshore. A bit
further away, but now easy to reach within a few hours by hydrofoil, are the spectacular
Similan Islands.
The Similans are world-famous for diving but snorkelling
in this pristine marine wonderland is a great experience for non-divers too. For
something a little different try exploring with a Power Snorkel and Sea Scooter,
which allow snorkellers to swim deeper and stay under water longer with the help
of a breathing tube connected to an oxygen supply and a hand-held motorized human
propeller. Trips run regularly to the Phi Phi and Racha islands. For honeymooners
and romantics, the Phuket Romantic Snorkeling Private Day Trip is a great way
to spoil your loved one. You'll be taken to isolated beaches to enjoy the beauty
of the surrounding islands of Phuket while escaping the crowds.

of flowers included. Snorkeling
