Phuket Snorkeling - Snorkeling in Phuket Thailand

This can be enjoyed in sheltered bays all around Phuket. It is particularly enjoyable at easily accessible reefs at Patong, Karon and Kata beaches.

Snorkeling equipment, fins, mask and snorkel, can be rented on a daily basis from shops all over the island.

Snorkeling in Koh Khai

From Phuket, Koh Khai is about halfway to the famous Phi Phi islands, and can be combined with a trip there, or a day trip to the Racha islands for some good snorkeling.

Snorkeling in Koh Racha Yai

Racha Yai island is an excellent place for beginner divers and snorkellers to start their diving adventures in Thailand. 1.5 hours from Phuket the island's dive sites offer 45 to 90 feet of visibility across hard coral gardens in the shallower waters with remarkable staghorn coral reefs down to 90 feet.

Racha Yai Island has clean, powdery beaches like those of the Similan Islands. On the east, at Ao Kon Kae Bay, is a coral reef where the diving is excellent. With well preserved hard corals in both shallow and deeper water, snorkeling and scuba diving are the favorite activities.
