5.7 Island Snorkeling Trip by Longtail Boat w/ Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 37 reviews · 6h 30m · from $27

Join an English- or Thai-speaking guide from Star Travel for a 6.5-hour longtail boat trip around Koh Lipe’s eastern islands. You’ll snorkel at coral reefs, stop at Koh Hin Ngam’s black-rock beach, eat lunch at Monkey Beach, and travel in a small group of up to 10.

“Le tour des 7 îles en snorkeling vaut la peine si vous découvrez ce type d’activité à Koh Lipe. Les spots proposés sont globalement très beaux, même si, parmi eux, seuls deux se démarquent réellement et méritent le détour. En revanche, si vous avez déjà pratiqué le snorkeling dans des destinations vraiment paradisiaques, l’excursion risque de vous laisser un peu sur votre faim ; mieux vaut alors profiter tranquillement de l’île de Koh Lipe. L’activité reste correcte dans l’ensemble et justifie sa note.”

“Due to weather. I does not go all the place as plan. I miss some of it. that is fine. safety is most important. The problem is the communication between the guide to visitors. totally does not know other languages. Cannot make any communication with him and we don't know the plan when the plan changes. I suggestion is to at least bring a person can communicate with visitors. that would be perfect.”

“very good snorkeling spots, lots of tropical fish! one stop to an island full of plastic garbage though, I did not understand why..but good for awareness Be aware that even though it says English tour the tour was in Thai so could not understand anything also this is not a guided tour but more like a taxi dropping you off at wonderful places. No safety instruction, no infos on the fish or nature you see no instructions at all so if you never snorkeled before I suggest you watch some videos beforehand I had to guess about what to do and for how long by looking at what other people…”

“I would give 3 stars to Star Travel Koh Lipe for the snorkelling tour. Positive points are that the program was followed, we received a lunch and watermelon and the two boys on the boat were kind. Negative points are that we came back almost 1 hour earlier, one of the snorkel place was not safe due to very strong current, too short lunch time on the beach and the two boys didn’t speak English so we received no explanation at all.”
