Review of Koh Lipe’s $19 Longtail Boat Snorkeling Trip A, with coral reefs, six island stops, lunch, and free underwater photos.
“well organized, good value for money, lunch provided was a nice and welcome touch.”
Spend seven hours snorkeling seven Thai islands, spotting clownfish, rare coral, and smooth black stones for a low-cost Ko Lipe adventure.
“My husband and I joined two snorkeling tours (A and B) with Wichit Tour, and we had a wonderful experience on both. The team provided all the necessary gear, as well as lunch, water, and fruit. The captain even took photos and videos during the trip, which were later shared with us through a download link. Communication was smooth. My only suggestion would be to provide a bit more information about the marine life we can expect to see at each stop (perhaps with some photos on the boat). Other than that, everything was great!”
Compare morning, afternoon, and sunset snorkeling from Koh Lipe, with longtail boats, coral reefs, GoPro photos, fruit, and small groups.
“Whilst we didn’t like the first snorkelling site as it was very crowded, the other spots were incredible with such a diverse range of fish. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip: 3 snorkel sites, guide took great pics on the go pro, and a leisurely hour on a secluded beach before sunset. Excellent value for money!”
Snorkel Ko Lipe’s outer islands by longtail boat, with clear water, colorful coral, lunch, GoPro photos, and nine scenic stops.
Review of Koh Lipe’s 7 Island snorkeling trip by longtail boat, with coral gardens, black-rock beaches, lunch, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“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.”
Spend six hours island-hopping from Koh Lipe by longtail boat, with coral snorkeling, white beaches, lunch, fruit, and Jabang’s seven-color reef.
“C'est le circuit A, le circuit B nous a beaucoup plus plu les coraux sont bien plus beaux, la variété des poissons aussi. À ce circuit on a trouvé que on aurait pu faire qu'un seul endroit pour tout voir. Guide très sympathique. Merci pour les photos.”
Review of Koh Lipe’s seven-point snorkeling trip, with coral reefs, black rocks, island beaches, lunch, hotel pickup, and practical booking advice.
“Great snorkeling and exploring local islands to Koh Lipe. 4 snorkelling stops and 2 Island stops, plus one photo opportunity (the rock). It was quite relaxed trip. I was back to my apartment a but after 3pm. Not many explanations in English, but if you want just to snorkel - this is for you! The food was also alright and water provided as well as a delicioy watermelon.”
Explore Koh Lipe’s East Zone by longtail boat, with five snorkel stops, lunch on Adang Island, hotel pickup, and a low $28 price.
“Very nice crew. Good snorkeling. Unfortunately it ended up being a 4 hour tour instead of 6 because someone didn’t feel well. Only got to half of the spots.”
Snorkel colorful reefs, visit black-pebble Hin Ngam, and lunch on Koh Rawi on a value-packed longtail boat trip from Koh Lipe.
“Sunny and the team were super helpful and responsive to any questions before the trip. The trip itself was excellent - although in our opinion the Jabang stop was very overcrowded with other tourists, many of whom seemed uncomfortable in the water, limbs flailing everywhere! That said, the other snorkeling stops were amazing - the best we've experienced on our trip so far, and the lunchstop on Rawi was absolutely beautiful - white sand, turquoise water, a real island paradise. A thoroughly enjoyable trip and a 'must do' for anyone staying on Lipe who wants to experience this underwater world first hand.”
