Hop a traditional longtail from Koh Lipe for a five-island snorkel circuit through Tarutao Marine Park—soft corals at Koh Jabang, black-pebble Koh Hin Ngam, beach lunch on Koh Rawi, and viewpoints on Koh Adang. Expect clear water, guided snorkeling, and light walking.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A longtail cuts through placid Andaman water at first light, spray feathering the bow while limestone silhouettes grow sharper on the horizon. On this five-island loop from Koh Lipe you’ll step from sun-warmed decks into warm, clear seas where fringing reefs sit close enough to study without a boat ride—each stop offers a different mood: shallow coral gardens, soft coral fields, a beach of glossy black stones, and a wooded isle with viewpoints to climb.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply coral-safe sunscreen before boarding—creams rinse off and harm coral; a sun shirt is a good alternative.
Bring a fitted snorkel mask
Masks provided, but a well-fitting personal mask prevents leaks and lets you spend more time observing reefs.
Prepare for seasickness
Short ferry rides and longtail motion can unsettle some—take preventative meds if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Respect marine-park rules
Do not feed or touch marine life; follow guides’ directions to minimize reef damage and local fines.
