Yes — basic snorkeling equipment and life jackets are included, but many travelers prefer to bring a personal mask for fit and clarity.
Families are welcome; infants must sit on laps and life jackets are required — non-swimmers should stay in shallow guided areas or on the boat during snorkeling sessions.
Typical inclusions are hotel pickup/drop-off in Phuket, lunch, snorkeling equipment, admission fees and an English-speaking guide; optional water activities may cost extra.
