Snorkeling Adventure | Full Day | KOH TAO, THAILAND

Oxygen Snorkeling Adventure

Morning Itinerary

The morning trip will begin at around 9.30 am when you will be picked up from your hostel/hotel. After you have reserved your space, you will be asked to submit your accommodation and the staff will let you know your pick-up time in due course. The organised transport will take you to the Oxygen main office, located at Mae Haad. 

At around 10.20 am you will set off on your snorkeling adventure. The first stop will be Nang Yuan Island, home to one of the top 10 beaches in the world! There is a viewpoint that you can hike to here which is well worth the effort – the scenery is beautiful. If you are looking for a more chilled morning, then you will be pleased to hear that there are plenty of good snorkeling spots here too. Keep an eye out for colourful fish and corals around the bay.

Once you have spent some time at Koh Nang Yuan, you will head to Mango Bay, a truly spectacular beach. There are more great snorkeling spots here and you have the chance of seeing a whole range of marine life. A tasty lunch will be served on the boat.

Around 2.00 pm, you will arrive in Hin Wong Bay, an area that boasts many species of both hard and soft corals. You will spend some time snorkelling here before heading off to explore Aow Luek. This stunning beach is a great spot for both swimming and snorkeling.

Arguably, the main highlight of this tour is the stop in Shark Bay. Here you can snorkel with the Blacktip sharks which is an incredible experience. It is even possible to see sea turtles here as well! 

You will return to the main pier, located at Mae Haad. From here, you will be driven back to your accommodation. 

Afternoon Itinerary 

At around 11.30 am you will be picked up from your hostel or hotel in Koh Tao. You will get an email to let you know the exact time of the pick-up once you have submitted your accommodation to the team at Oxygen. After checking-in at Oxygen’s office in Mae Haad, it will be time to set off! 

Your first stop will be the incredibly beautiful Nang Yuan Island. You can snorkel around the bay here or hike up to a beautiful viewpoint. Don’t forget to bring a camera or phone with you so that you can snap some pictures!

The next stop will be Hin Wong Bay or Lighthouse Bay where you can enjoy a snorkeling session. There are many different species of both hard and soft coral here. 

Lunch and fresh fruit will be dished up on the boat before you head to Aow Luek for more snorkeling! Marvel at the colourful fish swimming around you and see if you can spot any of the bigger marine life that frequent the waters around Koh Tao. 

The next stop is Shark Bay, a favourite of many backpackers! Here it is possible to see Blacktip sharks which are a lot bigger than they look in the photos. Don’t worry though, they won’t eat you! 

Once everybody is back on board the boat, you will all have the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful sunset whilst you journey back towards Mae Haad pier. After you arrive, Oxygen’s team will transport you back to your accommodation.
