Pattaya Snorkeling Tours - Family Fun around the Coral Islands
Snorkeling Tours in Pattaya don't require any specific training and most people that join the trips can snorkel safely by themselves. Strong swimmer - or not - holidaymakers in Pattaya can escape the crowds for a relaxing day around the Tropical Reefs, taking photographs of fish and cooling off in the refreshing, calm waters of Koh Larn and other nearby Coral Islands. Family fun in Pattaya can be inexpensive and simple and we aim to show you how.
Snorkeling can produce benefits for people of all ages and there are no specific age barriers for this water based leisure sport. Young children gain confidence and comfort while swimming and splashing around in the oceans and the elderly receive tremendous therapeutic gains from a little light exercise around the shallow bays and stimulating scenery. No formal training or lessons are required to snorkel and most people can use the gear very easily after some general tips and advice. It is an ideal sport for families to participate in together which makes it a great pastime for vacationers to seek some budget priced leisurely swimming adventures away from the hustle and bustle of Pattaya.
Typical Snorkeling Equipment consists of;
- A Mask & Snorkel
- Wetsuit
- Diving Fins
- Flotation Vest
- Waterproof Camera (optional)
There are many tour companies in Pattaya offering snorkel trips and other water sport activities, but equally there are many that cram customers into a small speed boat with very little shelter from the strong sunlight and without proper medical and toilet facilities. We suggest that you consider the size and comfort of your chosen sea transport with an emphasis on quality for the overall enjoyment of the experience. Our professional guides can offer tips and help for novice snorkelers and for those who've never breathed through a snorkel tube before we have some useful guidelines from our PADI Snorkeling Instructor.
- Always use a mask de fog solution before you enter the water (saliva works too)
- Attach the snorkel to the mask strap securely
- Swim on the surface and look down and ahead at approx 45 degree angle to avoid the snorkel dangling in the water
- Breathe cautiously and if water enters the snorkel try to blast the water clear
- Pace yourself and try to avoid swimming in strong currents and surface chop
Modern snorkeling gear allows you to peer beneath sea level and appreciate the vibrant beauty of the corals and marine life in the shallows near to the shoreline. Coral reefs generally thrive better in warm water with lots of sunshine. The Gulf of Thailand has an average water temperature of thirty degrees and thus has many coral island reefs within an hours' boat trip from the Port and daily snorkel tours are generally available for less than the price of a family meal. Departing around 09.00am and usually returning late afternoon, allows a fun packed day full of fresh air, clear water with unrivalled peace and tranquility.
The nearby islands of Koh Larn and Koh Sak tend to be busier for boat traffic though very popular with tourists being ferried from the marina at Laem Bali Hai. Weather and sea conditions permitting, we prefer to take our guests to the more remote islands of Koh Rin, Koh Pai and their neighbouring pinnacles where the water clarity is almost always better, the corals are more dense and colourful, and there is a distinct lack of jetski's and power boats to contend with.
Sea life in Pattaya and Thailand tends to be mainly hard coral formations such as brain coral, table coral and the stag horn variety. Tropical fishes that inhabit these structures are mainly small reef fish such as damsel fish, sergeant major fish, butterfly fish and surgeon fish. We are also lucky enough to see turtles and dolphins in the area though these tend to be an occasional glimpse rather than regular sightings.
The resort of Pattaya is blessed with a fairly stable weather pattern and snorkeling trips can be enjoyed almost any day of the year. The south west monsoons that arrive around May don't tend to cause too many problems for tour companies with sturdy dive boats and the refreshing sea breeze of the 'winter' months tends to keep them free from rain and high humidity. So, if you're searching for something a little more relaxing than the normal chaos in Pattaya and a lot of Fun - Take a Snorkeling Tour around the Coral Islands.

When snorkeling in Bermuda, do we need flippers?
My husband and I are taking a cruise to Bermuda and we want to go snorkeling at a few of the beaches that they say is best for seeing the fish. (Elbow Beach and a few others)
We are trying to cut down on the luggage we take and the equipment we need to carry around the island with us for our water sports. Do the beaches for snorkeling go very deep or have strong waves that would need us to bring flippers? Or can we get away with just the mask and snorkel?
I think you could get away with just a mask and snorkel. There are some nice areas to snorkel in Bermuda, and when we went we didn't use any flippers and saw a bunch of fish and other ocean life. They have some gorgeous beaches, and if I remember correctly it's either Tobacco Bay or Horseshoe Bay that has some caves you can go into on the side area of the beach. Have fun!!!
