The snorkeling around Koh Haa can be some of the best in Thailand, especially when conditions are good and we can snorkel at the beach on Koh Haa Yai, or at The Lagoon in the center of these spectacular islands.

These six islands are just a short speed boat trip from Lanta, and are home to a huge variety of marine life, hard and soft coral gardens, millions of fish, and countless other marine species.

Snorkel trips to Koh Haa depart from the south end of Long Beach around 9 am, with travel time by speedboat normally around 30 minutes, depending on weather and sea conditions.

All of our snorkel trips have two stops, with a break for lunch between the dives/snorkel sessions, usually returning to Lanta around 1:30 pm.

About 20 km south of Koh haa are the shallow and gently sloping reefs around the picturesque and coral-fringed islands at Koh Rok, home to some of the most famous snorkeling spots around Koh Lanta.

These two beautiful tropical islands provide super diving and snorkeling areas, suitable for both the beginner snorkelers and for more advanced snorkelers, with the divers exploring the deeper parts of the reef.

Koh Rok snorkel trips depart Koh Lanta at 8 am, with travel time by speedboat normally around 50 - 60 minutes depending on weather and sea conditions. We usually stop for lunch on the beach, returning to Lanta around 2 pm.

For the perfect dive or snorkel trip, you can also book a private boat charter from Koh Lanta to some of the most beautiful islands, beaches, and coral reefs in the southern Andaman Sea.

If you want to try scuba diving on Lanta, you can include this in a private charter day trip. Simply tell us at the time of booking and we will check a few health questions with you to make sure you're safe to dive.

We recommend either Koh Rok or Koh Haa as two of the best snorkeling destinations in this part of Thailand.
