Koh Taen: One of the best spots to snorkel in Samui

The shallow waters allow for strong visibility of the coral reef. A prime area for swimming amongst the fish is on the south side of Koh Taen’s flawless white beach, where the vibrant marine life scatter around the dazzling structures built by the stony corals. Weaving around the rocky ridge is one way to discover the fantastical creatures of the Gulf of Thailand. If travelers want to continue to bask in the wonder of life below the sea, they will have to take a boat slightly further out. If they are on board the Samui Island Tour, they will have the chance to visit the Five Islands after experiencing the wonders of Koh Taen.

Samui Island Cruise – speedboat ride to the snorkeling location

Other places to consider snorkelling in Samui are Coral Cove and Silver Beach. Coral Cove – an inlet near Chaweng Noi – is surrounded by large boulders above and below sea level, which makes it a worthy location for avid snorkellers who love colourful marine life and unique landscapes. Silver Beach is close to Lamai and Chaweng. Like Coral Cove, it is a small haven for travellers keen on frolicking amongst the colourful fish population. Silver Beach remains a hidden gem amongst the coves to snorkel in Samui.

A day spent gazing at the rich sights of the coral reef and basking in the delights of the sun is a memory worth creating… especially when accompanied by a luxurious Samui Island Tour full of tasty treats and lively landscapes!
