Thailand · TOURS IN KO LIPE
Good tours in Ko Lipe fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Spend six hours exploring Koh Lipe’s inner islands by traditional longtail boat. You’ll snorkel over seven-color coral at Jabung, see Hin Ngam’s polished black stones, stop at Koh Yang and Adang, and eat lunch on Rawi Island. English and Thai-speaking crew provide gear, safety help, and free underwater photos and videos.
“Great snorkel trip, highly recommend. Can’t fault it”
Spend seven hours on a longtail boat from Koh Lipe, stopping at eight island beaches and reefs. Look for Nemo, parrotfish, stingrays, feather stars, and seven-colored coral. Your captain can help in the water, while lunch, gear, fruit, water, and underwater photos are included. Expect a small group of up to 10 people.
“many boats arriving in the same time at same spots. we started late and came earlier, so if you count time while waiting in front of the office, then it's ok. snorkelling was great especially last stop. good value for the money. boat ride was fun. I really enjoy it. Shame that spots are so overcrowded.”
Join a small group of up to 10 people for a Koh Lipe snorkeling trip by traditional longtail boat. Choose a morning, afternoon, or sunset schedule, with stops at Jabang, Hin Ngam, Koh Yang, Koh Rawi, or Adang. Your guide provides gear, fruit, water, insurance, and GoPro photos. Guide Boy has been praised for taking plenty of helpful photos.
“Perfect timing! I also did the full day program B and that was too long. We got to three amazing dive sites with this trip. We also stopped at two beaches and got to see sunset from the boat. You need to be at the office at 2pm for the 2:30 start time.”
Meet near Reggae Bar on Pattaya Beach for a group longtail boat trip around Ko Lipe’s outer zone. You’ll visit clear shallow bays, coral sites, Monkey Beach, Hin Ngam’s black stones, and Jabang’s seven-color reef. Aman has guided some departures. Lunch, gear, fruit, water, insurance, and GoPro photos are included.
Spend about six and a half hours exploring Koh Lipe’s eastern islands by traditional longtail boat. An English or Thai-speaking guide leads a small group of up to 10 people to coral gardens, sea fans, Monkey Beach, Koh Hin Ngam, and Jabang. Lunch, fruit, water, snorkeling gear, and a life jacket are included, but the national park fee is extra.
“Le tour des 7 îles en snorkeling vaut la peine si vous découvrez ce type d’activité à Koh Lipe. Les spots proposés sont globalement très beaux, même si, parmi eux, seuls deux se démarquent réellement et méritent le détour. En revanche, si vous avez déjà pratiqué le snorkeling dans des destinations vraiment paradisiaques, l’excursion risque de vous laisser un peu sur votre faim ; mieux vaut alors profiter tranquillement de l’île de Koh Lipe. L’activité reste correcte dans l’ensemble et justifie sa note.”
Set out from Pattaya Beach on a local longtail boat for a six-hour Koh Lipe snorkeling trip. You’ll visit Koh Hin Ngam, Rawi Island, Koh Yang, Koh Adang, and Jabang Channel, with masks, life jackets, lunch, drinks, and fruit included. Expect Thai and English support, a 200 THB park fee, and weather-based route changes.
“Very nice snorkeling trip (4 dives) and 1 meal on an island with beach And the little extra, the dessert made with fresh fruit on board the boat”
Join Hub Vacation Company Limited for a seven-hour Koh Lipe snorkeling trip by wooden long-tail boat. Staff collect you from selected Koh Lipe hotels, then take you to Jabang, Hin Ngam, Hin Son, Koh Ro Kloy, Koh Phueng, and other stops. Expect coral gardens, sea anemones, island scenery, a boxed lunch, drinks, and basic snorkeling gear.
“Great snorkeling and exploring local islands to Koh Lipe. 4 snorkelling stops and 2 Island stops, plus one photo opportunity (the rock). It was quite relaxed trip. I was back to my apartment a but after 3pm. Not many explanations in English, but if you want just to snorkel - this is for you! The food was also alright and water provided as well as a delicioy watermelon.”
Spend six hours snorkeling from a local wooden longtail boat around Koh Lipe, Koh Kra, Koh Usen, Adang Island, Hin Khao, and Ao Mae Mai. You get hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, drinks, fruit, a boxed lunch, and group insurance. The trip is best for confident swimmers who want several reef stops at a low price, not a fully narrated marine-life tour.
“very good snorkeling spots, lots of tropical fish! one stop to an island full of plastic garbage though, I did not understand why..but good for awareness Be aware that even though it says English tour the tour was in Thai so could not understand anything also this is not a guided tour but more like a taxi dropping you off at wonderful places. No safety instruction, no infos on the fish or nature you see no instructions at all so if you never snorkeled before I suggest you watch some videos beforehand I had to guess about what to do and for how long by looking at what other people…”
Spend 5.5 hours visiting five islands around Koh Lipe by longtail boat. You’ll snorkel soft coral at Jabang, see polished black stones at Hin Ngam, swim from Koh Rawi’s white beach, and meet schools of fish near Koh Adang. English and Thai are listed, but guide communication can vary.
“Sunny and the team were super helpful and responsive to any questions before the trip. The trip itself was excellent - although in our opinion the Jabang stop was very overcrowded with other tourists, many of whom seemed uncomfortable in the water, limbs flailing everywhere! That said, the other snorkeling stops were amazing - the best we've experienced on our trip so far, and the lunchstop on Rawi was absolutely beautiful - white sand, turquoise water, a real island paradise. A thoroughly enjoyable trip and a 'must do' for anyone staying on Lipe who wants to experience this underwater world first hand.”
