To begin, have a look at Number 1 on the map, which is the crossroads for Sai Daeng Beach. It would be helpful if you pulled up another tab with this area of Google maps of the island to better put into perspective where/how far everything is. You will find the best snorkeling in Koh Tao along this little strip of land! The map I have made up is of the southeast section of Koh Tao. For hotels / private rooms, I can recommend Aiya Resort, Good Place Hotel, Life Koh Tao Resort, or Blue Wave House. Looking for a good hostel? I have scoured Agoda top to bottom for the best combination of price / rating, and found that Koh Tao Central Hostel, Gecko Republic Jungle Hostel, Baan Chalok Hostel, or Bed & Ink Hostel. The day I snorkeled was a relatively calm day during low season with no strong current – however, conditions could easily change at any time, so do watch the weather and only attempt this trek if you are a strong and confident swimmer! Nearly all of it is 3 meters deep or more, with one long section dropping off to about 10 meters. Although there is an abundance of group snorkeling tours available in Koh Tao along the main road and adjacent walking streets near the pier, there is another option for those who are more adventure-minded, hate the crowds, and are just plain cheap! For Koh Tao snorkeling, to explore what is in my opinion the most beautiful underwater views will cost you nothing but a fair bit of exercise (or a simple daily motorbike rental).ĭisclaimer: This trip is not for weak swimmers! The entire trip in the water, one way, is about 45 minutes.
