Itinerary
Meet the boat crew at Star Travel office in the walking street near Pattaya Beach on Koh Lipe 30 minutes before scheduled departure. Your English speaking guide will give you helpful snorkeling and safety instructions.
Journey to the best snorkeling spots surrounding the tiny island of Koh Lipe in Tarutao National Parak directly on the border with Malaysia, and discover stunning hidden away beaches in “the Maldives of Thailand”.
First experience a snorkeling adventure at Jabang Island which is surrounded by pink soft coral, lavender soft coral and red soft coral with the arrange shade of colors. There are phylum porifera, sea whip, sea anemone, feather star and beautiful fish which live in the coral reef.
Continue to Koh Hin Ngam, a small island located to the southwest of Koh Adang. It is covered by beautiful black polished volcanic stones that have formed by the waves hitting the shores for possibly thousands of years. It is said that if you stack 12 rocks and make a wish at the black pebble beach then you’ll be blessed with good luck.
Make another snorkel stop at Koh Yang on a beautiful hard coral reef in the shallows and big boulders overgrown with fantastic soft corals at depth.
A lunch stop is made at Koh Rawi famous for its white sand beaches.
Then make the journey back to Lipe Island with short stopovers on Koh Adang for a final swim in the underwater paradise with colourful fish.

Traveler reviews
Great experience and day out
Thoroughly enjoyed. Tour guide very friendly. He also took his own photos of the day. Pointed out certain fish for us to look at. Supplied the snorkel and flippers. Provided a lunch for us also which was some meet and rice dish which was delicious and then watermelon and water for afters. Crystal clear seas and saw so much beauty at each spot. The black stone island is a little disappointing. So much rubbish piled on top of it but it was still cool. Thank you very much
Very good circuit, 5 snorkeling, 7 stops
I wanted a tour that included the islands of koh Adang and koh Rawi and only this one matched. I was not disappointed.Very nice tour, lots of snorkeling (5) very nice, all in longtail boat, so max 10 people. I do not put 5 stars because the lunch was average: what they call larb (chopped chicken sautéed with chilli) not bad but very very chilli, fortunately with rice.
Fantastically beautiful island
Fantastically beautiful island and very beautiful beaches with the softest sand. Stayed here for 7 days at the wonderful Tenmoons resort in some cozy wooden cabins. The beach at our hotel is often visited by families with small children as there is shade and the water is shallow.
