Thailand snorkeling tours are more than just coral reefs and tropical fish. In the Andaman Sea, you’ll find sea creatures so strange, they seem like something out of a sci-fi movie. No need for a spaceship — just a snorkel and some curiosity.
Join eco friendly island tours and island hopping adventures to meet some of the weirdest (and most wonderful) marine life in Thailand.
