What is this tour like?
A snorkelling place on the dive boat of a Swiss-run Samui dive centre, heading for the Marine Park, Koh Tao or Sail Rock. ฿2,900 per participant with lunch and, from Bophut, Chaweng, Bangrak or Choengmon, a free hotel transfer.
This is not a separate snorkelling excursion but a seat on the boat the centre runs for its divers, so you go where the divers go — the Marine Park, Koh Tao or Sail Rock — and float above the same sites while they are below. It suits mixed groups where one half dives and the other does not.
The operator publishes the price as ฿2,900 per participant, lunch included. Hotel transfer is free from Bophut, Chaweng, Bangrak and Choengmon; other areas of Samui are on request. Booking goes through the centre's contact form.
The centre is a Swiss diving school in Bophut with German-speaking staff; its published phone lines are answered in German, English and Thai. The boat is the centre's speed catamaran, the same vessel used for the dive trips.
What are the highlights?
- A snorkelling place on the dive boat rather than a mass speedboat tour
- Three possible destinations: the Marine Park, Koh Tao or Sail Rock
- Lunch is included in the price
- A Swiss-managed, German-speaking dive centre in Bophut
