Snorkeling Operators


In 1986 the first snorkeling operator in Khao Lak started business: Medsye. Almost 10 years later the Scandinavian Olof started, who owns the Poseidon Bungalows in Lam Kaen. Since nearly 20 years he makes 3 day live aboard tours for backpackers to the Similan Islands.
In 2009 the German Ralf Schneider started to offer tours that included the Surin Islands and Koh Tachai.


Ole G., Copenhagen: Snorkeling at Khao Na Yak near Khao Lak:
On February 11th 2015 we enjoyed a very nice day on a longtail boat, going south from Bang Niang along the coast. We visited 3 nice snorkel areas, 2 of these had coral reefs in very good condition. The guide, Mr. Gaeng from T-Tour, knew where to go, and we saw both a great variety of fish, but also large numbers of these. Lionfish about 30 just to take one specie. We were treated with a nice lunch on a remote beach, and saw 2 monkeys checking for left overs when we left. This was a day filled with adventure, and many nice pictures to remember it by.
[The amazing pictures of Khao Na Yak with the time stamp are from Ole G., taken within 4 hours]
