“Wonderful tour...our driver Yansen, communicated the pick up time the night before and was waiting for us outside cruise terminal. He helped us understand Bali and their way of life. The snorkeling spot was charming, friendly and efficient. It is less than a 10 minute boat ride to the first snorkeling spot and we spent an hour there. The water was crystal clear, the reef colorful, and fish plentiful. I could not even count the number of different beautiful fish we saw. The second spot was deeper water and bit choppy but we saw turtles, small sting rays and more fish. After the snorkeling, showers were available and lunch and…”

8.Koh Kood: Snorkeling Speedboat Tour with Lunch and Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 38 reviews · 4 hours · from $41

You’ll ride from Ko Kut District to Ko Rang and Ko Raet for two snorkeling stops, then eat lunch on an island before returning. Thai and English staff provide gear, water, transfers, and underwater photos. Expect a fast, bumpy boat ride and mostly Thai-speaking company.

“Abholung verlief reibungslos und wir sind kurz danach mit dem Boot gestartet. Es waren fast nur Thais an Board und es wurde auf Thai gesprochen. Wenn mein fragender Blick kam, wurde nochmal das wichtigste in Englisch gesagt. Dennoch war die Frau wirklich sehr nett!! Aber die Fahrt zum Schnorchelstop empfand ich recht lang, ich schätze 45 Minuten. Die beiden Spots liegen dann quasi direkt gegenüber voneinander. Danach wurde Pause gemacht auf einer Insel. Das Fleisch vom Mittagessen war bei mir leider nicht ganz durch und hab ich deshalb nur den Reis gegessen. Es gab auch nur das eine Menü. Es gab soweit ich gesehen habe auch keine Toilette an Board.”

You go to different spots to both snorkel and dive and can swim through swarms of different fishes - we even seen turtles! Nice changing facilities, comfortable both and tasty lunch afterwards! Would definitely recommend diving here over in Dubai / Jumeriah! Driver was also amazing - really friendly and flexible. Because of Dubai traffic, pick up and drop off can be long but this can’t be helped. 5 ⭐️ stars, would recommend!”
