Pattaya Family Snorkeling Tours

There are many tour companies in Pattaya offering snorkel trips and other water sport activities, but equally there are many that cram customers into a small speed boat with very little shelter from the strong sunlight and without proper medical and toilet facilities.

We suggest that you consider the size and comfort of your chosen sea transport with an emphasis on quality for the overall enjoyment of the experience.

Our professional guides can offer tips and help for novice snorkelers and for those who have never snorkeled or breathed through a plastic tube before; we have some useful guidelines from our PADI snorkeling instructor.

Modern snorkeling gear allows you to peer beneath sea level and appreciate the vibrant beauty of the corals and marine life in the shallows near to the shoreline. Coral reefs generally thrive better in warm water with lots of sunshine.

The Gulf of Thailand has an average water temperature of thirty degrees and thus has many coral island reefs within an hours' boat trip from the port area and day trips for snorkellers are generally available for less than the price of a family meal.

Departing early morning and usually returning late afternoon allows a fun packed day full of fresh air, clear water, and peaceful tranquility.

Sea life in Pattaya and Thailand tends to be mainly hard coral formations such as brain coral, table coral, and the stag horn variety.

Tropical fishes that inhabit these structures are mainly small reef fish such as damsel fish, sergeant major fish, butterfly fish, and surgeon fish. We are also lucky enough to see turtles and dolphins in the area though these tend to be an occasional glimpse rather than regular sightings.

The resort of Pattaya is blessed with a fairly stable weather pattern and snorkeling trips can be enjoyed almost any day of the year. The south west monsoons that arrive around May do not tend to cause too many problems for tour companies with sturdy dive boats and the refreshing sea breeze of the 'winter' months tends to keep them free from rain and high humidity.

So, if you are searching for something a little more relaxing than the normal chaos in Pattaya and a lot of family fun - join us for a public snorkeling trip around the coral islands.
