Take A Snorkeling Day Trip In Phuket With La Moet On MV Champagne
Phuket is famous for its nice snorkeling and you can choose between the 36 beaches that have the possibility of snorkeling. Due to this large number of beaches, snorkeling is easy and convenient. One of the main reasons for snorkeling is because of the crystal clear waters that Phuket is adorned with and the colorful fish. This does not imply that all the 36 beaches of Phuket offer the same attractions; each beach is different from the rest.
In this section we have taken the liberty to compile some of the best beaches that you can snorkel from. Most reefs are found just a few meters from the beaches, however the best snorkeling and corals are normally found a few hundred meters out from the beach. To experience the best snorkeling around Phuket we recommended that you jump aboard our fine sailing vessel, MV Champagne, for our Phuket snorkeling tours. We will ensure that you snorkel only the very best spots in Phuket!
Snorkel At Ao Sane Beach
This beach is 200 meters long and is adjacent to the Nai Harn Beach. The beach is populated with huge granite boulders and there are two main snorkeling zones in the vicinity. You can also witness the majestic coral reefs that are clustered in this zone. You will also discover parrot fish, clown fish, and eels in these waters.
Snorkeling Around Ya Nui Beach
This is one of the smallest beaches and has large rocks protruding from the sea along with a lot of coral surrounding it.
500 m out from the beach is the small island “Koh Man” with fantastic snorkeling over huge boulders covererd with small soft corals and colorful fish in all sizes. From time to time snorkeller’s are lucky to the see small turtles that live around this island. It’s not advised to swim/snorkel out to the island since the current can be strong between the island and the beach. The safest way to snorkel around the island is by going there with a boat.
Experience The Fantastic Snorkeling at Kata Noi
This is another great beach for snorkelling in Phuket and also sight-seeing. This beach is filled with tricky spots and you need to be an eloquent swimmer if you want to reach out to the best spot to observe the corals and fauna. Make sure you do not wander into the waters without having a good knowledge of swimming and have a life jacket with you.
Snorkel On Kata Beach Reef
The beach has a reef on both its south and the north end; the most popular reef is the reef at the north end where you will see diver’s walk in from the beach every day to enjoy their dives. It’s an ideal place for both snorkelers and divers since it’s not far out from the beach, walk in, swim for 5 minutes and the reef is just below you. Common to see when snorkeling over the reef are moray eels, the colorful lionfish, batfish, parrotfish and cuttlefish.
Visit The Popular Freedom Beach
This is the beach that gets voted year after year as the prettiest beach in Phuket with soft white sand and clear blue waters. It’s surprisingly quiet and peaceful here with one restaurant where you can order your lunch or a refreshing fruit smoothie.
The best place for snorkeling is at the south end of the beach, below the restaurant; here you find good snorkeling where the coral starts close to the shore. There are plenty of colourful fish including some large specimens.
These are what we consider to be the 5 best beaches for snorkeling in the south of the island and our Phuket snorkeling excursions are available for both join in and private charters.
