Easy Air conditioned transfer from hotels, a seamless meet up & boat ride out to the island, and best of all, an incredible experience once you’re there!!

The pics & videos of the beautiful dive were worth it. Could not possibly recommend more!!”

Review of Krabi’s Yawasam and Talu Island snorkeling trip, with coral reefs, Nemo fish, a secret beach, lunch, and practical booking advice.
“We liked the snorkeling trip. We stopped at two islands, one of them was more like a huge rock. We liked it, there were many different fish and corals. Visibility was worse because there was a lot of plankton, but that's nature. We stopped for lunch at the beautiful hidden beach of Ko Poda Nai, there were only 2 boats there👍. We were very satisfied with the trip, it had only one small flaw. We were promised snorkeling footage that the guide documented, so far we haven't got it😏”
