Snorkelling Trips in Pattaya

A different way to enjoy the reef

Snorkelling is an option for guests who want to enjoy the water without scuba equipment. Swim above the reef and spend the surface intervals relaxing aboard the boat.

Sites and water activities depend on conditions. Follow the crew’s instructions and tell us about your swimming ability before joining.

Arrange your snorkelling day

The current website price is THB 1,600 per person. Use the contact form or chat buttons to arrange snorkelling and ask about equipment, transfers and the day’s itinerary.

The compact diving form is for scuba bookings and uses a diving deposit. For a snorkelling-only trip, contact us below.

Plan your snorkelling trip

Send your preferred date, party size and pickup location through the contact form. Tell us if anyone in your group wants to scuba dive so we can explain the separate options.

Questions about this experience

Snorkelling lets you explore without a scuba qualification

A Pattaya snorkelling trip is a surface activity rather than a scuba dive. A mask gives you a view below the water, while the snorkel lets you observe from the surface when used as instructed. It can suit non-diving partners or visitors who want an island sea day without taking a scuba course.

Open-water comfort still matters. Tell us about your swimming confidence and whether a guest needs extra guidance. Follow the briefing about the snorkelling area, flotation and boat arrangements. Children and guests who are not confident swimmers should be discussed with the team before booking so the activity can be assessed appropriately.

The chosen site depends on the itinerary and conditions. Visibility, sea state and marine-life sightings are variable. A pleasant site on a previous day may not be the right location on your date, so the team makes the operational decision rather than guaranteeing one photographed reef.

Arrange a mixed diving and snorkelling group

It is possible for a holiday group to have different interests, but tell us what each guest wants to do. Scuba divers need the appropriate introductory programme or certification; snorkellers follow their own activity arrangements. The two experiences should not be confused when choosing a form option or calculating deposits.

The snorkelling trip price is THB 1,600 per person. Contact the team for the snorkelling booking arrangements rather than submit it as a certified diving deposit. Share your preferred day, group size, pickup hotel and any relevant age or swimming-confidence information.

Bring swimwear, sun protection and personal essentials suitable for a boat day. Ask about current inclusions and pickup arrangements when booking. A Dragon House apartment can be added to a longer holiday, but staying elsewhere does not prevent you arranging the snorkelling trip.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I go snorkelling near Pattaya?

Island reefs around Koh Larn, Koh Sak and Koh Krok are options in the Pattaya Near Islands area. Copperband chooses the actual snorkelling location for the trip, sea conditions and participants. Ask about the planned route before booking; a particular island is not guaranteed.

How much is a Pattaya snorkelling trip?

Copperband’s advertised snorkelling trip is THB 1,600 per person. Contact the team to confirm the date, pickup, equipment and current inclusions. Book a snorkelling-only trip directly with the team rather than selecting the scuba deposit form.

What is the difference between snorkelling and scuba diving?

Snorkelling lets you observe the reef from the surface using a mask and snorkel. Scuba diving uses a cylinder and regulator to breathe underwater, with training or instructor supervision appropriate to the programme. Non-diving partners can ask about joining the same boat day, subject to availability.
