We’re there for you

Snorkelling in Phuket is a simple pleasure: gliding through the water on the surface, exploring life below, and letting the sea wrap around you. Warm, clear water, colourful marine life, and no rush. Whether you’re new to snorkelling in Phuket or experienced, we provide a snorkelling briefing before you enter the water, help with equipment, and point out the best areas to go. We’re always nearby in the sea with you, if you need support.

It’s your day, your pace, your discovery. Discover why snorkelling in Phuket with us is one of the best ways to enjoy the sea.

Everyone Can Snorkel

Snorkelling in Phuket is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or experience. Colourful fish, coral gardens, and playful creatures wait just below the surface.

It’s affordable and easy to learn. You can rent gear on the beach, join one of many boat tours, or come with us on La Maret. Our cosy wooden boat offers plenty of space to relax, a large swim platform for easy water entry and experienced staff who are always on hand to help.

We provide all equipment, help you get comfortable, and guide you to the best spots.

No Training Needed

Nearly everyone can snorkel, even if they can’t swim. There’s no training required, and it doesn’t matter how old you are or how fit, if you enjoy the sea, you can snorkel.

La Maret provides life jackets or floating noodles for everyone. Once you have the mask and snorkel on, take a few long, deep breaths to feel comfortable, then glide along the surface and watch the colourful world below. It’s simple, easy, and a wonderful way to enjoy the marine life.

What to Bring

All you need to bring is swimwear, sunglasses, and sunscreen; an extra t-shirt is a good idea to bring as the sun can be strong while snorkelling. We provide food, drinks, snorkelling gear, and support throughout the day.

At La Maret, we organise scheduled tours around Phuket, private tours, and boat charters just for your group, taking you to clear waters, beautiful scenery, and the best snorkelling spots like Coral Island, Ko Man, Racha Yai, Koh Kai, and Koh Maiton Island.

Why La Maret?

We focus on safety, avoid crowded places, and take you to quiet spots where the underwater world feels like it’s yours alone. With us, you get experienced staff, high safety standards, and local knowledge of marine life. It’s worth paying a bit more for a peaceful snorkeling experience in the best spots around Phuket.

Phang Nga Bay Information

Phang Nga Bay has been a national park since the 1980s, known for its unique limestone cliffs that rising majestically from the sea. Formed over millions of years, some reach over 300 meters high, others hide cave systems you can explore by boat or kayak.

Inside, the world goes quiet, opening into lagoons with dramatic stalactites and stalagmites. The bay remains calm year-round, making it perfect for boat tours, cruises, swimming, and creating lasting memories.

Phi Phi Island and Maya Bay are iconic places where the movie “The Beach” was filmed, capturing imaginations with turquoise waters and towering limestone cliffs.

After years of closure to protect its fragile ecosystem, Maya Bay has reopened with visitor limits to preserve its beauty. The white-sand beach remains as stunning as ever, it’s clear why this spot became one of the world’s most famous beaches.

The islands everyone is talking about

Phi Phi Island became a global icon thanks to the movie “The Beach,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

From Hollywood screens to living rooms worldwide, it turned Phi Phi Island tours into a top choice for travellers seeking crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, and dramatic cliffs. Phi Phi has been a dream destination for decades.

Today, visiting Phi Phi comes with rules designed to protect its fragile environment. Visitor numbers are limited, boats cannot anchor directly at Maya Bay, and some areas close seasonally or have restricted hours to allow marine life to recover.

Phi Phi History

Discovered by backpackers in the 1970s, Phi Phi quickly rose to fame. Jacques Cousteau, the legendary French diver, was bringing a lot of attention to Phi Phi, showcasing the islands’ underwater world in homes around the globe and revealing a new world below the surface.

Today, Phi Phi draws thousands of snorkellers every day, eager to explore its coral reefs and colourful marine life.
