Continue to Koh Jabang which is a famous snorkeling spot located between Koh Adang and Rawi Island. It’s surrounded by pink soft coral, lavender soft coral, red soft coral with the arrange shade of colors. Here you can spot beautiful fish which live in the coral reef. All necessary snorkel equipment is provided. As the tide is quite strong, it is required that you can swim and that you follow the instructions from the staff.
The next stop will be at the white sand beaches of Koh Rawi where you will enjoy a delicious Thai lunch and have some time to relax under the refreshing palm shadows.
It takes around 15 minutes to reach the next destination of this tour, Koh Hin Ngam. It is a small island which appears to be black from a distance, but actually only the stones at the beach are colored in black. There is a saying that if someone takes a stone from the island, he/she will have a miserable life.
Make a last snorkel stop at Koh Yang on a beautiful hard coral reef in the shallows and big boulders overgrown with fantastic soft corals at depth.
Before returning back to Pakbara Pier, you will have time to relax and swim at Pattaya Beach on Koh Lipe,the most southerly beach on Thailand’s Andaman coast.
