Snorkeling Experience

Kon-Tiki has been established in southern Thailand for many years. Our team consists of professional diving instructors, divemasters and snorkel guides. From our center in Ao Nang you can visit Phi Phi, Bida Islands, Shark Point and King Cruiser, for diving and snorkeling.

Phi Phi Islands

Almost as famous as its rival, the Similans Islands, the Phi Phi Islands consist of more than 20 snorkel sites suitable for beginners and the experienced. From our snorkel center at Krabi, Ao Nang, you can enjoy one of the most popular snorkel areas in Thailand. The stunning view of the majestic limestone rocks plunging into the clear water is an experience itself.

Here you’ll find shallow reefs, dramatic walls and pinnacles and coral fields with more life than you can imagine. At some of the sites around Phi Phi you have the best chances in southwestern Thailand to spot sharks and turtles. Phi Phi Islands can be done all year around and is both varied and spectacular.

Don’t miss the fantastic snorkeling Phi Phi Islands has to offer.

The Bida Islands

On the most southern tip of the famous Phi Phi Islands, you find the Bida Islands. Many rank these as great as diving the Similans! They are not difficult to describe, but the best way to experience them is definitely through a mask! On this full day dive trip we visit either Hin Bida, Bida Nok or Bida Nai.

At the Bida sites you can find creatures like; parrotfish, butterflyfish, massive schools of snapper and fusiliers, cuttlefish, squid, morays, Golden Trevallies, triggerfish and many more. With a bit of luck you might also see a Blacktip reef shark, turtle, Kingfish, Mackerel or an Eagle ray. Around these sites the topography is also quite varied. You can find sloping reefs, underwater crevices, walls, plateaus and pinnacles.
