Snorkeling trips from Koh Kood head out to the local reefs and islands off the west coast or across to Koh Rang, the main island in the Marine Park.

Local Trips
For the local trips, the speedboats usually visit the small island off the north west coast of Koh Kood – Koh Raet (Rhino Island), which is great for snorkeling. This is combined with the beach opposite, Klong Rahan (Secret Beach) and maybe the lovely beach near Captain Hook, Palm Beach (Kiki). Selected trips may also head up to Koh Maisi Lek and the beach area opposite there (North Beach/Klongtin Beach).
Hours are normally 09.00/09.30 to 13.00/13.30 or 13.00/14.00 to 17.00/18.00 with a light lunch, fruit, water and transfers. Prices and itineraries are standardized amongst the companies, so the resorts will book you on their favourite one – assume 900bt to 1,000bt per person, including transfers and a light lunch (seafood fried rice, fruit, water). Note that there will be a minimum number of people (usually 6) required to make the trip.
Koh Rang
With the trip to Koh Rang, you moor up at a couple of the small islands, Koh Yak Yai and Koh Yak Lek, which lie just offshore from Koh Rang itself. The reefs here are excellent and usually have great visibility due to the sheltered nature of the area.
Once again it’s a 1/2 day and for join trips, you should budget around 1,200bt per person (kids over 10 adult price, 3 to 10 years 1/2 price). It leaves at 09.30 or 10.00, back at 13.30 or 14.00, transfers, lunch, snorkel and mask included. The Koh Rang Marine Park tax at 200bt per person, 100bt for kids, Thais 40bt and 20bt) is normally included. Note again, there will be a minimum number of people (6) required to make the trip.
Private Snorkeling Trips
We can organise private speedboats to visit the areas above – either local to Koh Raet and the beaches on that north west coast or over to Koh Rang.
For a local Koh Kood trip, the guide price is 4,500bt for 2 persons, 5,000bt for 3, 5,500bt for 4, 6,000bt for 5 and 6,500bt for 6, half day, morning or afternoon. Food, transfers, snorkeling and fishing equipment and insurance are all included.
A trip over to Koh Rang, also 1/2 day, starts at around 8,500bt to 9,000bt for 2 persons – it includes the Marine Park tax. Prices will increase as you add more people and also if you want a longer day (guide at 1,000bt extra per hour).
For those much larger groups, we can also set up one of the classic two or three decked wooden boats similar to those in Koh Chang.

The Tail and Tail Blu, Mareblu and Maresol
Koh Kood Resort in Bang Bao plays host to a selection of different sized luxury wooden boats for local snorkeling and fishing trips. Low to the water, these vessels are bedecked with lots of soft cushions and yacht style wood panelling, the food served is a good notch or two up in quality from the usual fare and there are SUPs too – it’s tailor made for the socials!
The Tail and Tail Blu go out three times a day – morning (09.00 to 11.30), afternoon (12.15 to 14.45) and twilight (15.30 to 18.00) for snorkeling, squid fishing and hanging out. Prices are 4,900bt to 5,500bt for 2 to 4 persons. For 5 to 8 persons, add another 800bt per person.
Mareblu and the larger Maresol offer half day trips (morning and afternoon) up to the north west of the island – Koh Raet, Koh Maisi and Klongtin Beach/North Beach. For 1 – 6 persons, a private charter off Koh Kood is from 6,500bt. Prices are guides only, subject to change especially in peak season.
Others
If you do want to ask around about trips, try TJ Boats at Mark House by the bridge in Klong Chao, around 1,200bt per person for Koh Rang (1/2 day including the Marine Park tax) or pop into the fishing village of Klong Mad, where the speedboats park up in the sea inlet between trips – Chonratee, Navigator and Natcha just three are those on show.
You can also snorkel using the dive boats, with them going out either locally at 1,000bt per person, over to Koh Rang at 1,200bt or to the wreck at Koh Chang for 1,500bt. Transfers and lunch are included, park fees where applicable are extra.
Koh Kood Fishing
Fishing trips are another option for some time out on the water. You will be mainly hunting squid or smaller rock fish, not big game but it’s a fun 1/2 day. You also eat your catch, quick BBQ on board, tasty dipping sauces provided.
On a join trip or using a longtail boat, assume around 900bt per person for a half day. A private 1/2 day trip for 2 persons to 4 persons, expect to pay around 4,500bt to 5,500bt.
For recommendations, try the popular restaurant The Fisherman Hut, (Hin Dam, the central area) or Go Fishing Bar (Ao Ngamkho). You can of course also head to the little fishing village at Klong Mad, where the boats are parked up and ask around.
We can organise a trip too (all group sizes), so please do contact us with your requirements – all group sizes. Please note all prices above are subject to change, they are intended as guides only.
Kayaks, SUP and Wake Surfing
Kayaks are for rent all over the island – just check with your resort (free in some cases, but more likely to be 200bt to 300bt for a half day). It’s a great way of exploring the coastline and mangrove-lined klongs (canals).
SUP Point near the night market in Klong Chao Beach has kayaks from 400bt for 2 persons (1 to 2 hours) and SUP fom 500bt, with lessons available too – contact on WhatsApp via their Facebook page.
