First stop is Koh Wai where you can snorkel for 45 minutes. You'll get to snorkel on top of large coral areas, and you'll see reef fish, anemones, and if you're lucky you might catch a glimpse of an eel.

But watch out...

... unfortunately, I scratched my feet on some black spiky sea urchins, so be careful. It stings like h*** if you scratch or step on them!

Then we moved on to Ko Rang!

Ko Rang was alright, but the visibility wasn't as good as Koh Wai.

I didn't see one fish!

So I didn't enjoy the snorkeling there.

Well, I buried my disappointment in excellent buffet lunch at the boat; Thai sea food and barbeque.

Then we stopped by the tour's highlight: Ko Mak island -- a tiny version of Phi Phi Islands with its crystal clear water and white powder sand.

We only had 45 minutes on this beautiful island so I strolled along the beach, smelled the air, swam and took pictures!

On the way back to Ko Chang Island, the boat stopped by an island filled with hungry and screaming monkeys. One of the staff threw bananas to them and they were all fighting for the food. The fight got pretty ugly, and the boat just moved on.

So, here's my verdict:

All in all, the tour was OK, but it was not the best. I preferred snorkeling on Ko Phi Phi.

And I usually don't like scheduled tours because of the time squeeze, too many people and... you know the deal.

So, if you're in a hurry maybe you should try the tour. And if not, rent a long-tail boat on Ko Chang island!

When is the best time to snorkel on Ko Chang Island?

The best time is between October and May.

How to book with Thai Fun Cruise: Most travel agents in Koh Chang offer the Thai Fun Cruise snorkeling trip. I booked my trip at a travel agent near Chai Chet beach. This is also where I booked zipline adventure and tree top adventure.
