Marine Life You Can See While Snorkeling in Koh Lanta
Turtle
Sea turtles are often seen gliding peacefully over the reefs. Calm and curious, they are a highlight for many snorkelers.
Blacktip Reef Shark
These small reef sharks are shy and harmless to humans. Spotting one swimming gracefully in shallow waters is always exciting.
Moray Eels
Hiding in coral crevices, moray eels peek out with their distinctive open-mouth breathing. They are fascinating but prefer to keep their distance.
Porcupine Fish
Also called pufferfish, these gentle creatures inflate into a ball when threatened. With their big eyes and spiky look, they are a real favorite underwater.
Whale Shark
The gentle giant of the ocean. While rare, lucky snorkelers may spot a whale shark – the world’s largest fish – passing calmly through the Andaman Sea.
Water Temperature Year-Round
27–30°C (80–86°F) all year. A wetsuit is optional, most divers are comfortable in 3mm shorties.
