Koh Lipe Tours & Tickets

Every trip worth taking in Tarutao National Marine Park — compared, priced and bookable in a couple of taps.

On Koh Lipe the boat trips are the holiday. The islands of the Adang–Rawi group sit a few minutes away by longtail, and a day on the water — snorkelling reefs, picnicking on empty beaches, climbing to a viewpoint — is what most visitors remember best.

Everything here is booked through GetYourGuide, which means live availability, free cancellation on most options and reserve-now-pay-later on many. Prices are indicative "from" amounts in euros — the operators charge in Thai baht, so the figure moves with the exchange rate. Tap any card for the live price in your own currency.

Pick by the kind of day you want

Half a day on the water

A morning or sunset snorkel, or a short private boat — easy to fit around beach time, and the best choice in the low season.

Koh Lipe: Snorkelling Boat Tour For Low Season Program C

Most of the park’s islands close to visitors in the monsoon months, but Lipe stays open and so do a few sheltered snorkelling routes. This low-season programme is one of the few you can book ahead for those months. Trips still depend on the weather on the day.

  • Designed for the green season (May–October)
  • Five islands, coral and a beach stop
  • Routes chosen for sheltered water

Booking questions

Frequently asked questions

Which Koh Lipe tour is best value?

The half-day snorkel (from around €16) and the Program A longtail trip (from around €18) are outstanding value — the latter is the best-reviewed trip in the park, with more than 600 reviews at 4.8.

Are national park fees included in tour prices?

Usually not. The park entrance fee is normally paid once, when you arrive in the park at Pak Bara or on Lipe, and covers your stay. Some tours to Tarutao or Adang may ask to see the ticket. Each listing says what is included.

Do tours run in the low season?

Some do. From roughly mid-May to mid-October Koh Tarutao, Koh Adang and several other islands are closed to visitors, and seas can be rough. Operators run shorter low-season routes in sheltered water, like the Program C trip, weather permitting.

Where do the trips leave from?

Almost all snorkelling trips leave from Sunrise Beach or Pattaya Beach on Koh Lipe. The meeting point is on each listing — usually the tour desk or the beach in front of it.

Can I cancel if the weather turns?

Most listings offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, and operators normally refund or rebook if they cancel for sea conditions.
