Thailands’s Kayak, Dive and Snorkel Expedition

Sea kayak, snorkel and dive in the stunning south Andaman Sea, Thailand

Using a liveaboard, the Thailand Master, as our ‘base camp’, we kayak, snorkel and dive the South Andaman Sea, east of Phuket Island and west of Krabi province in southern Thailand. The area is renowned for white-sandy beaches, verdant forests and stunning limestone karst towers plunging into turquoise waters. Kayaking allows us to glide over shallow reefs and pull up on picturesque beaches for a swim and a snorkel, followed by a jungle trek to lookouts for amazing views; a perfect way to explore the islands. With tropical temperatures and warm seas, we spend as much time in the water as paddling on it!

Scuba divers will be rewarded with varied corals and abundant sea life including lion fish, wrasse, angelfish, rays, black tip reef shark and turtles. We intend to explore islands and bays not frequented by tourist boats and discover a serene and less visited part of this paradise. After each day’s explorations we return to the liveaboard for delicious meals, very comfortable cabins and relaxation.
