The 5 Best Fishing and Snorkeling Trips in Thailand to Book

1.Koh Samui: Mr.Ung’s Private Fishing/Boat Trip/Snorkeling/BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 61 reviews · 6h 30m Our pick

Spend about six and a half hours on a shaded wooden boat with Mr. Ung’s crew, fishing around Koh Taen and Koh Mudsum, snorkeling when sea conditions allow, and eating a fish BBQ onboard. Hotel pickup, equipment, water, a licensed guide, and accident insurance are included. The boat can carry up to 15 people, though private bookings keep your group together.

“The tour guide picked us up at the hotel early. There were 5 participants on the trip so it wasn"t crowded at all. We had a good couple hours of clear skies to get some fishing in before it started to rain and become windy. It was my first time fishing but I caught three! We had fried rice and fish bbq for lunch. Since it started to rain we voted to forego the snorkeling in favor of more fishing, but eventually we had to return earlier than scheduled. Tour guide operator dropped us back off at the hotel. Overall good experience, despite the weather.”
