Amazing snorkeling, with beautiful sea turtles, black tip reef sharks and lots of colorful fish in all sizes. Very well worth a visit. Full review by KineJW

No chicken left on the menu, should have left then but went ahead with the full rack of pork ribs. No BBQ involved, rather steam cooked. Two side dishes of potato salad and coleslaw not worth menti… Full review by neill s
Hi! Thanks for writing about Shark Bay. I'm wondering if you were snorkeling or diving to see those sharks! My 10 year old can only snorkel right now and I would love to find a way for her to experience what you did. Did you have to swim far off shores or did you go with one of the boat company? Thank you so much!

Hi! We snorkeled. The are where we saw the most sharks was a little far from the beach shore, but close to the huts by the rocky shore, but totally doable with a life jacket. Or do what we did and buy a 10l dry bag and roll it up empty so there is only air in it Incase you need to float a little. A boat company will drop you right in the location and also take you to other sites as well if you choose to pay but we just did it ourselves. Check out the map in my review of Shark Bay.
Hello, Rob K, can you suggest some of the "other" spots you mention at the end of your review? For anyone who reads this, I made a huge trip to Koh Phangan 15 years ago to swim "amazing" coral. It was 90% dead. Same thing in Phillipines (Siqijor), even in the amazing beaches at Tioman and Perentian Islands (Malaysia). You are lucky to see 50% living coral at walk-in snorkel spots these days. I think people reporting "amazing" snorkeling have never seen more than a few hundred fish at a spot, and never had the luck to see thousands of fish teeming around them. Anyway, I'd be interested to know any spots in Thailand that someone can confirm 50% live coral. Thanks!

I think Aow Leuk Bay and Light House Bay on Koh Tao still have 50% of the coral living. I don't know whether you can call those places "walk-in". You could reach them from the shore but it would take too much effort and climbing over rocks. I think you need to hire a boat.
