Description
Escape the crowds on a fully private speedboat to "Nemo Island" — the local nickname for the clownfish reefs around Samae San, about 45 km south of central Pattaya. This Royal Thai Navy–protected marine zone keeps the coral healthy and the water clear at just 3–6 m deep, so you float easily above vibrant reefs and meet the resident clownfish. Your private boat, guide and gear are yours alone — snorkel at your own pace, no waiting on a big group. Great for couples, families and non-swimmers, with one-on-one floating support and free underwater and drone photos to take home.

A: No advanced swimming skills are required. Our expert guides provide life jackets and will personally float with you using a safety board, ensuring you safely see the clownfish and get perfect underwater photos.
