When traveling to Thailand, many people may go directly to Rock Island, and some friends may not even know about Rock Island.
Although not well-known, the attractions here are not inferior at all.
Let's go and see it together.
KoRok, far away from mainland Thailand and Phuket, a popular tourist destination in Thailand, has always been unknown to tourists and is far less well-known than the Similan Islands.
Therefore, the island retains the most primitive ecological environment and rich underwater landscapes, and is known as "one of the most beautiful snorkeling paradises in Southeast Asia".
There is a saying among experienced travelers: Rock Island has the seawater of Similan Island, the beach of Dacha Island, and the underwater world of Surin Island.
Now that there are so many people in Similan, Dacha Island has been permanently closed, and the underwater snorkeling scenery of Surin Island is superb.
Because when I went to Thailand in December, I experienced Similan, Surin, and Rock Island consecutively, and I made a comparison between these three islands.
In addition to the bad beaches that cannot be proven, regarding the sea water and snorkeling, I can responsibly tell you that you must not miss Rock Island!
What's more, there are several beautiful snorkeling spots in the waters surrounding the rocky islands, such as Enga Island, also known as Tooth Island.
The well-developed KohMook, also known as Pearl Island; Aha Island has rich underwater landscapes and is called Ha Island by the Chinese.
Location: Rock Island is located in Krabi, Thailand, and can be reached from the piers of Phuket, Krabi, and Koh Lanta.
Starting from Phuket, there are many ships, but the distance is far; starting from Krabi and Lanta, the distance is relatively close, but the number of ships is small, the ship type is old, not as big as Phuket, and relatively stable.
How to get to Rock Island: There are always two ways to visit this island.
First, you rent a boat, and second, you sign up for a day trip.
But renting a boat means that you only handle your water transportation, and you still have to rent a boat or car to handle your land transportation.
Therefore, most tourists will choose to sign up for a one-day tour online, including shuttle bus, chartered boat, island fees, sightseeing, food, and multi-day tours.
Suitable for travelers who are free and not afraid of tiredness, signing up for a one-day tour is the best choice for lazy travelers.
Opening hours: Korea Island is officially open from November to April of the following year.
After getting on Lanta, go to a travel agency to find out.
1. When the weather is good, if there are enough people going to sea on ROK Island, even if it is the off-season, the agent will still arrange the itinerary.
2. Thailand’s control over national parks is increasing, and you need to understand the situation after going to the island.
Weather, sea conditions, and quality are all important in any season, but in the off-season, the probability of traveling is even lower.
How to play: Landing on the island - you can go to the island by walking on the waves, and you can wear your own slippers (PS: Similan and Surin cannot bring shoes to the island).
There are a lot of fallen leaves and seaweed on the beach here, but it also shows that there are many trees on the beach, and almost the entire beach has a place to enjoy the shade.
Anyone who has been on an island tour in Thailand knows that shade is our lifeline.
After landing on the island, you can freely move around, swim or snorkel in the safe waters, but you must wear a life jacket at all times, otherwise a safety officer will issue a warning.
This is all for the safety of tourists, please do not take off your life jacket.
Rock Island - Seaside Snorkeling Beach - Tree Swing Before you go snorkeling in the sea, or after snorkeling, please look at the big tree next to you. You will find it made of original dead wood under the tree not far away.
seascape swings of different shapes.
You will never find two swings alike.
Not every island in Thailand has an ocean view swing.
Even if there are, there are many people queuing up to take photos.
On Rock Island, you can swing leisurely, overlooking the jelly-colored sea water, and ask friends or enthusiastic passers-by to help you record this leisurely moment.
As the video proves, few tourists are really comfortable!
The point is that it is still beautiful, whether it is the sea, the beach, the swing, or you.
Fu - Encountering clownfish Rock Island is called the "Hometown of Clownfish" by the locals, so it is more like a real-life version of "Finding Nemo".
As long as you choose the snorkeling spot well, you will see swarms of clownfish swimming inside the anemone, making you feel like you are on the filming scene of the movie "Finding Nemo" every minute.
After landing on Rock Island, you can look for snorkeling spots along the beach. Many snorkeling spots can be experienced on the way to Rock Island by speedboat, such as Nojima, Mujima, Goto, etc.
So an experienced crew is important.
He can accurately judge ocean currents and underwater conditions, and select the most suitable snorkeling spots or different diving areas with fixed snorkeling spots for you at that time.
How many days to play? Most people think that one day is enough for an island at most, but Rock Island is not an ordinary island, or the sea area around Rock Island cannot be explored in one day.
A day trip to Rock Island is suitable for snorkeling enthusiasts, those who are short on travel time, or those who just want to see everything.
The floating potential of Rock Island is to see many clown fish, as well as various magical sea creatures, which is different from the underwater world of Surin Island.
The 2-day tour of Rock Island is suitable for those who want to experience Rock Island in depth and those who like slow-paced travel.
You can spend the night at sea, you can watch the sunset on an overnight cruise, you can also see the long-lost starry sky, and you can see the sunrise and rainbow at sea completely by luck.
You may even have a chance to see dolphins and manta rays passing by.
