About Underwater Odyssey in Pattaya
Underwater Odyssey in Pattaya is a sea excursion for guests who want to explore the underwater world of the Samae San Archipelago without scuba diving.
The program may include snorkeling around Ko Jian, Ko Chon and other locations in the Princess Island area. The exact islands and stops depend on weather, visibility and current access conditions.
The trip combines several snorkeling sessions with speedboat travel, lunch and beach relaxation at Hat Nang Ram.
The small-group format makes the program more compact than large-capacity sea excursions.
Highlights of Underwater Odyssey

Several Snorkeling Stops
The guide selects several locations according to water visibility and safety.
Coral Reefs
Guests can explore tropical reef areas around the Samae San islands.

Snorkeling in the Samae San Archipelago
The Samae San area generally offers clearer water than beaches in central Pattaya, although visibility always depends on weather and sea conditions.
The reefs may be home to clownfish, parrotfish, needlefish, leopard fish and other tropical marine species.
Sea turtles and other larger marine animals may occasionally be seen, but wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.
The guide chooses suitable snorkeling locations according to visibility, waves and the experience of the group.
Anemones Park and Marine Life
Anemones Park is one of the possible highlights of the tour. This underwater area may contain groups of sea anemones with clownfish and other reef inhabitants.
Participants can observe marine life from the surface using a mask, snorkel and fins. No scuba equipment or diving certificate is required.
Guests should avoid touching corals, anemones or marine animals and follow the instructions of the guide.
Professional Underwater Photography
Underwater photography is included in the program, allowing guests to receive photos from the snorkeling locations without bringing a separate underwater camera.
The number and quality of photographs depend on visibility, sea conditions, group activity and the course of the tour.
Participants should follow the photographer’s and instructor’s directions while remaining aware of other swimmers and the surrounding reef.
Is the Tour Suitable for Beginners?
No diving experience or license is required because Underwater Odyssey is a snorkeling tour.
Participants should nevertheless feel comfortable entering the sea and using a mask, snorkel and fins.
