    Good Snorkeling on Koh Tao is exactly what it sounds like, a reliable spot for a snorkel and a swim. While it’s not going to blow your fins off, we’ve always found a decent collection of small reef fish hanging around the rocks. Look for blennies and gobies tucked into crevices, and you might spot a big-eye trevally cruising by. It’s a good choice if you're looking for an easy dip, especially if you’re newer to snorkeling or just want a relaxed afternoon in the sun.
