Nemo Island

Step away from the busy streets of Pattaya and spend a day discovering Nemo Island, a quiet conservation area within the Samae San archipelago. These small islands remain hidden treasures even to many locals—untouched, calm, and alive with color beneath the surface.

The journey begins with a shared van pick-up from your hotel, with a brief stop at the impressive Khao Chi Chan—its giant Buddha image carved into stone by laser a sight worth pausing for. From Samae San pier, a speedboat carries you across the clear water to the first snorkeling site. Here, in only three meters of depth, the world of clownfish opens up. Bright anemones sway in the current, and clusters of “real-life Nemos” appear almost instantly.

The second site lies slightly deeper, around six meters. Coral gardens spread across the seabed, varied in size, shape, and color, and home to fish difficult to find elsewhere in the region. It is a glimpse of marine life that feels both unspoiled and immediate, as if nature had set this stage quietly aside.

After snorkeling, there is time to return to shore, freshen up, and enjoy a relaxed lunch at Krua Samae San, a seaside restaurant where the atmosphere matches the pace of the day.

Each boat is guided by experienced staff who ensure both comfort and safety throughout the trip. ???High-quality underwater photography is included free of charge, along with snorkeling equipment and surfboards.???

With years of experience, the local team makes sure the day stays safe and memorable. There is no need to travel far south for this kind of adventure—the coral reefs of Nemo Island bring the beauty of Thailand’s underwater world right next to Pattaya.
