Mango Bay, Koh Tao

Mango Bay, also known as Ao Muong Beach, is a secluded paradise bay in Koh Tao with excellent snorkeling opportunities. You can stay there or explore the area with a longtail boat for a day trip.

Explore the beauty of Mango Bay on Koh Tao

Snorkeling from the terrace of the Mango Bay Boutique Resort is definitely a must! You can’t get to Mango Bay beach by scooter or taxi, only through the resort. This small beach is not so easy to reach by land. To enter the resort, you pay 100 Baht. After that, you’ll follow a few steps that lead you to a beautiful terrace on the rocks. From this terrace, you can take a staircase down into the water for some snorkeling.

The Beach at Mango Bay

The beach at Mango Bay is clearly visible from the terrace, and with a bit of swimming skills and average fitness, you can even swim there. Just don’t forget your dry bag to keep your belongings nice and dry! But if you prefer to stay on the terrace, that’s totally fine too. There are sunbeds where you can relax, and you can grab some tasty snacks and drinks.

Snorkeling adventures: Finding the best spots around Koh Tao

With strong winds coming from the west, the sea at Mango Bay can be less calm. Visibility underwater may also be reduced, which can make snorkeling disappointing. It’s a good idea to ask the local boat operator for advice. If the sea is too rough at Mango Bay, snorkeling is often excellent on the other side of Koh Tao. Other options include Tanote Bay or Aow Leuk, both of which are top spots for snorkeling and diving.
