Koh Lipe 7-islands hopping tour - Part 2

The next stop, was at Monkey Beach, with a few monkeys on the trees.

It is easy to spot monkeys in Malaysia, so those monkeys were just normal to me.




Spot the king.






They feel hot too.






The King?






Then, another snorkeling spot again~






Nudibranch?






Many small fishes~






This spot has the most quantity of sea urchin!






Everywhere~~~






Feels good to be in an "aquarium"






Did this fish appear in Finding Nemo?






Closer~ I think these are Nudibranch....






All over the rock~






If I picked one and eat on the spot.... :P






1 big pile of them!

I was so worried that I might step on them when swimming above....






Ko Rokroy - The last and also my favourite spot too!






Clear like water from the pipe.






Captain Ruben ready for adventure! LOL






This is also one national park's entrance where you can go hiking.






The view from higher ground.






Walking towards the edge.... :)






The cliff.






So blue~~~ ♥






Wanna jump into the water! But, will die.






So nice~~~ really, so nice.






From higher ground again~






I was sitting here for quite awhile~ too comfy~






Then spotted some eerie looking ants >.<






A bit like roaches >.<






I wanna stay here!!!






Really couldn't stop to snap pics~






Happy face, getting ready to look for some fishes~~~






While I was on the shore, Obasan called me and said so many fishes in the water.
I quickly jumped in and saw many many fish~~~






It's a very good feeling to have fish swimming with you~






Big and small~ I love all~






Can you spot some pipefish?






There!






I was so happy!!






It was not the water got murky, it was us that rubbed our feet into the sand to attract the fish~
They're different from Redang, you need bread there; here, just sand is enough :P






Our ride~

Very fast, this is the end of the island hopping trip~






Good times always pass very fast. That made us treasure the good times better.

Have a great week ahead!

Koh Lipe 7-islands hopping tour - Part 1

We booked this island hopping tour through Dang-Dee Service, contact number +6674750401-2.

We picked the 7-islands hopping tour, with all snorkeling gears included plus lunch and water, only THB 500 per person, very reasonable price.





The boat ride to the 1st station, took about 1 hour ++






Then we arrived at Koh Hin Saun area~






But the waves were too big, I didn't even manage to take a swim, was attaching to the boat's ladder, and being beaten by the waves >.<






Ended up got back onto the boat and snapped pics~






Solar power!!






Stone hedge nearby Hin Saun~






These are real big big rocks!






2nd stop, this place finally we could snorkel!






Getting nearer~






YAY~~~ saw other boats~






From blue water..






To green water~~






Some wishes~






some corals~






First time using underwater camera, very noob :P






1 green fish.






Leaving to another place for lunch!






Don't you think it's paradise here?






I'm not really sure was it really the food was awesome or it was because we ate at an awesome island. ^_^






Crystal clear water + blue blue sky~~~






I love the feeling of "ownership" in this island~






Super hot weather~ but water still quite cooling~






Swim like a celebrity!






Twigs like art.






Obasan and ojisan we met~
Can you believe she's 70 years old? But dived and snorkeled even longer than everyone on the same boat!






The only think I dislike, sharp dead corals.
Dropped knee on the sand kind of pain! >.<






Sunny beach + rainbow top. LOL






Please allow me to come back again!






A filed of hermit crabs!
These ain't rocks!
All round shaped thingy are hermit crabs~~






I'm not sure why out of sudden I was so brave to hold it....






Running away from me~






I find this one looks a bit cartoon.. haha






Simply press the shutter and every pic turns out perfect :)






Take a look the underwater pics~~






Can you spot the fish?






Just to show you how clear the water is~~






A boat passed by~






Nice pattern~






WHAT??!! Light bulb?? LOL

The fish need it at night for reading~~






Happy wet face~ :P
Don't even need a towel to dry yourself up~
You just need sun and breeze~






The dead corals which are super sharp!






So cute! A horse/ pony head!






Leaving to another spot~






OMG... this is one of my favourite spots!






The picture tells it all~






That's all for today, part 2 next!

Cheers! For a Saturday!
