Koh Haa

natureadventure
Getting around: Reached by boat only — day trips depart from Koh Lanta (or Krabi/Koh Phi Phi) specifically for diving and snorkeling at this small island group.
Hours: Boat trips run in daylight hours, typically departing morning for the best visibility and calmest seas.

Koh Haa is a cluster of five small limestone islands off Koh Lanta, known specifically for a submerged cavern (the "Cathedral") and consistently good visibility that make it one of the Krabi/Lanta area's most-booked dive and snorkel day trips. There's no beach infrastructure to speak of — this is purely a boat-trip destination rather than somewhere to stay.

The islands' underwater topography (swim-throughs, a cavern lit by shafts of sunlight) draws both snorkelers and certified divers, and most operators combine a Koh Haa stop with other nearby sites on the same day trip.
