Coto Island is known as the hidden paradise for islands hopping to experience lots of untouched beaches, amazing natural beauty, and beautiful coral reefs in Northern Vietnam.
This Coral reef diving and snorkeling in Coto Island is everything you need to know to plan a snorkeling trip to Coto Island.
Coto Island isn’t a big tourist hub like Halong Bay with Western tourists. Most of the tourists here are Vietnamese. They travel a lot during summertime from October to December
I don’t say it is one of the best places to snorkel and scuba diving in Vietnam, just for North Vietnam. There is no better place to see coral reefs and underwater marine life than Coto island
What can you see when snorkeling and scuba diving on Coto island
You can see colorful coral reefs and aquatic species like prawns, fish.
The good thing is that the snorkeling and scuba diving spot is far away from the shore so the seawater is clean. Those scuba diving locations are Vung Tron, Hon Chim, Hon Ong Tich in Thanh Lan island.
