Viking Cave

★★★★★ (22,705)

Viking Cave has a striking bay and a beautiful cave above the water, but the real deal is underwater a few hundred meters to the north of Viking Cave. A few years ago, the Phuket Marine Conservation department put down a beautiful artificial reef to re-establish marine life after the tsunami.

It is now the home of long-finned Batfish, Lionfish, and Leopard Sharks. In the shallow water of the bay there are often baby Blacktip reef sharks.
