The amiable team of Insea Speedboat will pick you up by minivan from the lobby of your hotel and bring you to the private pier in Bang Rak. After a quick COVID-19 screening, get helpful information from your guide and enjoy a light breakfast before heading by speedboat to Ang Thong National Marine Park.
First you will stop at Koh Wao which consists of 3 islands with a shallow, sheltered bay in between. It is the perfect snorkel spot with immaculate waters and an abundant underwater life.
Continue to Mae Koh Island and climb to the viewpoint overlooking the Emerald Lagoon.
Head further to Phaluai Island to enjoy a delicious Thai-style lunch in a restaurant. The island is still inhabited by sea-gypsies who earn a living from fishing.

We took our kids out to see the national ocean park which was very nice however the speedboat journey was ruined by having to listen to extremely loud party style music..no one On the boat showed any enthusiasm to get up and party which the rep was trying her best to achieve.. It's not a 18/30 booze cruise if I had know this was going to be the way we traveled I wouldn't of booked it.. At very least there should be a show of hands at start asking for or against loud music even my teenage kids though it was not a great way to travel Think hard before you book the music is loud and not for us
Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you and your kids enjoyed the beautiful national marine park, but we offer our sincerest apologies for the overly loud music during your speedboat trip. We aim to provide a fun and engaging atmosphere, but we completely understand that a "booze cruise" vibe is not what families book us for. We apologize that this detracted from your experience. Your suggestion to check in with passengers about music preferences is fantastic, and we are sharing this with our operations team to establish better guidelines for on-board music and volume control. We appreciate your helpful feedback and wish you and your family safe travels!
Everything was fine, but there were just too many people. When we got to the snorkelling stop it was like a washing machine. The only other-significant downside was at the lagoon. There was a noisy generator about 20 feet from the beach which ruined a very peaceful spot.
Guides were great! Islands chosen had great views
I liked this tour saw beautiful nature. I found the tour would be much better with not so many people. Just way to crowed in all aspects.
34 of us packed onto a small boat barely any space. I gave up my seat for a family inside so had to sit outside at the front of the boat. They were going way to fast and I was flying off the seat constantly. I felt a big crack in my back and neck. I was visibly hurt so they made space for me inside but still didn't slow down. I dive I've been on so many boats and never experienced this and it wasn't even a rough day. I have been in agony since and have had to go to physio at home with whiplash, left me in pain all holiday. At the end of the day the tour guide (boat 4) then had a rant at all of us because he didn't get the tip he wanted which made everyone really uncomfortable. Very weird experience!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry to hear about what happened during your tour. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and it is very concerning to learn that you felt unsafe and were injured during the trip. This is absolutely not the standard of service we aim to provide. We sincerely apologize for the overcrowding on the boat, the speed of the journey, and the lack of proper care after you were visibly hurt. We are also very disappointed to hear about the guide’s behavior at the end of the tour, which is completely unacceptable and does not reflect our company values. Please note that we do provide accident insurance coverage for all customers joining our tours. In cases of injury, we kindly ask that this is reported immediately to our guide on the day of the trip so we can assist you promptly and take full responsibility where appropriate. Unfortunately, we are unable to process such cases if they are not reported on the same day. At the same time, we have checked internally and, so far, have not received similar reports from other customers on the same trip. However, we take your feedback very seriously and are currently investigating this matter with our team and the crew of Boat 4 to ensure that appropriate actions are taken. We are truly sorry that this experience affected your holiday and caused you ongoing pain. If you are open to it, we would appreciate the opportunity to follow up with you directly. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
Such an amazing tour! Highly worth it and my favorite part of my two weeks in Thailand
Day trip organized well, the boat was not overcrowded and food was good. Pace was fine, not too fast
Great trip which takes in some amazing scenery. Don’t worry about water shoes or dry bags, shoes are not allowed in the boat and there isn’t really a need for a dry bag. Bring walking/hiking shoes for the hikes to the viewing points - some very steep climbs! The crew were great especially Mikey, and they also take a lot of photos for you (if you want them to) which is especially appreciated as a solo traveller.
Awesome program. Very nicely planned. They give enough time, not feels rushed. The lunch is much better than I experienced in similar activities. Also they took pictures of you even under the water during the snorkeling and they sent it to us in WhatsApp for free. I recommend this tour.
Was great to get out on the water! This is a well organised trip from pick-up to drop-off. The driver was there bang on time, coffee/juice and snacks were available at the dock, they also had seasick pills available (just in case). It was glassy calm on the way out to the reserve. There were a few other boats but that's to be expected. Snorkeling was good - not the best we've ever done but loads of fish to see. Lunch on another island was basic, but tasty. The stop at the Green "lake" was really busy. Quite choppy on the way back but the team handled it all with expert ease. Would recommend this for a day out for sure!
