Explore Angthong National Marine Park by Big Boat from Koh Samui

We really liked the boat ride, food and canoeing! Unfortunately, the snorkel mask was too big for me, and only isolated fish to see...

Beautiful. Inexpensive and a lovely experience and would highly recommend. Felt very safe at all times even though I was a solo traveller.

Boat trip to Angthong national marine park was a great experience, starting with a pick up at our hotel which took us to the boat..light breakfast was provided, great banana muffins, tea, coffee, water, some fruit. The staff were very friendly and informative, the view from the top of the nature walk was stunning, a tiring semi steep walk but well worth it, the emerald lagoon was beautiful, snorkel was provided, lunch was good. Everything was well organised, unfortunately the driver on the transfer back was very rude and grumpy, he barely acknowledged us and did not even look at us when we thanked him…my only complaint, all else was great and good value, very grateful to visit this special place

The park and the surroundings are of course beautiful. The boat trip is slow, be aware of that, but we enjoyed it. Also the food was delicious! Less we found the pickup. The taxi driver drove very short on his predecessor.

Everything was planned very smooth. From pick Io at hotel to the boat and back. Lunch was plenty and good. We went on the best day in our holiday without any waves. They sell water onboard.

We were excited about this full day outing in Angthong National Marine Park and it started out okay but we were very disappointed with many aspects of the trip. There was confusion with the pickup from our hotel even though they confirmed with me twice the day before, and they had no record of our names on the trip. The driver showed up at our hotel at the time stated but he had a piece of paper with some other people's names that were not there. It took a bunch of calls back and forth to someone in the office to get him to take us and then he had to speed and pass cars on the wrong side of the road to get to the dock on time as we were late. We had the same experience at the dock when we checked in on the boat and no one had any record of our being on the tour. The weather conditions were not good and there were thunderstorms, high waves, and pouring rain throughout the day which put a damper on things. This was not the fault of the operator at all but I felt that they did not consider the safety of the guests by proceeding with the kayaking and water activities despite very high waves and loud thunder claps. At the first stop people were transported from the big boat to a longtail boat, and then onto a moving floating dock made of plastic containers connected together. When we returned the waves were very high and the floating plastic was moving up and down like a roller coaster with waves washing through it as you were trying to walk on it. One woman wiped out and fell down right in front of me and no one from the tour helped her or even noticed. Again the weather and waves were not the operator's fault but there should have been someone nearby to guide people as safely as possible to and from the boat. It was every person for themselves as we all tried to scramble back at the same time and the conditions were not safe. It was very wet and uncomfortable most of the day on the boat because of the pouring buckets of rain coming through the open sides of the boat onto the seating and all over the floor. You didn't really have the option to go to a dryer space though because it was crowded and most of the boat was open to the rain. Staff did try to wipe off the seats and clean up the food when people were left the boat but I didn't understand why they did not roll down the plastic sheeting on the side of the boat in some places to try to protect people from the rain. I think that if there was more consideration to comfort and safety of the guests, some communication about the risks, and extra help to those that needed it I would rate it higher. It is probably a better tour when the weather is better but the overall experience was disappointing and we were glad when it ended. On the positive side the hike and views on our first stop were pretty amazing and the beach and ocean were really pretty areas when it wasn't raining so hard. The hike is quite challenging though so be aware of this as not everyone can make it.

Good value trip. The views from the steep but short climbs are amazing. Pick up from hotel was on time and well organised to take you to ferry terminal. You pay 300 THB per person before boarding (cash only) for National Park access. It’s about 90 mins to first stop and unfortunately it was very stormy seas so most (including me) got sea sick en route .. never happened before! Because of the storms we didn’t stop for snorkelling. We went to beach where we picked up kayaks … it was very windy so although only a short route to the beach for the beautiful look out, the kayaking back to the beach was cancelled and a boat picked us up. The climb to the top was well worth it. Just beautiful and the skies had cleared up then. We then headed on boat and had lunch which was chicken rice and salad. The boat took us to another beautiful beach only 10 mins away where there was another climb and view point. This is 150 THB paid on the path. We didn’t bother with this one and enjoyed the beach and a swim. The journey back was about 1 hour 45… then taxi to hotel. Overall great day which without the storms would have been even better. After

Long, too long boat ride and saw very few fish while snorkeling. Lunch was good. The park was beautiful, but I expected it to be more beautiful and more heavenly

After the arrival with the fairy we walked up to the viewpoint. All the sweat was worth itm in the afternoon we went snorkling and swiming on a beautiful beach. We can recommend it for sure.

Lovely and very nice staff, boat was quite outdated and slow, 1.5h to get to first island.is teas and coffe ,banana's and bun with jam,first island is a beautiful beach wit oprion to hike,we done first 4 levels out of 5 i think,path is made as steps,very fitness challenging in this heat. Beach was amazing not much trash but I seen an old shoe and some fishing ropes on the beach. Then we back on boat lovely very nice lunch,rice,fried /cooked chicken,salad,watermelon and some drinks. Swcond stop was two locations for kayaking/snorkeling GET OFF ON FORST LOCATION EVEN IF YOU DONT DO EITHER OF ACTIVITIES! We get off on sevind location and it was AWFUL! very small beach,nothing to see snorkeling, engine noise from small boats and generator for cafe plus diesel smell from both of them! First location had much bigger beach to relax. That was the worst bit of that trip. Lovely staff but you spending more on the boat then on island's.
