Great day out. Well organised. Wear decent shoes if you’re going to do both view points. Both are excellent the second is longer but views are worth it. Kayaking & snorkelling good fun. Sit at the back of the speedboat if you would prefer a smooth ride. Lunch is ok. Options to buy drinks & snacks at the first viewpoint stop, lunch(2nd viewpoint) & kayak stop. Pick up and comms very good.

Very well-organized activity, the team is very attentive. We had a beautiful day and Ang Thong park is magnificent. NB: The view is worth it, but you need good legs.
Bonjour Alissa, Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe recommandation ! 🌟 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l'organisation de la journée, l'attention de notre équipe et la beauté du parc marin d'Ang Thong. Merci aussi pour votre conseil concernant le point de vue, il sera très utile aux futurs voyageurs. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau à Koh Samui ! Cordialement, Tony et l'équipe de Backpacker Samui Travel Koh Samui, Thaïlande
We had a fantastic time on this tour! The snorkeling spot was amazing. The waters were a bit market when first getting out of the boat, which makes sense because we docked with two other boats. Afterwards, near the cliffs the coral and sea life came alive! The hike on the main island was no joke, but so worth it! The monkeys were a sight, as well as the crystal clear water. We ran into a bit of weather when heading to lunch, but the crew handled it so well. We did eat lunch with a couple other tours, so the line to get food was long (just wanted to note that). We chose not to kayak due to it raining some, and just enjoyed the second island. The last stop was the emrald lake, which was cool to see. You can’t get in the water and the hike up the stairs was scary, but worth it! Coming back was rough but nothing too bad. I don’t think the boat was too packed. My companion and I chose to sit at the front, which was awesome because you had views and fresh air. Inside looked more cramped but manageable. The crew was also phenomenal!! Highly suggest booking this to see Ang Thong.

The pickup was clear and on time, the tour team was competent and upbeat, and proactively helpful with helping us take pics and get on and off the boat. The value was good, in terms of the number of different stops and activities. The buffet lunch was delicious and home cooked. The rainy season meant the water wasn’t crystal clear for snorkeling, but we still enjoyed it. Note that the hike to the viewpoint is quite sweaty and strenuous- but worth the views!
Thank you very much for sharing your experience on the Angthong National Marine Park tour. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the day overall and that our team made the trip smooth, punctual, and helpful throughout the journey. It’s great to know you appreciated the variety of stops, activities, and the home-cooked buffet lunch as well. You’re absolutely right about the rainy season conditions affecting water clarity for snorkeling, this can vary depending on the weather, but we’re glad it didn’t take away from your enjoyment of the day. And yes, the viewpoint hike can be a bit of a challenge in the heat, but the panoramic view is usually worth every step! We truly appreciate your helpful tips for future guests, and we hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Koh Samui. Best regards, Tony & the Backpacker Samui Travel Team Koh Samui, Thailand
I really enjoyed this day. We made multiple stops and were well informed at every point about timings, the plan, etc. The staff on board were great and the communication prior to the trip was also great. They make sure you have water at all times and offer snacks throughout the day as well as including a delicious lunch. However, the one place this tour is let down is the amount of people on the boat. There were so many people all crammed in. You had to sit very uncomfortably for up to an hour at a time. Everyone was wet from being in and out of the water and you were literally squished in. (And lots of people stank). This one reason would probably not make me take this tour again.
Thank you so much for your review and for joining our Angthong Marine Park tour. We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the trip, the stops, the food, and the service from our team. Your kind words mean a lot to us. We also truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the boat feeling crowded. We understand this can affect comfort, especially after swimming stops, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience. Your comments are very valuable and will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve the experience. Thank you again for spending the day with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Koh Samui in the future. Best regards, Tony & the Backpacker Samui Travel Team Koh Samui, Thailand

We really appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon! Best regards, Tony & the Backpacker Samui Travel Team Koh Samui, Thailand

Here’s your text with correct spelling, grammar and syntax, while maintaining the original style: --- The tour starts at the port of Chaweng. We are welcomed by a professional and friendly staff. The crossing to the park takes one hour, during which the team leader explains the timing of the day. Activity 1 – 45 min ------------------- We started with a dive in a well-defined area near one of the islets. The water is clear and the fish are numerous and varied. Watch out for sea urchins. The dive area is limited for safety reasons. Activity 2 – 45 min ------------------- We borrowed a two-seater kayak to walk along an island. The walking path is indicated by one of the team members. Activity 3 – 45 min ------------------- We climbed onto a platform to admire a saltwater lagoon. The climb is steep: you have to take your time not to take risks. The hiking trail leads us to a platform at the lagoon. We saw sea urchins and sea needles. Activity 4 – 45 min ------------------- We had lunch in a fishing village. The restaurant is charming and the dishes, simple but good. Activity 5 – 80 min ------------------- On the main island, we climbed to the top of a hill. The view of the park is beautiful. Be careful, the path is not easy and asks to take your time. The sunny day went very well and the team was very caring. The explanations are clear, the team members monitor that no one is in trouble and offer water at will. It is true that the timing is sometimes a little frustrating. That said, the boat must return at a correct time so as not to suffer from too rough a sea.
Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe retour ! ☀️ Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les activités, l’organisation de la journée ainsi que l’attention de notre équipe. Votre satisfaction est notre plus belle récompense. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau à Koh Samui ! 🌴 Best regards, Tony & Team Backpacker Samui Travel Koh Samui, Thailand
The crew were very friendly and helpful, however some of the life jackets had seen better days, and the choice of refreshments were limited only water or sugar and additive laden kids tip top type drink. The food served for lunch was delicious and plentiful. The last stop was a little rushed, only 1.5 hours available. I also felt that too many people had been booked onto the tour, we were like sardines at the back of the boat. The crew should have asked for seat rotation to make it fair. It’s also a shame that all of the floating jetties were in disrepair, which I know isn’t the tour company’s fault.
Thank you very much for your review and for sharing your honest feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the delicious lunch and found our crew friendly and helpful. We also appreciate your comments regarding the life jackets, seating comfort, refreshments, and timing. These are valuable points and we will use them to improve our service. Best regards, Tony & Team Backpacker Samui Travel Koh Samui, Thailand
