Snorking at koh nang yaun possibly the best i have ever done. Boat fast. Probably 6 too many passengers for comfort. About 26 people would be perfect. Need to get a step to get out of boat and a deeper ladder to get out of water into boat. Certainly difficult for older and larger people. Lunch was good. Water to drink on boat was plentiful. No safety instructions at all in boat or for snorkling, but hey we are in Thailand!

We hope to welcome you back soon for another fantastic experience. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team
I nearly gave this to tour only 1 star but the employees worked so hard I increased it to 3. I have they're not many snorkeling tours through the caribbean, and all over the world, and never seen a tour operater who doesn't offer fins to swim with. Very disappointed. If you are expecting snorkle fins, good luck, there were only two pairs on the boat and the crew used them even after I asked. Not Recommended

It means a lot to us that you recognized their effort, even though the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the disappointment regarding the snorkeling fins.

We will review both our equipment availability and how we communicate what is included in the tour, so future guests have clear expectations.

Constructive feedback like yours helps us improve.We hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide a much better experience. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
We spent 5 days snorkeling in Thailand. This trip was BY FAR the worst of the 5. I read fine print to make sure this trip maximized the snorkel time. The fact that I have time to write this review while still on the tour should be a sign. The morning snorkel for 45 minutes was pretty decent. But it was one spot, not 3 as listed in the "what to expect" section. Koh Tao is reportedly one of the best spots in Thailand and we got 1/3 of what we were told. Lunch was fine. Then we went to the small island and the snorkeling was virtually non-existant. There was once a coral bed that has been destroyed. The time we had here was 3x what we had at the one morning stop. Not worth it! BTW the guide just stopped by. He said that the tour company is different than the one listed in my booking. He is listed as Funny Day. What's up with that, Trip Advisor!?

Great and friendly staff, great spots, great food and great boat! I highly recomend this trip! I even saw a small shark outside Koh Nang Yuan!
Trip was amazing, there was a problem with the booking but they upgraded us to a better tour for free. Sure there was a mistake at first, but the company made sure we where happy and we had vip treatment. Food was good.
Amazing activity, super attentive staff and incredible view. It is a must if you go to Koh Samui. The snorkel was amazing and it was super safe. About Koh Nang Yuan, it was also incredible, as it has nothing to do with the other islands. About lunch, the buffet was so good. 10/10
Snorkeling activity was fun. The boat ride was uncomfortable at least 8 people were vomiting and felt sea sick during the ride. The boat accommodated too many people which made the environment cramp and uncomfortable
I was just a little disappointed we did not get onto the actual island of Ko Tao but staff was lovely and food was great.
We’re thrilled you had a good time!
Great itinerary and plenty of snorkeling time. Although it rained before departure, it stopped soon afterward. The waves are big and you can prepare for seasickness medicine
We’re thrilled you had a good time!
The speedboat was very dizzy very quickly, and several passengers fainted. It is strongly recommended to take seasickness medicine in advance. The underwater scenery does not imagine and it is hard to see the beautiful and stunning underwater scenery. However, there are many people in popular sightseeing spots, so I can understand it. It is recommended to climb the mountain when landing on the island, the scenery is beautiful! Must-shoot attractions.
