Itinerary
Begin your journey at the southwest of Koh Samui where we will pass the picturesque Five Islands. These islands are home to a mysterious and rarely seen phenomenon, the harvesting of bird`s nests.
Our first stop in the Ang Thong Marine Park archipelago is also the most remote and magical spot, exclusive to our tour. Go for a guided sea kayaking tour along the coastline to explore the dramatic cliffs, limestone islands, caves, magical tunnels, as well as a secret lagoon. Alternatively, hop on our dinghy that accompanies the kayaks.
Sail north beyond the Marine Park waters, to Koh Wao, where you will find the best snorkeling sites.
Sailing further north we will reach the Ko Wao island group, which offers some of the best sites to explore the vibrant tropical reef. It's considered one of the top 20 snorkeling sites in Thailand. We're the only non-speedboat vessel to reach this destination. We'll select the optimal site depending on conditions, to ensure you have the best underwater journey possible. After a short safety briefing, our crew will fit you with complete snorkeling gear, and take you on a guided underwater tour, to see some amazing marine life. Non-swimmers and young children are welcome to get into our netted floating raft, which allows you to see the tropical reef from the safety of a raft.
We head back to the marine park and will pass Ko Lao Yu to enjoy the scenery. At this point, we will offer you a delicious buffet lunch while you journey along Ang Thong park`s most interesting limestone islands, which rise from the sea as dramatic rock cliffs and bizarre rock formations.
Koh Thong Thaeng is one of the bigger islands in the Marine Park, and a beauty to behold.
Next, we pass Ko Wa Noi on our way to Ko Mae Ko to see the Blue Lagoon.
As we head south, we will also pass Ko Sam Sao or three sister islands, with its notable natural stone bridge that extends out into the sea, with clean white sandy beaches.
Ko Mae Ko is where you will find the famous "Blue Lagoon", the inspiration for Alex Garland's book and later movie, "The Beach". Also known as the "Emerald Lake", locals call it "Talay Nai", which means "inside sea" and it is widely considered the highlight of the Ang Thong Marine Park. We are the last boat allowed to visit Ko Mae Ko, which means that we do not meet other organized tours.
Here you can decide to climb up to the viewpoint or relax on the secluded beach. Climb up the steep stairs along narrow ravines to reach a panoramic view of the Park's 42 islands. Once we've reached the top, you will venture to the other side to take a closer look at the hidden saltwater lake completely enclosed, which besides its beauty, also acts as a natural nursery for all sorts of marine life.
As we head back to Ko Samui, we will also pass Ko Wua Talap, the Marine Park headquarters.
Cruise past Phaluai Island, one of the few inhabited islands in the Ang Thong Marine Park, home to a small community of "sea gypsy" fishermen, which are the original people that settled in the Samui archipelago. Enjoy the scenic cruise back to Ko Samui, cool down with a few drinks and a banana split on the deck, or take a dip in our jacuzzi. On most days you will embrace wonderful views of the sunset that will remain with you for a lifetime.

We spent excellent day with amazing crew and chef on this boat and snorkeling trip. The crew provided us with great snorkeling equipments, we had fantastic lunch on board and had a lot of fun on the way. We were also lucky enough to see dolphins and a lot of colorful fish.
I found this trip online as I am not fan of speed boats and this operator offered a slower boat to the marine park with time to enjoy the trip. We (2 adults and 2 teenagers) enjoyed the trip with the red dragon so much. Fun activities and excellent staff who does everything to make you feel comfortable. We can just say: go as soon as you can! you will have the best day. Best for active families, lots of time to relax but the trip is the most fun if you take part in the snorkling, kayaking and hiking. All activities are safe and guided by the friendly staff on the boat.
We had an absolutely fantastic full-day boat tour and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The entire crew was outstanding from start to finish—friendly, professional, attentive, and always smiling. They made us feel welcome throughout the day and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. A special mention goes to our captain Two, who was simply incredible with our children. He was patient, kind, and made them feel involved and excited all day long. His warm personality and genuine care made the trip even more memorable for our family. The food was another highlight—absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. It exceeded all of our expectations and was one of the best meals we've had on any tour. Overall, this was a truly unforgettable day and one of the highlights of our holiday. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Koh Samui, especially families. Thank you to the entire crew for such a wonderful experience!
Perfect family day trip to Ang Thong Marine Park. The crew were fantastic and made our group of 15 feel very welcomed and relaxed. Boat was perfect size for us, food was tasty authentic Thai, and kid friendly. We loved the Sea Kayak experience and also the snorkelling. Would recommend to any family groups wanting a private tour. Thanks guys

Two and his crew were so attentive. We had to have a later start and they were so accommodating. From pick up to drop off we were treated like family. The food was delicious and the kids loved the banana splits at the end. My sister was proposed to during the kayak portion on a small beach in torrential rain and the crew helped make the moment unforgettable. We cannot thank you enough for a fantastic trip filled with so many memories

This was a fabulous trip. The Blue Dragon is not a speed boat so it does take the best part of two hours to get to Ang Thong but the payback is that it is a smoother ride and they can take kayaks. Once we arrived we jumped into the kayaks and explored the caves and then kayaked to a small inlet which was magical, photo opportunities galore and not another boat in sight, really terrific experience. We were provided with excellent food and all in all very well looked after. We were a family of six and the Blue Lagoon gave us ample space to relax and enjoy the day, highly recommended.
Thank you Jason for reviewing us following your Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park. Our trips visit the Marine Park's best attraction when no one is around! Exclusive to our tours, Kayaking at the secret lagoon makes for a fabulous kayaking experience. Located at the most remote corner of the park we explore the island by kayaks we carry onboard and follow the action from our tender. We snorkel at islands located 20 minutes' sail away from the park, as visibility at the park is very limited. We have designed our boats and facilities to provide our guests with plenty of room and optional activities while sailing, dining, listening to your playlist, having drinks, playing games, and watching the sunset, so you can enjoy the journey ready to explore the destination and activities. Your feedback means the world to us. Aom
Everything was perfect. Even though it was a full-day tour, it wasn’t tiring at all we enjoyed every part of it. All of the activities are optional, so if you prefer, you can simply stay on the boat, relax, and enjoy the view. The staff were amazing everyone was friendly, helpful, and always smiling. Thank you so much for everything!

This was the best part of our trip to Thailand. We saw so much, with the snorkeling as the highlight of the trip. Easily worth the price for sure. The staff was well organized, friendly and very professional. The food, prepared on board, was delicious and gave a lot of options. If you are looking for a day-long boat trip, you cannot do better than Koh Samui Boat Charters.
Thank you Michael for reviewing us following your Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park. Our tours are unique among Koh Samui’s offerings. We believe all guests should experience luxury sailing, delicious food, fun activities away from large group tours, and friendly interaction from our crew.

We rented the entire boat for our family gathering, which was perfect since we were traveling with an infant and a toddler and needed privacy. The whole experience was incredible. The crew was very helpful with the kids, and the amount of food was three times more than we needed 😅. Our guide, Tatiana, was very informative and experienced. We loved the experience and highly recommend it!
Thank you Chelsie for reviewing us following your Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park. We’re so happy to hear that you and your family had a wonderful experience. With children, our Thai crew are naturally attentive — it’s a genuine endearment that gives parents time to relax and confidence that their little ones are in great hands. Our boats, facilities, and activities are designed to be fun, safe, and comfortable for everyone, whether you’re traveling as a couple, with young children, or even with seniors. For those who may be less confident swimmers or snorkelers, we offer a special option: hop into our inflatable raft and let our team guide you gently over the reef, so no one misses out on the underwater magic. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back aboard someday! Aom
It was a great trip to Ang Marine Park. The park is awesome and snorkeling was amazing. The lunch on board was very tasty. However, the boat is a bit slow and it took 2.5 hrs one way which left little time to enjoy the park. In retrospect, speed boat would have been a better choice.
Thank you Pawel for reviewing us following your Dragon yacht tour to Angthong National Marine Park. Our slogan is to offer Thai hospitality in the European standard of boating, offering comfortable yet fast cruising speeds while providing lots of room and onboard dining, activities, and bathroom facilities, so our guests are at ease while traveling, up and ready to enjoy the destinations. Its take the Blue Dragon 2 hours to get to the park, a bit longer in case we experience waves. Most of our guests enjoy the journey’s refreshing sea breezes, the amazing views, and the activities available onboard. Our tours are carefully timed to avoid the peak hours when most other boats arrive. By leaving later or adjusting our route, we help you enjoy the Marine Park’s most scenic spots with fewer people around — making your experience feel more personal, peaceful, and exclusive. On our tour aboard the Dragon Yachts, we visit the better attractions and offer similar activities such as snorkeling and sea kayaking as the speed boat with more time for the activities as we save about 2.5 hours by dining on board, have our sea kayaks on board and visiting attraction of the park at times that they are not busy as our schedule is specifically designed to avoid the crowds. We thank you again for your recommendation and hope to see you again on another sunny day. Aom
