Private tour to Anthong National Park from sunrise to sunset
Description
Our concept is to optimize our day from sunrise to sunset (all other non-private tours only stay half the day at the park). You will enjoy your private tour in a relaxed and family atmosphere with a European guide speaking French, English and Spanish who will take care of you. Our goal is to avoid the crowds of tourists by leaving before the other tours and returning after. We will show you places located far from the tourist routes: Koh Tae reefs, a private beach, a lake hidden between rock walls (you can reach it by swimming), the Bua Bok cave. We will be in a small group, a minimum of 10 people and a maximum of 12. The food that will be offered to you is homemade. The snorkeling equipment (fins, masks, snorkels, lycras) for observing marine life is of high quality because we are a diving center. Our diving club has existed for over 10 years.

Itinerary
In the morning, we leave at 8 a.m. (before all the other boats) in order to arrive at Ko Wua Ta Lap first (about 1 hour journey). We visit the main viewpoint (Pha Chan Charat), renowned for being the most beautiful viewpoint in all of Thailand, easily reminding us of the viewpoint of Raja Ampat. Ascent of approximately 500 meters in a tranquil atmosphere observing the beauty of the landscape and the Dusky Leaf monkeys. Then we have time to visit the magnificent “Bua Buok Cave”. Then we can cool off in the sea.
We will have lunch on a private beach far from the crowds of beaches designed for tourists. The food is homemade with European standards. On the program is a refreshing lunch on the beach followed by a short nap and a swim.
We climb to a viewpoint to observe the lake (Talay Nai on the island of Koh Mae ko). The ascent to the top of the limestone karst walls takes around 15 minutes. You will be able to contemplate this incredible blue-green colored lake fed by underground underwater tunnels. You can observe the lake from various platforms but not swim in it.
On the way we can stop at Koh Sam Sao for refreshment. Then we set off to discover a hidden cove where we will be the only ones to swim there. On the way we enjoy the magnificent landscape.
Koh Wao (stop approximately 1h30), located at the northern tip of the park for snorkeling. All the other boats will already be back in Phangan so we will have the spots to ourselves! The coral reef inhabited by many different species of fish presents a beautiful diversity of marine life.
After about 1 hour of travel, we stop at our last point of attraction. Koh Tae located opposite Koh Phangan is not at all a place frequented by tourists; As a result, the reef there is magnificent. We can go snorkeling to observe the large corals located all around this island. Before returning, we will enjoy the sunset on the boat and a small aperitif if planned.

This was a really fantastic tour. We got to go to some pretty amazing places. They have it timed really well so that you avoid lots of the crowds. It is a very active tour. The hiking part really makes you sweat. It is not for people with mobility issues. The initial boat ride over to the national park is quite something. Pretty rough travels but beautiful then it’s just a few quick little boat rides to different areas of the park. Yummy breakfast. We got to have an amazing lunch at a private beach. Went to a snorkeling spot there was nobody else at. Saw really great reef there. The tourist is more expensive than other tours in the area. But it was very much worth it being with a small group/only about 10 of us or so, avoiding the crowds, going to places that the big boats aren’t going. Would definitely recommend.!
There are numerous companies that provide boat/snorkeling tours in Koh Samui, however Blue Horizon adds a special touch and is not the typical "mass market" service provider. First Blue Horizon offers diving courses and excursions (so snorkeling is an easy trip for them), Myriam is French and have lived in Thailand for over 20 years, she is very professional and offers unique small groups and/or private excursions. She will take you to areas to avoid the crowds and will show you private and unique areas (which are her favorite spots). I love the private lunch on the remote beach, Myriam makes delicious and heatlhy European lunch (fruits, ham, baguette, salads, pasta, etc). Captain Bobby is fun and professional. I highly recommend Blue Horizon for your boat trips.
Thank you so much Foster for your support in sharing your experience :) I had a beautiful day with you too ;) I send you the video of the day later :)
Amazing tour! Great guide and great captain & crew. We were eight people and always left the nice spots when the big tourist boat arrived. Great snorkeling too
Thanks to you 2 for this amazing day :) Thank you as well for the incredible video of the whale we spotted that day quite close from our boat!
It was a beautiful day. Everything was perfectly planned. The food was super delicious. The team was very caring and took care of everything. Thank you for the lovely memories.
Thank you so much for sharing those beautiful memories ;) Its our reward that everybody on board has a magical day ;)
Really a special tour, if you are looking for privacy and want to see beautiful places, this is the right place for you. Our tour guide Sondrine made our day perfect :-)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience :) Sandrine was very happy that you enjoyed your day tour to visit Anthong National Park and snorkeling with her :) See you again next time
The concept of avoiding the crowds absolutely worked. We were always at the different spots before the big rush and had enough time to watch everything in peace. Miriam, our tour guide and the boat crew have done everything possible to ensure that we guests have a great stay. Would do it again anytime! Thanks again to the whole team!
With pleasure ;) We had such a beautiful day away from the crowd cruising around the National Park of Angthong ;)
A very nice meeting of Myriam and diving instructors who accompanied us, reassured us, initiated us with great professionalism. An initiation in the pool first of all to acquire all the appropriate gestures and behaviors and a sea excursion in a paradisiacal place. The instructor even takes pictures and videos during the dive. Pascal and Tania from France
Merci à vous deux pour ces quelques jours passés ensemble à vous faire découvrir la plongée puis ce magnifique parc national d'Anthong en mode VIP ;)
