Lancha do Parque Marinho Nacional Ang Thong de Koh Samui

Great tour, hikes are brutal but worth it. Snorkeling was ok could have been shorter so enough time to kayak as no time if do first hike. Fun staff

For $66 this was an incredible day trip and 110% worth the price. Mikey the tour guide was so funny and very knowledgeable. The best part of the day was hiking up to the view and seeing the beautiful park (it’s really hard but so very worth it!). A highlight of my trip for sure

Very good experience. 3 stops. Lots of fish in the snorkelling area but very busy with lots of people and boats. The hike and the second stop is super tiring but a great view at the top. The crew were lovely and made the trip.

The trip was absolutely worth it! Not only were the guides and boat trip amazing but the beauty of the beaches and snorkeling are unbeatable.

The tour guide and speedboat were excellent. The snorkelling was very average and far too short a time as the main experience is the marine park climb and the same for emerald lagoon. If you want snorkeling to be your main event definitely dont do this trip. Snorkeling was dissapointing as the coral reef is badly bleached and even the tour guide advised this was not the best spot to snorkel. There were very few fish around, Only do this trip if you want to climb Ang Thong National Marine Park to experience the various viewpoints.

The best part of this tour are the hikes, however, be prepared for a very steep precarious climb to get to the lookout in both instances. The first climb is not for those without appropriate fitness and footwear. It is hot and tricky underfoot - you must take water with you for this 20-30min climb up the mountain. Coming down requires patience and much care going back down the steep narrow stairs. A swim at the bottom is a must to cool off and recover. The second hike to the lagoon is much shorter but incredibly precarious and steeper again. At times the steps become ladder rungs, so hang on tightly to avoid falling up to 5m, especially when coming down!! The snorkelling was really poor - really cloudy water with dead coral. All around are boats with loads of tourists drinking and smoking and dive-bombing into the water around those trying to snorkel in the designated area. Lunch was good although they ran out of salads and drinks for those at the end of the queue. Also be prepared for an unpleasant speedboat ride of approximately an hour each way - too noisy to talk with added indecipherable blaring music playing to add to the cacophony. You will also get wet, particularly at the back of the boat from waves and if it rains. Beware if you get seasick too! Make sure you bring a towel, walking shoes, sunscreen, flippers if you require for swimming. Water and soft drinks are provided. Safety standards are also low so make sure you are a confident swimmer - life jackets are provided. Limited information is provided during the tour about the national park so best to do your own research before you go.

This was a great day. The beauty of Ang Thong is unbelievable and we got to see all of the main attractions. The snorkeling was fantastic and the home cooked lunch was delicious Thai food. The crew was fun, though they were consuming Kratom which is very risky especially considering their job of driving a boat with 30 people on it. The boat was also much too crowded. You get packed in like sardines. Also, if you get seasick please avoid this tour. 2 members of our tour vomited during the long journey (45 min - 1 hour) each way. I really enjoyed this day, but if you don’t enjoy being packed and herded along then this trip is probably not for you. Also, please instruct the crew to not consume Kratom. I get this is Thailand, but this is objectively very dangerous and a huge liability.

The staff were amazing. But the islands were full of people and boats, be aware of this (this is low season). There was 28 people on our boat which was WAY too many and felt uncomfortable

Ang Thong National park is a must see destination, this clutter of islands is only located 1hr away from Ko Samui via speed boat, these spectacular lush rock formations / islands are so stunningly beautiful to see in reality. The optional hike to the top was gruelling, you should definitely bring runners and a cold bottle of water, but well worth it for the breathtaking views. The tour company was so lovely, they took photos and videos for us and made sure everyone was having a great time. All up we went to 4 islands - we snorkelled at the first one, by sea only, the snorkelling was well worth it!! The second was where I decided to hike, followed by a delicious lunch and feeding birds and ending with seeing the stunningly beautiful lake. ❤️❤️ I absolutely loved everything about this tour and highly recommend it!!

I cannot speak more highly of this crew, hope I have the right tour but need to call out all the crew for both the 28th and 29th April, particularly Pohnee (? spelling) and Mac. On 28th we did the tour and notably a young guy was suffering heat stroke and Mac cared for him very attentively on return trip. Once we returned to our hotel my daughter realised her opal and gold pendant had been accidentally left on last island. I tried to get our hotel to contact ranger but was late in the day. In a moment of madness I decided to book the tour for just myself again 29th....our last day. I cannot believe the kindness of all the guys on the boat. Thank you to our hotel (Explorar) they all knew of my dilemma.....and they changed the itinerary so the last island was the first stop after snorkelling and reducing any risk of any other tourists finding and taking pendant (sentimental value). Could not believe it when we went to spot where it was lost, initially could not see it, then all of a sudden I spotted a tiny streak of gold in the sand. All the crew from boat were so excited when I slowly lifted chain from sand and there it was! If I could give 20 stars I would. Amazing experience all round, both tours fantastic !
