Itinerary
Start the day cruising past the northern coast of Samui en route to the Angthong National Marine Park..
Upon arrival at Koh Wao our team will select the best location for snorkelling to ensure a safe and fun experience. After a briefing the guides will join you in the water to provide assistance and lead the way as you explore. We provide personalized service that makes this suitable for all ages and abilities, from experienced snorkelers to non-swimmers. All snorkel equipment is provided, including fins which make navigating the reef much easier! Lifejackets and life rings are available, our guide can also act as your in-water taxi service!
Relax and soak in the view as the boat cruises along the coastlines of the Marine Park. The limestone cliffs have been shaped into many interesting formations which make for great photo opportunities.
A delicious homemade lunch, prepared by our inhouse chef, is served at a tranquil beach. Afterwards time is taken to rest under the shade or cool off in the water. Included is kayaking led by our guides to explore along the coastline of Angthong’s islands, steering your way under rock overhangs and enjoying a restful stop on one of the many idyllic and deserted beaches. This is suitable for everyone as our guides will take care of you, of course if you prefer you may stay on the beach and soak in the nature.
The Emerald Lagoon is the most famous feature of Angthong National Marine Park, a salt water lagoon surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs and jungle. A 10 minute walk leads to the viewing platform revealing the lagoon and a panoramic view of the archipelago. Once again our guides will accompany you bringing refreshments and informing you about the sights and sounds of the island. They also know the best spots for photos and bird spotting.
As the speedboat departs Angthong National Marine Park you are left with the panoramic spectacle of the islands and memories to last a lifetime.
Return to the 100 Degrees East centre on Koh Samui at around 5.30pm with transport ready to take you home for a well deserved happy hour beverage.

What a great experience! Its definitely worth the price, the small group, the boat, the staff, the food, they time it so you miss the crowds which was one of the main reasons I booked it to begin with. The staff were all local and would go out of their way to make sure everyone on board were looked after. The sites were awesome. Thanks for a fun day out, highly recommend.
I booked both the Angthong Marine Tour and Koh Tao snorkelling tour for myself and my daughter prior to travelling to Thailand. I always like to do boat trips when travelling and prefer small groups so when I came across this company on Tripadvisor and saw the fantastic reviews I contacted them directly. I can attest to all the previous 5 star reviews as being spot on. I can’t really add anything extra. It’s true that communication from booking right up to the day itself is first class, the guides are amazing, the activities well planned and the food is delicious. I highly recommend booking with them if looking for a well organised, fun and safe day out on the water.
Was the best thing about my trip to koh samui, I would highly reccommend to everybody! We went in a group of 4 however it’s great for couples or larger groups aswell, the experience was all day long however you spend the time with super friendly staff while being in a small stress free group!
This was easily one of the highlights of our holiday. The whole day was exceptionally well organised, from the convenient hotel pick-up to our return at the end of the trip. The small group made the experience feel genuinely personal, and the crew were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive throughout. The snorkelling locations around Koh Tao were beautiful, with an incredible variety of marine life, and we always felt safe and well looked after in the water. The boat was comfortable, the equipment was excellent and the food was delicious. It may cost a little more than some of the larger group tours, but the quality of the experience and level of service make it absolutely worth it. A true five-star trip that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
I can see why this company has so many 5 star reviews. From the first contact they were amazing. Everything was easy and the actual tour was probably the best we have been on. Everything ran like a well oiled machine, without any pressure to do this or time limits. The guides and crew couldnt do enough for you and were very knowlegable and just nice people. Will be back and do some Scuba diving with you.
It was such a memorable day. From beginning to end, it was epic. What a wonderful experience to remember forever with my daughter and husband. The guides were so kind and so accommodating. This is a must do if ever in Koh samui!
We had a fanatic day with the team. Their attention to detail was second to none. The company is well organised and safety is at the forefront of their operation. The crew took real care of my 6 year old, in particular in the water whilst snorkeling. They managed the day well so that no activity felt rushed and we avoided the crowds.
Absolutely amazing trip & exceptional customer service - right from booking to being dropped off on the beach outside our hotel at the end of our trip! Jason & his crew were phenomenal - they were so attentive to everyone’s needs, sharing knowledge & you could tell they were doing everything in their power to ensure everyone had the very best experience. We went as a family of 4 (11 & 9) with my 11 year old being very nervous of snorkelling & kayaking but they put him at ease very quickly & he had “the best day ever!” I booked before we arrived and so glad I did as we also wanted to book to go on the Koh Tao trip but it’s fully booked, so my advice is don’t hesitate to book a trip with them - you won’t regret it!
We had an unforgettable day at Angthong marine park. Kids literally loved every activity and we managed to have the full experience in such a beautiful place. A special thank to Cara for supporting us during the booking of this special day and to Jason and the whole team for being perfect in every moment. Grazie di tutto e a presto!
I cannot recommend this highly enough from initially booking before arriving in Koh Samui to the day itself. Very professional, beautiful speed boat and really lovely people. My daughter got sea sick on the boat and then suffered with heat exhaustion, she was very well looked after by all the crew who managed to get her back up on her feet and participating in every activity. Even she says she loved the day, despite not being well twice! The team worked hard to avoid the hordes of other tourists making the same trip. As a result, we had most of the islands to ourselves which was magical. The snorkeling was amazing and every 'family group' on the boat had their own guide who were there to point things out or support you if you were feeling nervous or tired. Much better than the other boat trips we saw where people seemed to be left to get on with things themselves. The kayaking was great fun and we saw an island from a completely different perspective. The steps up to the Emerald Lagoon were steep but manageable once you got going. It was certainly worth it when you got to the top. One of the guides carried water bottles for everyone and another took all the phones so that we all had 2 hands free to hold onto the rails. Lunch was very tasty and was great eating on a quiet beach with the most amazing view. Everything is provided for the day so you don't need to worry about towels, snorkeling equipment, drinks, food, snacks etc. The only thing I would say is take some money with you so that you can tip the crew on the boat, they all work so hard to make it a day to remember. We didn't take any and felt awful at the end as we didn't have anything to tip them with (not than anyone asked)! Overall, fantastic trip, well managed, safe and provides everything you need. The icing on the cake was being dropped off from the speed boat onto our hotel beach. If you're thinking about booking this, do it. It's well worth spending the extra money than the other companies offering the same tour as it is so well run. Thank you all for a fantastic day!
