We arrive at Koh Tao and find a suitable bay for snorkeling. The exact location depends on the season and weather conditions. We enter either Mango Bay, Hin Wong Bay or Lighthouse Bay where you can use our snorkeling equipment to check out the amazing underwater life.

After snorkeling the clear waters it’s time to head to the shore for a Thai-style lunch. In the restaurant you can enjoy a range of Thai dishes, typically rice and curries, chicken and Pad Thai. Halal food options are available.

We head to Koh Nang Yuan, where you can relax on the beach, climb to the viewpoint and go snorkeling at the Japanese garden. We’ll have enough time to do all three activities. Relax, take pictures and enjoy the beautiful surroundings here!

For lunch you can expect a delicious Thai-style buffet. You’ll have several (halal) choices like a curry, Pad Thai, stir fried, chicken & eggs and a dessert. The food is halal. If you have any specific food allergies, please let us know prior to booking this tour.

The breakfast isn’t too extensive, it’s smart to have a decent breakfast at your hotel or villa prior to the pickup. On the pier you’ll find coffee, tea and water and a small selection of snacks to get your day started.

The best time to visit Koh Tao is after the rainy season and when the waters are calm. This is usually the case between February/March and august, but weather conditions may vary. You’ll find clear waters during the hot season in April and May, but make sure to bring sunscreen as it can be very hot! The speedboat is equipped with a sun cover.

The viewpoint of Koh Nang Yuan is accessible from the beach between the small island in the south. The road up can be challenging to small children and elderly persons. Please make sure to wear sensible footwear and hold on the available tight ropes at all times. The climb up takes about 15 minutes and is totally worth it: the views from the top are stunning!

You can cancel your booking for free up until 24 hours in advance of the tour start date, no questions asked. We’ll refund you the deposit or you can choose to use it as an advance to a different booking or tour.

  1. Ingrid Svensson

    Amazing trip! We were a group of six friends and we all had the best time. The snorkeling was fantastic – I’ve been snorkeling all over the world and Koh Tao is genuinely one of the best spots. The crew were fun and made the day really enjoyable. Highly recommended!

  2. Khalid Al-Mansoori

    Excellent trip from start to finish. Pickup was punctual, the boat was comfortable and well-equipped with life vests and snorkeling gear. The crew communicated clearly in English. Lunch was halal and very good. The view from the Koh Nang Yuan viewpoint is stunning, worth every step of the climb.

  3. Abdul Rahman

    Wonderful experience! The tour was very well organized from start to finish. The snorkeling was superb – excellent visibility and we saw lots of beautiful fish and coral. The halal buffet lunch was delicious with great variety. Koh Nang Yuan is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. Would absolutely recommend!

  4. Oliver Whitfield

    Brilliant day out. Got picked up right on time, boat ride was thrilling, snorkeling was world class and the view from Koh Nang Yuan is one of the best I’ve seen anywhere in Southeast Asia. Food was good too. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.

  5. Sam

    Decent day out but a few things bothered me. The speedboat was extremely loud and no earplugs were provided – my ears were ringing for hours after. The snorkeling was good but felt very rushed, we weren’t given enough time at each spot. Scenery is beautiful though and the crew were friendly enough. Just felt a bit overpriced for what you get.
