We arrive at Bophut pier where you can enjoy a light breakfast snack and coffee, tea or water.

We board the speedboat with sun shade and head to Koh Tao. This should take around 1 hour, depending on the weather conditions. Enjoy the views of the Gulf of Thailand and Koh Samui while we pass Koh Phangan on our way north.

Arrival at Koh Tao, where we find a suitable bay for snorkeling. The exact location is dependant 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!

At 15:00 it’s time to leave beautiful Koh Tao & Nang Yuan. Our speedboat takes us back to Koh Samui in about 90 minutes. On the way back you can relax on the boat, see flying fish or sunbathe in the front of the boat. Water is provided on the way back.

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 sun screen 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. Arnold van Zevenaar

    Better snorkeling than on Ko Samui. The pickup was late but apparently it was busy on the roads. The rest of the day was flawless but it was quite busy at Ko Nang yuan, hence 4 stars. Worth it for a nice day out though

  2. Mary Ann and Raymond

    We liked the trip. A lot of snorkeling and the view from the hill is amazing. 4 stars because it was very busy but I guess thats a covid consequence.

  3. Herman van Zand

    Good, lovely trip to the island of Koh Tao. It’s a bit far away but we had great weather and just enjoyed the sun in the front of the boat. The kids loved the food and snorkeling. We mostly relaxed on the beaches. Enjoyable trip that I would do again.

  4. Robert McAllister
    Nice trip with good snorkeling

    Nice trip, good snorkeling (wayyy better than on Koh Samui) but the boat trip was a bit long and the water choppy. I understand they can’t control the weather but this is something to keep in mind when booking a speedboat tour. Overall well organized, 1 star less because of the trip to the islands.

  5. Julian

    We love snorkeling and it was so much better on Koh Tao than on Koh Samui. I am not sure which bays we went to but the highlight was definitely the small island next to Tao and the small sharks we saw while snorkeling there. For the best views I suggest climbing up to the viewpoint.
