Itinerary

We’ll meet at your hotel reception or villa between 07:30 and 08:30, depending on your location. An air-conditioned minivan will bring you to the pier in Bophut.

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

We board the speedboat with sunshade 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.

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!

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 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.

    Sehr gute Tour! Very well organized. The speedboat was fast and modern, snorkeling gear was provided in good condition. The Thai buffet was really tasty with plenty of options. Our guide was great – explained everything clearly and was always smiling. Will definitely recommend to friends.

  2. Priya Sharma

    We booked this for my husband’s birthday and it was perfect. The whole group had an amazing time snorkeling and the view from the top of Koh Nang Yuan was so worth the climb. Staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Best tour we’ve done in Thailand!

  3. Lars Bergstrom

    Really enjoyable trip overall. The snorkeling spots were beautiful and the organisation was smooth. Only minor thing was the boat was quite full so it felt a bit crowded during the snorkeling. But the scenery and water quality more than made up for it. Would still recommend!

  4. Chiara Lombardi

    Questa escursione è stata perfetta in ogni dettaglio! Amazing snorkeling, lovely Thai food and the Koh Nang Yuan viewpoint is just jaw-dropping beautiful. The crew were so friendly and professional. Everything ran perfectly on time. This tour is an absolute must when visiting Koh Samui!

  5. James O’Brien

    One of the best days of our holiday. The pickup from our hotel was right on time and the guide kept us informed the whole way. Snorkeling at Hin Wong Bay was breathtaking – we saw turtles! The viewpoint at Koh Nang Yuan is a must-do, the climb is a bit steep but totally worth it for the views.
