FAQs
A lunch or dinner is not included in the price. As many customers have different dietary wishes, we suggest having lunch at the beachside restaurant at Koh Nang Yuan. Here you can order a selection of Thai and Western dishes, catering for many dietary requests.
Roundtrip hotel transfers are an optional add-on. If you booked a transfer with us and your hotel or villa is located up a steep hill, our vans won't be able to make the way up. In that case we set a meeting point close by. At a landmark or custom location that is closest to where you are staying.
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!
Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full.

A deposit is required for all private tours if you chose to pay cash on tour option. After you submit your booking, we will send you an email with deposit payment instructions.
