Full-day Cruise Of Koh Nang Yuan And Koh Tao From Koh Samui

Excellent day out. The islands are so beautiful. The snorkeling spots chosen were really good with coral and lots of fish. The staff were amazing. They took care of everyone and made sure everyone was safe getting on and off the boat. They supplied water all day… however I felt they could have supplied sodas and snacks on the boat as there were quite a few kids and families and the boat ride to and from the islands was long. I do highly recommend this trip and this company. Ros from Australia

Awful experience. Wacked my head on the boat, which made me bite my lip, so much blood, I was in so much pain but they didnt stop the boat, they were driving so fast. Wouldn't even slow down when my daughter asked them to. No health and safety, they were just laughing.

Absolutely shocking men who organised the trip. They drove the boat so fast in the choppy water and I hurt my head on the boat but they didn't care, didn't slow down and gave no help.

Well organised trip from pick up to dropping back off at hotel I did read some reviews about waiting to long at before boarding the speed boat I personally thought it wasn’t an over long wait The food was better than expected again after reading reviews I thought the last two snorkeling stops on the boat was excellent with regards the snorkeling and staff excellent Overall I would recommend the trip

The trip is long with a transfer time of about 75 min to Koh Tao and almost 90 min return with 4 stops. The first 2 stops are supposed to be snorkeling areas, but not much can be seen, no sharks, no turtles... The 3rd stop for lunch with a rather poor lunch. We did two other trips and the food was much better. The 4th stop in Nang Guyan Island is just a joke. Collapsed area with tourists. If it wasn't because of the friendly guides, I would give it a 0, if I could. It is a trip that would need to be done as a 2 or 3 day trip, so you can enjoy the beaches and the peace around it, but to do it in one day it's just not worth the money.

An amazing day island hopping, the snorkeling locations were beautiful! The staff and the boat weren't as professional as some of the other tours but really friendly, even helping those who weren't as confident to swim / snorkel. Would recommend to others

Boot trip was very good,the islands were lovely.We stopped afew times to go snorkeling which was very good.Staff on boat very helpful & friendly.

Pickup went smoothly, drop-off not so much. Ended up riding in the back of a pickup truck. Last minute 'change' made us go to Koh Nang Yuan in the morning, so we missed the low ride. The way to the viewpoint was too crowded so we didn't have time yo go all the way up before having to return to the boat. Around Koh Tao checked out two snorkeling spots, the first one murky waters, the second one much better. Oh and the highlight of the trip: lunch on Koh Tao gave both me and my partner food poisoning. I now understand why the tour staff was eating different food at another table :))

Nothing to remember. Some of the passengers were freaking out because of the waves and forced the captain to turn around. Neither the Tour Company or Viator offered a refund or even a voucher. Do not book this tour or use Viator, no courtesy to the customer. Horrible experience.

We had a great trip & spent nice amount of time at each stop, the sea was choppy on the way (which obviously can’t be helped) but absolutely fine on the way back.

- This tour was such a rip off & the textbook tourist trap! -Firstly it's all false advertising, hidden costs & more. -When we got to the pier the woman that met us ( i can't remember her name i think it was shiva was so rude) very unlike the Thai people we know or met. -You are forced to pay extra "'NATIONAL PARK FEES" ( Bhat cash ONLY) because this tour does not include it. Even though they make it sound on the receipt that it is an optional fee if you want to have access to a certain national Park, but you are FORCED to pay it in Thai Bhat cash if you wish to proceed with the tour . - No clear instructions on the spots. - The say you will be given a "light breakfast" which is basically cookies and instant coffee. -No refreshments at all or snacks as advertised. The only thing given to us was bottled water! Even at the so called lunch. -Lunch was very basic. Just Green chicken curry & rice with water as a drink. - The staff on the boat were running around like headless chickens but were very courteous and i will give them five stars for making sure we had life vests & water. - By children they strictly go by height not age! Any child over 120 CM is considered an adult and i had to pay more in Bhat cash only for my under 12 kids who were above 120 cm! Total Rip off! Never mentioned extra fees - You are packed like sardines on a speed boat for almost 3 hrs. 1.5 HR going to the island & 1.5 hrs on the way back. -The only reason i will give this tour one star is because i can't give them a zero.

It was a fantastic day out & the snorkeling was A1,the staff were polite, well mannered & very professional 😀 👍

We left the port pretty late and because the viewpoint took longer than expected, we only got the chance to see 3 spots out of the 6. They told us that the waves are too strong but the water was pretty calm. Also the tour guide was a bit rude to one of the passenger when she asked him if we're going to Mango Bay.

We had the best day out on this trip. Ended up in the front of the boat with a few others and we had a ball. Lots of sunshine, waves and laughs. The team on board were amazing - friendly, funny and helpful. The snorkelling was incredible. Such beautiful, clear waters. The fish and corals were amazing. The islands we visited - gorgeous and welcoming. Our favourite was Koh Nang Yuan. The climb up the hill at was hard going in hot weather but worth the view at the top. If you can be near the front of the climb, you can get your pictures quickly and avoid queues. It also means you can go back down at your leisure and get a drink from the bar. Some of our travel companions went for a snorkel at Koh Nang Yuan and they said it was brilliant there too. Oh - I’ve got to mention the incredible beach here too. The WHITEST sand and the bluest sea… my personal idea of heaven. The lunch at Koh Tan was great. Nice place and plenty of time to rest and refresh. The waterfall at Koh Phangan was amazing. A nice cooler to round off the trip. All in all - we LOVED this trip. One tip for those travelling in the front of the boat - bring plenty of high SPF sunscreen, preferably waterproof. You will need it.

Do NOT go on this tour. Like other reviews on here our tour guide forced us to get on the speed boat to travel for 1.5 hours through a tropical storm from Ko Tao to Ko Samui. It was beyond dangerous. The boat came close to capsizing multiple times in high seas. The driver powered through major swells making the boat airborne and then slamming into the sides of waves. This is not how you travel in high seas. There were no other boats in sight. Everyone on the boat was drenched head to toe and either crying, vomiting or praying. Life vests were not handed out (despite being handed out for earlier trips). Children were seated at the rear of the boat and came close to falling out the back on several occasions. I still cannot believe we went through that ocean. These providers are total cowboys. Other issues throughout the day: - No toilet paper on board the boat. Passengers had to work together to find and share tissues. You would think there would be toilet paper for a boat of 20 people at sea for over 3 hours. - The captain was smoking on the boat while the engine was on idle at the snorkelling location. - Lunch was very basic at a beach shack with multiple stray cats which jumped on the tables and tried to eat the food. There was no breakfast included just instant coffee. - Tour locations not as advertised. We went to one snorkelling location and one beach. We visited only one location from the itinerary online. - No tour guide information at all. It’s basically a low rent water taxi service. The tour operator had the audacity to pass around a tip jar at the end of the tour. I couldn’t believe it. Do NOT go on this tour.

Great day out on the water. Snorkeling was awesome and the locations we visited were idyllic. Be prepared for 1.5 hour transfer to the islands.

Would not travel with this provider ever again! We were told that there was a tropical storm and so we didn't even complete over half of the activities listed. The waves were very also dangerous and very high and they were continuously tipping the boat dangerously close to capsizing. Half way through our return journey from Koh Tao the engine on the speedboat broke and it took the crew an hour and a half to get it fixed while we were inside of the tropical storm. Due to this many people in the speedboat were crying and in a lot of distress. As we were traveling in a group, we asked the staff if they could drop us at the Koh Tao when the engine eventually started working, which was 5 mins away and we told them we would get the ferry in the morning, however they refused to let us off the boat and drove off without asking us. We travelled dangerously an hour and a half through a tropical storm to get back to Koh Samui. Terrifying experience with a terrible provider!

We had a lot of fun. It was a long ride by boat but, the captain made us feel safe even with a really bumpy ride do to the bad weather. The crew were very professional and friendly. The best part was the last island. Beautiful place to swim and relax. The lunch was really good and excellent services at the restaurant too.

Great experience - the staff was wonderful and it was a beautiful trip! Very child-friendlly - we went with our 3 children and the staff was wonderful with them.

A great tour to wonderflul beaches and places! Perfect organisation and first class speed boat! Go and visit secret places around Koh Samui!

Very good tour. All instructions were very well communicated. All safety precautions were taken. Our operator Lucy was a very friendly person.

INDEPENDENCE DAY We celebrated a 50th birthday aboard the luxury Sailing yacht Independence had such a brilliant time. From start to finish, the captain and Hostess, Luca Foschi and Nok was attentive, witty and made us all feel totally relaxed and comfortable. We were greeted with a delicious champagne breakfast, before setting sail to the Island of koh Phangan. Luca made us feel very welcome aboard this amazing and beautiful sailing yatch and even let us take control of the steering to learn!! Seafood lunch and sunset Canapes it was just fantastic. Thank you for making our day so special.

This is a very beautiful island, you can swim, you can snorkel fish, you can bask in the sun, you can walk along the seaside trails, you can go hiking! It is a very memorable journey! And the team leader is very responsible and very friendly, it is recommended that you can pay a little tip!

This trip is very convenient. You can visit Turtle Island and Nanyuan Island snorkeling equipment at one time. We bring our own but they also provide fellow friends who are very afraid of seasickness but the speedboat will not have this doubt. The tour guide is also very funny and interesting!

Nanyuan Island is very beautiful, it is recommended to climb up the mountain, which can overlook the entire island but is a bit tired and requires some physical strength. recommend

Great trip, Very beautiful. This tour is not expensive. Service is ok There are two beautiful dive sites.

All very nice and organized very well from the pickup at the hotel upon arrival at the port, to the whole day itself. The places are really beautiful and the sea is top, the speedboat is a nice experience to try. If I have to strike a negative note is the time left in Koh Nangyuan (about 1 hour and a half) which in my opinion is the most beautiful place of all, because to go up to the viewpoint it takes a walk of about 20/25 minutes, plus the time in line waiting for people to take pictures and then the time to get off and in the end you have very little time and you can not see everything else (there is another bay after a very nice piece of walk that I would have liked to see but we were waiting to return!). I recommend going straight to the view point and then see everything else if there is time. All in all it was a top day! Thanks to all the staff

The description doesn't match. The group was about 50 people, while we had deliberately chosen a tour with a smaller number of participants. And the number of stops is also wrong. We snorkeled in two places and then lunch on Koh Tao. Then a long stop on Koh Nang Yuan. And then back. Back on Koh Samui around 4 pm. Everything was well arranged on the boat and transport from the hotel.

The tour itself was well organized and well looked after by the staff. However, the transfer offered was poorly organised. We were offered 1.5 hours before the start but without any information not picked up. Also, the guide was not available. Only after a phone call to the office and with an hour delay we were picked up by a taxi (with too few seats!). This also made the promised breakfast obsolete. The return transport then worked perfectly again.

Reception very chaotic and clear what breakfast was supposed to represent to ashes nothing at all. Speedboat far too small to number of people and the boat smelled incredibly of diesel .staff quite young and not inexperienced to get on the boat and shaft not easy for the older fellow man. Beautiful islands Conclusion:Paid way too expensive compared to what was delivered

L'excursion était très bien, mais le contenu des choses inclues n'est pas correct. Il était annoncé un guide francophone, des boissons gazeuses et des collations, il n'y a rien eu de tout ça. C'est pas bien grave mais le descriptif est mensongé.

Man sieht einiges, jedoch werden Freunde des Schnorchelns nicht viele Fische zu sehen bekommen. Überwiegend werden Stops zum schwimmen angeboten.

The speedboat trip lasts approximately an hour and a half. and it is quite comfortable. The seabed and the impressive colorful fish. The weak food.

I took a big boat from Koh Samui on an English guided tour of VELTRA. We were the only ones in Japan, but there was no language problem. After disembarking from the shuttle, pay an entry fee of B250 at the ticket office to get your boat ticket, pick up your snorkeling set at the left counter, and have the group tape wrapped around your wrist. To the left we got mineral water, bread, coffee and fruit, and ate at the table before boarding. 1 hour 30 minutes via Koh Phangan. We switched to a small boat in Koh Tao Island in groups and snorkeled. Our guide led us to a place where we could see fish, so we could see a variety of fish. No turtles were seen. After finishing, we landed at Nan Yuan Beach for lunch. The Thai buffet was reasonably good. There is also a shop, drinks and snacks. After eating, we had free time for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. It was a good view after climbing a steep slope to the observation deck with its distinctive rocky features. It's worth a visit because it takes about 30 minutes to get there and back. The beach is divided into two sides by a sandbar, and on the right side, in the so-called Japanese Garden, there was a snorkeling school. There are a few waves on the left. The water on both sides is beautiful, but it's not fine sand, it's coral sand, so it hurts with bare feet. It took 2 hours and 20 minutes to get on and off Koh Tao and Koh Phangan as it takes time to get on and off at the meeting time. After getting off the train, each group was shuttled to the hotel and returned around 6 p.m.

Der Großteil der besuchten Buchten war so nicht beschrieben. Die beschriebenen Buchten wurden nicht angefahren. Einzig die Privatinsel Koh Nang Yuan wurde angefahren und das zum Schluss und nicht zum Anfang wie beschrieben, sodass man gar keine Kraft mehr hatte, den View-Point hinaufzulaufen. Am Anfang wurde ein Schnorchelspot in Koh Ma (Koh Pa-ngan) angefahren der überhaupt nicht auf dem Programm stand. Prüfen konnte ich das mit meinen Handy und GPS. Insea Speedboot über Viator werde ich auf keinen Fall weiterempfehlen auch wenn die Reise ansonsten in Ordnung war. Enttäuscht hat mich am meisten, dass die Wing Wong Bay nicht angefahren wurde! Das Mittagessen war nicht sonderlich zufriedenstellend. Hinterher wurde das Trinkgeld, meiner Meinung nach zu aufdringlich eingefordert.

We liked the kindness of the crew and the beauty of the sights visits The snorkeling sites are nice and we could see beautiful fish

Hello, I rarely make comments but I think this is very useful for the next French tourists who will go to Koh Tao Very simply, Pros: Punctual transfer, organized and professional team and very kind ( team Green ), safety rule respect, sublime islands of Koh Tao, simple and efficient meal, overall good excursion. LESS positive: No one speaks French, it will take a minimum to make you understand, about 40-50 people by SpeedBoat Negative: You are more on the boats than on the islands, 2 snorkling scheduled in wonderful spots on the other hand do not expect much underwater, then finally arrive in Koh Tao for a little hour before leaving for about 1h30/2h of boats for the return (on the one way according to the weather it will take you 1h30/2h to reach the 1st snorkling spot) you will also make a stop to pick up and drop people in KohPangan. Where I really wanted to insist is the boats, very sincerely if you can’t stand the boat or if you have any apprehensions, I think we should avoid taking it... It’s you and your chance in the marine weather, but I can assure you that it moves bcp in the open sea it’s terrible and impressive (actually very bad memory for us ) After each trip is different but without wanting to denigrate the tour operator, I think taking risks with bad weather is really not great... So here is our little summary, the island is wonderful but for the trip, be brave and good swimmer just in case;-) 1800 bath per person + 250 bath for park entrance For more information do not hesitate;-)

The snorkel spots were nice and not too crowded with people. Plenty of time to roam freely on Koh Tao Island and take enchanting photos. The boat crew was very helpful in making photos for us on the vantage point (even if the photos partly did not quite correspond to our idea).
