A wonderful experience,... - A wonderful experience, very well organised and guides Tom and Marta were fun and gave excellent instructions on activity, highly recommend the kayak experience, we had not previously had any experience but felt safe and had an amazing time! Angthong national marine park stunning but, being more mature in years and not athletes, could not manage the full hike to highest viewpoint but still not disappointed with the views we did see. A must visit fir those travelling to Koh Samui!

Honest Review - 100% would recommend. Went with my wife and we had the time of our lives. It takes about 1.5h to get there so if you get sea sick like me, I would recommend taking something before the boat trip.

Beautiful Views & Fun Activities - We really enjoyed our trip to Anthong National Park. We started off the day by taking the ferry to the national park, which took about 1.5-2 hours from the pier at Koh Samui. Once we got to the national park, we kayaked along the escarpments and through a few caves. Later in the day, we did a hike, which had a beautiful view of the grotto, and enjoyed some time on the beach.
Later in the afternoon, it downpoured for a few hours, so it impacted our ability to snorkel that day.
It was a pretty long day, as getting to/from Anthong alone takes 4-5 hours of the day, between driving to the pier from your hotel/resort, to taking the ferry. It was, however, a very wonderful experience and truly beautiful! If you have the time, and energy for an all day excursion, I’d recommend it!

Lovely day out on the islands - Great day trip out on the islands. Bit of travel as expected but all very pleasant.
The guides - like very trip we have been on in Thailand were excellent. Always enthusiastic and jolly.
The places visited were beautiful and the kayaking was fun - but hot.
The climb to the top on the second is quite challenging and you will need decent shoes. We don’t make it to the top but still enjoyed the viewpoints we went to.
A great way to see some different islands and nice landscapes. The boat was pretty full but getting on and off via kayak or longboat was managed well as was supply of food and drinks. Plenty of soft drinks available all through the trip.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.

A nice excursion for healthy adults only - Really great adventure. My girlfriend is very sensitive to sea sickness but the transfer boat was big and quite a steady ride. What surprised us about this experience was the food included. First there was a breakfast with coffee, a banana cup cake and banana. Then there was a well rounded thai lunch. Free water and soft drinks.
We loved the kayak ride.
In the national marine park there are 500 meters of uneven stairs and quite dangerous. The thai host said we could use flip flops when climbing those stairs when we left the boat for the marine park. After seeing stairs later we realized this was a pretty bad recommendation. You have to use sneakers to be safe. We are young, strong and this is not something for children or elderly at all - but using flip flops here is really dangerous. Sharp uneven steps that were very steep. We managed but I just wanted to add this.
This is not a trip for children in general.

Lovely day out on big boat in July! - Good communication pre trip, confirming pickup location. Driver arrived on time in Thing Krut in an a/c minibus.
Busy boat was loaded and away quickly with croissants, bananas for light breakfast, plus really available soft drinks, water, tea and coffee through whole trip. Recommend take a refillable water bottle to fill up on board through the day for when off the boat. Over 90 min to the island area of interest.
We left the big boat via kayak, the other half on board started with the beach trip. Kayaking was around part of an island and beautiful calm sea. Each boat provided with a waterproof sack for valuables.
Transfer to beaches thereafter were via long boat, which was fun.
Landing on a beach for the hike to the green lagoon meant climbing a very steep metal staircase. We wore water shoes with rubber sole. Flip-flops not ideal. Lovely views.
Gets very busy at the top so glad we got that done quickly after landing.
Well organised rotation of groups meant that each time we went back to the boat, the other group were doing something else and so there was plenty of room for return to boat for good food - rice, chicken (mild for International market), veg and fruit.
Next island after lunch have little to relax on beach and swim/ snorkel in roped safe area, hike to viewpoint (again, sturdy water shoes were just about OK) along a very very steep stepped path, or a hike to a cave along a very steep path which turned into bouldering. It's totally up to you if you choose to go off do this, so accept it's at your own risk. There are many guide ropes up to the cave but not many in the actual cave, which felt a little scary at times. Guide roped were also useful on way back down, able to traverse some parts backwards using the rope. The cave was hard work for me and son but it sounded like viewpoint hike was also hard work for daughter and hubby. Can't highlight enough that neither walk is easy. Take care of footwear and stay hydrated.
Not much to see while snorkeling and sharp coral at low tide is not very friendly. The swim to cool off after hiking/ climbing was lovely though. Good facilities at this island - 'proper' toilets.
Left the are around 3.30pm for long boat trip back to Samui.
Good communication through the day from your guides, helpful boat men getting you in and out of boats and generally an efficient, safe operation to the end.

A really great day trip to Angthong Park! - We really enjoyed our day out on this trip, the guides were very helpful and informative. Starting the visit to Angthong by a kayak tour was great fun and a different way to see the islands! The Marine Park is very beautiful and definitely worth the visit. It’s a steep hike to the view point but worth it for the views. Not an easy walk to do in flip flops! Overall it was a great experience and recommend booking through here rather than through the hotels, as it’s much better value for money!

Beautiful islands with lots of climbing - Overall a good experience. For being the cheapest tour option available, we were pleased with the organization and the tour team. The marine park really is as beautiful as the photos. I would note that this is a walk/hike heavy tour and the snorkelling is not good (but we had fun!). We did the kayaking which gave a really good view of the island. There wasn't much time to linger in the kayak, but the guide was good and patient. The walk up to the emerald lagoon was not too hard though there are many very steep stairs, but it's not so far and it's possible to do it in flip flops (just be very careful not to lose them through the stair gaps). We liked the flexibility on the second island to hike to the overlook or cave or swim/snorkel. We hiked to the cave which was shorter and very cool—you should definitely wear sneakers or strap on sandals for this one because it is a challenging rocky climb with debris and you use ropes to climb. We really liked seeing the first cave (we didn't go to the others because of time/challenge. The beach is beautiful and has fine sand, though the swim area isn't great for snorkelling—the coral is dead and there aren't many fish. The lunch on the boat was good.

Not for small kids because of hiking is difficult unless you give it up. - Went 2 parents and 3 children 5/8/10. Picked up from hotel around 8 and waited there for an hour to gather the group. There is another payment for the reservation 150 kid (under 110cm !!!!) and 300 THB for adult. The boat was loaded with people, very crowded. After 45 minutes of sailing we arrived the first location that had hiking trip to a view point. The guided said it should take 30 minutes but it's very hard and not for small kids less than 8, too bad no one told us. Next stop is launch and kayaking. Next stop is climbing stairs for 10 minutes for lake with great view. Next is snorkeling for 40 min and than hading back to samui. The whole trip was around 8 hours. If you have sea sickness don't think about going on that boat.
