Beautiful snorkelling experience - It was a long day for our son but the islands we visited were stunning and the snorkelling was quite fun. We saw loads of fish and a turtle. The staff were really lovely, helpful and clearly communicated any rules or information we needed to know. The lunch was quite yummy.

Snorkeling Trip in a pretty part of the world - Good communication from the start. After getting picked up from the resort we arrived at the launch site. A very basic breakfast was provided of toast, butter, banana and tea/coffee. The speedboat ride was about 80 minutes to the first snorkelling point. You jump off the back of the boat. They provide snorkelling masks ( not the fins). After about 40 minutes you get back on board to another bay for more snorkelling about 10 minutes away. Both these spots are in Ko Tao. After another 40 minutes or so you get taken for lunch on the island which again was pretty basic but filling. You get about half hour to walk around. Ko Nang Yuan is the next stop ( for which you have to pay about 250/150 THB ( adult/child) in cash. There is an opportunity to do a hike to the highest point. The sweltering heat made it a tad challenging but it shouldn’t take you more than about 30 minutes return. More opportunity to snorkel and see some fishes and corals. The waters are crystal clear. On Ko Nang Yuan there are restaurants and cafes. Then the return trip back was about 80 minutes back to Samui. Plenty of cold water, soft drinks, caring staff ( there were 4 for our boat which had about 26 visitors) made it an enjoyable day.

Great guide and the stop at Ko Nang Yuan was the highlight - Well organised pick up and drop off. You spend around 90 mins on the speedboat to get to the first snorkelling location, make sure you have sun protection and are prepared for a bumpy ride if you sit up front! Three snorkeling locations led by an expert and entertaining guide. The last stop - koh nang yuan - is the most beautiful. Our guide took and shared videos of the turtles, fish and coral we saw. Buffet lunch, vegetarian options weren’t clearly identified for those who requested veg meals.

Different expectations? - Good guides and fun snorkeling. Only I didn’t really get to see the island of Koh Tao, we were only there for an hour. That was just enough to go to the bathroom and have a quick lunch. It looked like we were going to visit all the different bays, but that didn't happen. I snorkeled for 40min in total, on koh nang yuan I had just enough time to go to the vantage point. It may be a misconception of myself, but I had understood that we were going to spend more time in and around koh tao.
