Beautiful Marine Life and a Friendly Team - We had a wonderful snorkelling trip and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and kind. The experience was beautiful and we really appreciated the opportunity to see the marine life. We hope the tour providers continue prioritising environmental protection, marine life welfare, and thorough rubbish management. One small suggestion would be to include a bit more education for guests about respectful wildlife behaviour. For example, we noticed some tourists didn’t realise they shouldn’t swim directly above sea turtles. A quick briefing on this would help protect these amazing animals.

Quality tour, best snorkeling, great lunch. - This was the best snorkeling experience I've had out of several I've done throughout Asia. Three stops for snorkeling, the first two were 40 minutes each and the last one an hour and a half. At the last one which is the picture on this app is actually the best one. They actually pushed that spot as a place to sunbathe and climb the mountain etc. But if you walk across that little spit of sand in the picture and go in along the rocks on the left and swim for 10 minutes you will come to a great area. Buffet lunch was wonderful and all you can eat. Guides worked hard to keep you safe boarding. A quality, on time, professional organization. Got more than I expected.

Great daytrip from Samui - Good tour as described - though the order of the itinerary and specific snorkel sites will depend on the weather/wind and swell direction to optimise the experience. Can be rough on the way back in the speedboat but our trip was comfortable with calm seas. Good way to see these places from Samui if you dont have time to stay on Koh Tao itself. Very grateful they let me borrow the one pair of fins they had!

Koh Tao/Ang Yuan Day Trip - Brilliant tour. Absolutely one of the best things to do while in Koh Samui. We were picked up on time from our hotel and the minivan journey to the pier was quite comfortable. As we had breakfast prior to our arrival, the food(just banans,bread/ butter, tea/coffee) was not taken into factor for this review. Toilet avaiable here was sanitary. The speedboat then took us to the 1st snorkelling spot which was really disappointing as the water was murky. We spent 45 mins here and then headed to the next spot,5mins away. Here on out , everything about this trip blew our minds. Koh Tao has water clearer than almost any other island, and snorkelling here was a dream. Spotted leopardfish,needlefish,parrotfish,sea turtles and titan triggerfish. (Tip: carry your own fins if you have as they didn't provide any) 45 minutes here went too fast and then we headed to a lunch spot on Koh Tao. The food this time was on point, with every dish being a definite hit. We were given time to go explore the nearby areas, mostly filled with dive shops and cafes. Finally, we headed to our final spot for the day, Ang Yuan beach marine park. Words wouldn't do justice , this place is simply a sight to behold. 2 options are given with a time of 1.5hrs. Either snorkel or go hike the viewpoint, with the hike taking 50mins in total. We decided to snorkel as it was blazingly hot when we went. The sea here has corals ,sea cucumbers and triggerfish in abundance. Seeing such beatiful and complex marine life when you're not even fully submerged in the water was the coolest aspect of this area. (Tip: If you need life jackets, get it prior to entering the beach area, for 550Baht deposit, refunded on return) The journey back took 1.5hrs , with us reaching the pier at 4.15pm. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone with a day or two in Koh Samui.

Wonderful one-day trip for families w kids - This trip was very pleasant and wonderful to see so many tropical fish! We were a bit worried travelling with kids age 9 and 12 (who are OK swimmers but not the strongest), but it was no problem for them to be snorkling for several hours. In fact, we couldnt't get them out of the water! The crew was very kind and helpful and everything went smooth. Lunch was nice and the soft beverages on board the boat was definitely a plus! Can recommend to all families travelling with kids!
