Highlights
  • Thongsala Pier (Raja, Lomprayah, Seatran, Night Boat) - Spend a full day in the emerald jewel of Thailand on a speed tour to Angthong Marine Park from Koh Phangan. Start the trip with a light breakfast at Thong Sala Pier and cruise by speed boat operated by Lomlahk Khirin in 45 minutes through the archipelago with 42 islands. Enjoy the rest of your day snorkeling and kayaking in the idyllic oasis of the park and hike up to the top of Koh Mae Ko Island for an amazing view of the stunning saltwater lagoon.

Start the trip with a pickup from your hotel on Koh Phangan by air-conditioned minivan.

Nice day on the sea - Lovely crew, especially the captain who showed great diligence and care for the tour group. Good program, but I would advise them to either skip the snorkeling or change the location as there was very little visibility. Thailand has amazing underwater scene but there wasn't anything to enjoy. Otherwise nice day on the sea, especially the last beach stop with one of the most amazing beaches I've been to in Thailand. Lunch was also very tasety and the staff seemed knowledgeable and everything happened as planned. We encountered quite rough sea coming back but we were notified in advance, had to wear lifejackets but there was no danger and the captain navigated everything very professionally.

great experience, chompy big waves - staff was great, we some some beautiful places. However the speedboat trip is NOT for the faint of heart! We were going over waves of 1-2 meters, so if you get seasick or scared easily, this trip is not for you

5 stars BUT... - 5 stars BUT... sooo the trip was great for us, definitely 5/5 BUT you have to know what is not shown in the offer: you have to be lucky with the weather otherwise you will miss 50% of the magic, also snorkeling spot was very crowded and nothing like you would imagine reading the official description - in our case, a couple hundred people were snorkeling in a quite small area, and water was not clear so we didn't see too much fish and coral reef, also kayaking activity was quite limited because of a high sea level and wind. WHAT WAS GREAT: great super cool staff, they were super friendly, helpful and kind, the boat was comfy, lunch was really really good, nature in the marine park is magnificent.

Great physical activity day trip - A great day trip. There was a small breakfast of toast and bananas at arrival. Started off with a 40 minute speed boat journey to the first snorkel spot. It wasn’t a clear day so they let us off to swim but they gave snorkels out for those that still wanted to have a go. Next was kayaking and lunch at another island. Then we took the speed boat to Ang Thong National Park for the hike. This was a hard fully uphill hike which takes over an hour to complete, the views at the top are amazing. Next we took the speed boat to another island for a shorter hike to Emerald Lake. This consists of steps/ladders and took about 20 minutes. Then we took the speed boat back which took about an hour due to travelling into the winds. Overall an amazing day but was a very physical day trip out so definitely take trainers.

Lovely day out - We were taken to only one snorkelling spot which had poor visibility (not their fault) and the fish etc that we did see was very scarce and could be seen better on Koh Tao. The island visits were lovely for relaxing and the hike up to the Emerald lagoon, although tiring, was great to do. My recommendation for elderly couples is to be cautious if you have walking issues as you have to exit the boat via a plastic wharf which bounces up and down as you walk. Easy to loose your balance and nothing to hang on to, so make sure you have assistance.

Combo trip a bit to much for one say - The tour as such was all in all ok but pick-up delays and large groups meant that we left harbor 40 minutes late wich had an impact on the time for activities. Guides were great though. And linch nice. Walk to peak was hot but so worth it. Cayaking suffered most from the delay and the snorkeling spot was overcrowded.

We were offered another... - We were offered another day due to high waves, we accepted the offer and accepted it. The guide simply stopped contacting us and didn't show up that day
