Overview

Discover the Gulf of Thailand's finest marine scenery on a small-group speedboat journey from Koh Samui to Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan. Capped at just 16 guests, this excursion delivers a relaxed, semi-private atmosphere with dedicated guides on hand throughout the day.

Cruise across open water to Koh Tao, known for its healthy coral reefs, clear waters, and rich marine biodiversity. Snorkeling stops are chosen each morning based on sea conditions and visibility, giving you the best chance to spot vibrant reef fish, rays, and occasionally reef sharks. Guides assist with gear, offer safety rafts for resting in the water, and share insights on local marine conservation.

At midday, step ashore at Koh Tao for a Thai buffet lunch served seaside at The Whitening Restaurant. Take in the coastal scenery and recharge with authentic local dishes and fresh seasonal fruits.

The afternoon is spent on neighboring Koh Nang Yuan, a unique trio of islets linked by a pristine white sandbar. Spend your free time swimming in the turquoise lagoon, snorkeling over shallow coral gardens, or following the wooden pathway up to the renowned hilltop viewpoint for panoramic views over the sandbar and Gulf.
