1. Koh Samui: Koh Tao and Nangyuan Snorkeling Tour with Lunch

The friendly team of Insea Speedboat will pick you up directly from the hotel lobby on Koh Samui and bring you to the private pier at Bang Rak.

As you arrive at Koh Nangyuan, we recommend to immediately hike to the top of the spectacular viewpoint to avoid the crowds. It takes around 15 minutes to get to the top. Besides the viewpoint, you can spend time at the beach where a plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas are available to rent. There are a few separate swimming areas on Koh Nangyuan - the Japanese Reef Garden is certainly one of the most impressive snorkel spot. The water is very shallow at the beginning with fine sand. After that it will be a little bit stony because the underground is full of corals, that’s why the water color is so beautiful. Continue by speed boat to Koh Tao which is just half a kilometer from Nangyuan. Stop at a hidden cove in the east of Koh Tao and enjoy a scrumptious Thai style lunch at the beautiful ocean front restaurant. Then it is time for paddling by kayak along the dramatic coastline with steep cliffs. For the more relaxed, cool off in the water and peer into the amazing underwater world from above.

The whole experience from the time we got on the boat to the time we disembarked was amazing The food tasted amazing. The snorkeling area we went to was the best snorkeling spot we have been to ( we have been to The Great Barrier Reef, Cancun, Costa Rica and Indonesia ). Kayaking was also so much fun. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience. Our guide, the monkey man :) was great too .

Great tour. Really recommend. Had a great day with 3 great guides. Great lunch, nothing to complain about. The cave takes a bit of courage but it will be rewarded. Everything went wonderfully. Would I book again
