Our trip out to Mu Ko Ang Thong on the Red Dragon (Ko Samui Boat charter) was fantastic. We were so glad that we chose this cruise rather than one of the fast boat tours. Our guide did a great job of selecting locations that kept us away from the hoards that can descend on these spots with many tours. We had beautiful kayaking and snorkeling in spots all to ourselves. The crew was a lot of fun throughout the whole day, and the yacht was very comfortable. It was nice to have a leisurely cruise back and to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Thanks Ron, Nikki and crew for a wonderful day.

5 out of 5 stars

The cruise was amazing from car pick up which was onto time and with an efficient to drop off. Ron , Nicki and all the crew were fantastic, the day was well structured and each activity was amazing, the small group and lovely boat environment made the day even more special. The food was amazing and plentiful. The information provided through the whole day was spot on, the kayaking experience surreal and the snorkeling with the waters to ourselves was the best. The sunset with a banana split was a great end to a magnificent day. Thank you guys.
