Top Thailand Day Trips - page 104

This tour was the perfect way to explore the best parts of the marine park without feeling rushed. The whole crew was professional, organized, and attentive. You are never thirsty—the crew makes sure you are hydrated, offering water or soft drinks all day—or hungry, with a generous lunch and fresh fruits available throughout the day. The crew was also knowledgeable and kind, and they go out of their way to capture the best photos of you throughout the day. You don’t have to participate in any of the activities if you don’t want to (e.g. snorkelling or kayaking), but I highly recommend that you do. The crew took great action shots of my partner and I while we kayaked, and they even carry your phones, and your water, up to the Emerald Lake viewpoint, allowing you to walk up unencumbered (it is a fairly steep trail) and take pictures at the top. If you’re staying in Koh Samui and you want to explore the marine park, I cannot recommend this tour enough. What I will say is that your should definitely bring shoes to walk up to the Emerald Lake viewpoint—it is a steep walk.
