Slightly more expensive than some of the other full day cruises but well worth it. Great food and soft drink onboard and included. Crew very attentive, friendly and helpful. Chilled out transfer to the national park, plenty of time on each island, towels included. Nice sunset on the way home. Good quality transfer buses. Highly recommend.

The crew is amazing, the boat very comfortable and well equipped and the food is great and plentiful. The optional hikes are very challenging. No need for hiking boots, sneakers will do but in the heat and humidity, and that they are almost vertical staircases just be advised it’s not good for people with fear of heights or not in great shape. In general would not advise this trip for people with mobility issues as getting on and off the boat would be difficult if you have any. Amazing day & beautiful islands!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks a lot for your kind review. We also really appreciate you sharing your experience and helpful advice regarding the hikes and accessibility, as it can be very useful for future guests. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so glad you had an amazing day exploring the beautiful islands!

Thanks for your kind review. Appreciated the food, drinks, smooth transfers, and the care from our crew throughout the trip. We’re especially happy you could fully enjoy the islands and end the day with a beautiful sunset on the journey back. Thank you again for your recommendation — we truly appreciate it and look forward to welcoming you onboard again in the future!

Had a wonderful day on this tour! The food was delicious and the staff were very helpful and kind. I only docked a star because the responsiveness to messages leading up to the tour was lacking, the confusion around me cancelling my mom’s ticket in advance was frustrating, and the seating to eat was limited. They will offer water for the hike - I strongly suggest taking 2 bottles - it is a beautiful view of angthong park but it is a steep hike.
NKeri_A, Sep 2025
Amazing day! The staff were second to none, many thanks to Toto and Piko and their colleagues for taking such good care of us. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side the entire day but we still had a great time! And the food … delicious!
Chrisdale_W, Jun 2025
My wife and I went on this cruise as a part of our honeymoon. From start to finish we couldn't have asked for more. The service was incredible Toto our guide and all the crew did everything humanly possible to make our trip special. The food served was divine and all cooked fresh on the boat by chef Anne she even baked a cake. The boat was beautiful maintained and took us from island to island with amazing sights. You choose stay on the boat, lie on the beach or hike up to see amazing sights ( hint take some good walking shoes). Then jump off the boat for an amazing swim in beautiful clear water. Once again simply amazing highly recommend this cruise.

Trip
Important to have the right mindset because this excursion is about the journey not the destination. The trip is 3 hours one way. If you have children with you I would suggest bringing coloring books or activities for them on the long boat ride.
Food
Breakfast was nice, a few things to choose from. I suggest making a little breakfast sandwich. Lunch was great! And they are continuously coming around with snacks.
Drinks
They're constantly handing you water and giving out waters to go to shore, much appreciated. All different sorts of drinks are included. Alcoholic beverages are extra but I like that you were on a tab and pay that instead of each time.
The boat
The boat older, but big and in good condition. Has plenty of lounge chairs for everybody in addition to some upright seating. Nice full-fledged bathrooms residential toilets. This is not your typical crammed tour boat. They will also put up shades over the lounge chairs if you ask.
The staff
That staff could not be more accommodating. Constantly asking if you need anything. All great and friendly.
The stops
1st stop can rent a beach chair for only 50 bhat. Or do a hike to the lookout. This beach is really nice sand and water.
2nd stop is really just for the lookout. The water is very rocky.
3nd stop anchor to swim in the sea.
Accessibility
The boat is easy to board from the main dock.
The two island stops are a tender. They do have a very sturdy set of stairs to help you into the tender which is really nice. But you do have to step on the boat. It can be a little difficult to navigate with mobility issues.
Additionally, both Islands dock are the floating type that move and wobble with the water.
I should note though there was a gentleman in our group that had a cane and some mobility issues. He was a trooper and made it, out but it's definitely going to be a slight challenge.
Price
Did you have the budget I would say that it is worth the more luxurious boat on such a long trip. I can't imagine being stuck on a seat in a speedboat for hours.
Did you think it would have been nice if beer and mine was included considering a $150 USD price. I paid a third of that before and had basic alcohol included.
Other Comments
I understand with the long haul I need to use the motor to save some time and get to the island. But considering it's a sailboat, I do wish we would have spent 30 or 40 minutes actually sailing.
Overall
This is a very long day out. And remember it's about the journey on the boat with a few nice stops. If you're somebody that love spending a day out on the water this would be a perfect. But if you're looking for constant entertainment, this is probably not your tour.
Isabella_P, Mar 2025
No one was helpful or wanting to advocate for the guest despite the tour being unsafe, they believed the tour company saying they went out as it was safe, but it was torrential rain, rocky and we were stranded for 5 hours in the middle of the ocean as the captain didn’t want to sail due to being unsafe waters. The crew on the boat were VERY accomodating and lovely, tried to make best of a bad situation but Very disappointed that no one on Viator team listened to us or advocated and that I had to push for my own refund which I only got less than 50% with no help from Viator. Others on the same tour who booked with other companies were given a Complete refund and advocated by their company
If the weather had been pleasant this tour would have been extremely worth it
Ilona_C, Mar 2025
Amazing boat tour! Loved everything about it! Very comfortable and very spacious! Very good lunch and lots of refreshments throughout the day. The staff on the boat were amazing! I wish we had a few more stops for a swim in the middle of nowhere as the day flew by! Cannot recommend enough!
Valeriia_B, Feb 2025
It was a great trip, the guide was lovely and very sociable person with great knowledge of English and German.
Kathleen_B, Jan 2025
This is a wonderful trip! All day on a large sailboat with only 30 people maximum- our trip was fewer than that. We had a perfect day for sailing. The crew is exceptional.
Things to know:
-Bring: hiking clothes, swimwear and another change of clothes, LOTS of sunscreen.
-There are four changing rooms and 4 bathrooms
- The staff is very accommodating in providing shade for everyone who wants it
-The (optional) "hikes" are wonderful, but not really hikes. They involve climbing steep stairs, and the first is uneven stairs made of limestone. The second is almost like climbing huge ladders. They are beautiful views, and we were able to do them, but many people on these tours were not.
(As a guide, we live in the mountains and are used to hiking at altitude, and we still had to take breaks- but we also did it at a much faster pace than most, so you need not be highly fit.) Just be prepared for a vigorous climb and bring lightweight clothes for hiking, and be prepared to sweat! I was happy I'd worn my hiking sandals and quick dry attire, though many made the climb in flip flops and swimsuits
- The transport service was very nice as well
- You will have long stretches of cruising, so you may want to bring a book
- We had perfect weather and calm seas, so sea sickness was not an issue, but the staff did have medication if needed
- I would game chosen this trip hands down compared to any others that we saw. Other trips appeared way over crowded and did not have nearly the amenities we did
Pernilla_M, Jan 2025
It was a perfect day! The sun was warm and there where just a little wind. The boat was beautiful and the service was excellent! The food tasted good and Angthong was beautiful! Be prepared for some climbing in stairs to look at magnificent views. That was a bit “hard work” but after eating and lying on the boat it felt good to “exercise”
If I come back here I would defenitly do this again.
Sweety_M, Jan 2025
The three stars go to Tau Tau, Miguel, and the crew for their friendly and hospitable service. I booked this trip for my family expecting a calm and relaxing experience. However, the crew overlooked checking the wind conditions, and we endured nearly four hours of heavy waves and strong winds in the middle of the sea.
I was embarrassed to have spent $145 on something so far from what was promised. Although I personally checked the weather the day before and knew to expect a mix of rain and sunshine, I trusted the captain’s judgment to proceed with the trip.
My recommendation to the team is to prioritize safety by cancelling trips when the weather forecast indicates strong winds, rather than risking passengers’ safety.
Zoey_F, Oct 2024
We were traveling as a group of 10 and this was the perfect outing for us! The cruise included a day bed for each person to lay out on, breakfast, lunch, fruit, waters/sodas/coffees, and snacks. We loved the mix of relaxation (~3 hour boat ride to/from the islands) and activities (intense hike for great views of the marine park, swimming, etc.). The food was delicious and the guides were excellent!
Eleanor_C, Aug 2024
Toto, Go, Captain, and the crew were all very hospitable and attentive! It was a beautiful relaxing day for the family-- just taking in the sun rays and views as we cruise to and from the National Park. We loved jumping off the back of the boat!
Fabulous meals-- particularly lunch. Even my husband who is a picky eater enjoyed the meal. We were never starving-- meals, snacks, banana bread, fruits galore! I would definitely recommend this tour if you're looking to just relax while taking in the breathtaking views.
Gerard_P, Jul 2024
Stunning day out visiting the islands. Beautiful boat with lots of great food provided. Your guides were super helpful, friendly and engaging. Would definitely recommend if you are in Koh Samui. There were other boats out there that seemed like massive tour groups, ours did not feel like that at all.
Michael_D, Jul 2024
My friends and I had the best day ever! We felt fully tended to the entire day, from amazing coffee to snacks and refreshments before and after our meal. The food was amazing!! Even if you don’t get a sunset it’s still a gorgeous day. Highly recommend, anyone who doesn’t do this is missing out!
Kevin_P, Jul 2024
The staff was great and so was the experience! Everyone was friendly and very informative. The boat/cruise out to the island was so smooth and pleasant. Definitely wear sunscreen (of course), but it was just a nice relaxing time. And it is kind of set up as choose your own adventure. My partner and I had a pretty eventful week leading up to this, so we chose some chill activities. So if you don't want to hike up the mountain (which I'm sure is worth the views), you can always chill at the beach or at any of the other shops.
In any case, the food was great and it was just a nice time to spend with someone you love. Or even by yourself since the staff all spoke pretty great English or German for some of the members. You won't regret going!

Greg_M, Jun 2024
Just back from our cruise yesterday and it really was amazing. The staff were fantastic and soo friendly and knowledgeable. They had the timings and layout of the trip prefected. Food and snacks were also very good. It's not just the best organised trip we've been on in Thailand but possibly anywhere. Very well done and thank you again.
James_P, Jun 2024
Great friendly and very helpful crew. Very attentive. Excellent lunch. The boat is large, comfortable for relaxing on the loungers and dining at the large table. The staff put up sun shades over the loungers as needed for comfort from the strong sun and heat, yet allowed for wonderful ocean breeze .
Helen_P, May 2024
Everything about this tour is first class but the best thing making it unique vs other tours to the same area was the comfort level…Simply lie back on the plentiful sun beds with a sun canopy overhead and limitless cold drinks supplied while the breeze created by the boat and the water cools you down…Food and staff also excellent and scenery breathtaking.

Great experience overall - boat wasn’t overpacked (I think max 30 of us), plenty of space for us all. Great food, free water, coffee/tea and soft drinks, reasonable prices for local beer. Itinerary follows some of the cheaper cruises, and it can get a little crowded on land but don’t hesitate to book this trip! They give you enough time to do the hikes up to the viewpoint and still get a bit of swim time in. The swim stop after seeing the emerald lagoon was a highlight - no other boats in the area, had a lot of fun. Also loved the fresh coconut, and all the snacks!
Dimitra_R, Mar 2024
Very comfortable boat with sun loungers for everyone. The staff was amazing and the food was excellent! We had a lovely time and would highly recommend it!
Natalie_M, Mar 2024
What an excellent, well looked after lots of lovely food and the places were lovely we visited. The crew were amazing.
Susan_A, Mar 2024
Lovely day out to Ang Thong! This is probably the best tour option for getting out there outside of a private charter. We had 32 people on board compared to 80+ on some of the other ships, so it felt very comfortable. There was plenty of space to lay out, the staff on board was incredibly kind and helpful with wonderful service, and we were certainly well fed! It did get quite hot at some points but they had canopies that covered most of the loungers, and the sea breeze was exquisite. We experienced some hard rain, but they got us under cover with plenty of time to spare and had ponchos available as well.
The hikes during the stops are optional, which I decided against and just enjoyed time on the beach and the boat. The floating docks can be a challenge to manage if the waves are rough, but the staff made sure to help if needed. The first stop did have a gift and coffee shop, which I wish I knew before getting off the boat, but the water felt amazing to swim in and apparently the views at the top of the hike were beautiful (what I heard from others). It was a very long day, but very lovely way to see something outside of Koh Samui.
Gabriella_C, Jan 2024
A MUST DO! We had the most amazing day on this boat trip to the national park. There were only 10 of us so it felt like a private charter. Everything was immaculate, the food was incredible and the staff we’re faultless. So many little touches that made the day special- and to top it off, we saw whales!! Our biggest regret was not bringing any cash to tip. Make sure you do!!
Gonzalo_L, Jan 2024
Enjoyable full-day boat tour of Anthong National Park. Trip includes breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Three stops including docking at sea to swim around and jump off the boat. Definitely bring hiking shoes if you plan to hike the first stop - very difficult but the view is worth it. My only critique was that trip would have been more enjoyable with about 5-8 less people. There were not enough lounge chairs or seats at the dining table for the entire group. We had to take multiple dingy rides to shuttle everyone from the boat to the islands. Would still recommend over other boat options that looked more crowded but this excursion should be capped at a smaller number.
Antonia_G, Aug 2023
This was a wonderful day on the water… the sea breeze the stunning scenery and wonderful food made this trip one to remember… thankyou to the crew.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Antonia, thank you! I will let the crew know you enjoyed your time with us. Hope to see you again :)
Gurleen_S, Jul 2023
Staff on board was amazing! Very attentive and kind. Food was plentiful and delicious.the only bit of feedback both hikes up are not for beginners they are intermediate to advanced so you should bring adequate shoes for a steep climb and be prepared to sweat.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you so much for your kind words and hope to see you again soon!
Palle_S, Jun 2023
We had a wonderful day. The most qualified attentive crew on the boat. Great food and top notch service with fruit snacks soda/water and so on. If you get the chance to take this trip do it. Form trip "boss" to captain all the best efforts
