This was a wonderful snorkel trip. The reefs around Koh Tao are amazing. I have snorkeled in many places around the world and this was one of the best. The tour started out with lots of information. Our own stainless water bottles were given out. The boat trip, even though long, was enjoyable. The wind is great when it’s hot and humid out. We did three stops for snorkeling and each was fantastic. The last one was to see turtles and we certainly saw turtles. We saw lots of corals and amazing fish. The Thai lunch stop was great. The entire trip we were offered many drinks and they served fresh cut fruit after each stop. Which is wonderful after snorkeling!! The people in the boat helped us out so much. Were very polite. And the guides in the water were wonderful. They took our GoPro and dove down for better videos for us! I highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to enjoy some fantastic snorkeling.

Highlight of our trip

Highly attentive crew, knowledgeable guides and incredible locations. In the lead up, Cara was fantastic with communication ensuring that everything was in hand for any requirements and the pre trip briefing was crystal clear. Everyone on our Snorkelling Tour was an absolute diamond throughout our day. Alex was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the locations and the marine life we were seeing. Very aware of the people in our group and would check in with everyone regularly. There was an emphasis on not impacting the environment, no fish feeding or touching the corals which is how it should be so we can preserve the corals and enjoy snorkelling around them in the future. The journey to Koh Tao is about 90 mins from Samui by speedboat. The ride was very smooth and comfortable. Miau (sorry, spelling) was an excellent host on the boat the rest of crew were fantastic, making sure everyone was hydrated and comfortable as well as offering to take photos and videos for people and highlighting specific view points. Lunch was lovely, plenty of option and plenty to go around, good fuel for the 3 stops of snorkelling! Whenever we return to Koh Samui in the future we will be booking again in a heartbeat. What an experience!

Definitely recommend!

We snorkeled at 3 reefs and all of them were beautiful! The food was nice and the guides were great.

Fantastic snorkelling trip.

This trip was a fantastic experience. The whole day was so well organised from the numbered water bottles, to the crew helping us with our equipment and the guided snorkelling in small groups. We saw a large variety of fish and also a very large turtle, which was a highlight. There was a delicious Thai lunch on an island and beautiful fruit on board. The crew were so friendly and the whole day was thoroughly enjoyable and well worth the boat ride to get to Koh Tao. My love of snorkelling has been reignited.

Worth every penny 👍

Very well-organised from start to finish. Would recommend to absolutely everyone who is visiting Ko Samui. Yes, the price is noticeably higher than other tours, but for a good reason! Perfect for ppl looking to experience the beautiful nature of Thailand away from the crowd :)
