We got picked up on time in a very nice air conditioned people carrier. The driver spoke no English but was perfectly polite. After a 2.5hr journey we arrived to catch the boat. We had refreshments but did have to wait an hour for other parties to arrive. They were not going snorkeling but we're using the boat to go somewhere else after we got dropped off. A quick 20 min boat ride and we joined the barge at the first location to snorkel. The algi was pretty severe so we couldn't see much but with perseverance you could find some spots. Despite being told we would have 40 mins it was more like 20. We then moved to a 2nd spot which was marginally better.... only a little. Again, only for 20 mins max. Then we were taken to the island for lunch. TBH, this was the best part. The food was amazing and you can eat as much as you want. The islanders were very friendly. We then chose to go in the swimming pool but others went kayaking or swimming in the sea.
Overall a nice day out but not quite sure it was worth the money. Not terrible by any stretch but not wow either. Food was ace.

Had a seamless pickup and trip to the harbour about 2.5 hours south of Hua Hin where we were greeted by the tour operator and given access to tea, coffee, water and toast if wanted. We boarded the large speed boat for the transfer to the island about 20 minutes away. Once at the island we transferred to a large floating barge which had excellent shaded areas to place our possessions. At the time we were there we were the only group (about 10 people) so had no issues with crowds. We spent 40 minutes or so snorkelling in the first location and even though there were some green algae in the water the visibility was good, and we were able to see clearly enough. The corals and sea life was abundant and the fish were the least skittish I have experienced allowing us to float around with schools of fish within centimetres. Many varieties of coral, fish and shellfish including large, living cowry shells!
A large ship with many tourists onboard arrived in the location just as we were finishing and moving to our second spot for snorkelling. This place contained different corals and fish life from the first, this spot was also interesting and provided better visibility. After about another 40 minute snorkel we boarded the barge and were taken to the island dock and moved to the island resort for lunch. Lunch was amazing! A huge amount of food all served separately to each group from the tour including two separate prawn dishes. There was a bar available and the prices of drinks was reasonable given the location and the captive audience as there is no other option. After lunch we had about 90 minutes of free time on the island. We were able to visit an area set aside with large concrete tanks which house turtles hat were being raised as part of a conservation program. Each tank held turtles at different stages of development ranging in size from about 4 cm to about 25 cm. We chose to go for a swim and snorkel out from the island's beach where we saw yet different fish species.
When we visited the island there were only the 10 or so people from our tour group there so it was very quiet. There didn't appear to be any resort guests at that time and 90 minutes was more than enough time.
After this we boarded a smaller but still fast speed boat back to the mainland and transferred back to Hua Hin. The whole fay was about 11.5 hours but still very enjoyable. The villages on the drive there and back offer a different view of this part Of Thailand than that experienced in more urbanised and developed centres like Hua Hin and Bangkok.

Disappointing experience. , very bad guides by the water was more interested in getting so many in the water at once so all in all do not spend 3500bath on anything irrespective,if I have to have something positive to say about the trip then it is the staff on the island so there for 1 star

Hi, I’m sorry to hear that your experience with the Koh Talu Island staff didn’t meet your expectations. The trip was advertised as a snorkeling tour, not a diving one. As their team organized the trip (and we only resold it), it would be helpful to pinpoint what went wrong. I’ll make sure your feedback is passed along to the Koh Talu Island team.

Une des meilleures expériences de notre voyage à Hua Hin. Le chemin était long mais ça en valait la peine largement. Première fois qu'on faisait du snorkeling 🤿 et franchement c'était top ! Le guide était hyper gentil. Pour ma part, j'ai peur des profondeurs et ils m'ont guidée tout du long donc c'est un réel plus parce que j'ai pu profiter de l'expérience. Vivement recommandé si vous venez à Hua Hin.
