Boat tour - very good - The boats we booked were overall pretty good and in very neat condition. You felt safe and comfortable throughout the ride. The staff was extremely professional, friendly and always helpful. All procedures were well explained and organized, which was especially pleasant when snorkeling. The snorkeling experience itself was beautiful: clear water, great visibility and an impressive underwater world. We saw a lot of beautiful and colorful fish, which made the experience unforgettable. Overall we were very satisfied and can definitely recommend this tour.

Choppy but fun! - My husband and I had a great time on our snorkeling tour, exploring coral reefs and visiting gorgeous islands! Our trip from Koh Samui was very bumpy, with most of the group becoming seasick. Tom and his team did an absolutely amazing job monitoring, caring for and cleaning up after everyone. They moved quickly around the very rocky boat providing sick bags, taking away used sick bags and offering eucalyptus oil to people's hands and temples to ease the nausea. Absolutely amazing service on the bumpiest boat ride we have ever had!

“Unforgettable Day at Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan” - My trip to Koh Tao was an unforgettable experience. The island’s natural beauty is incredible — turquoise water, coral reefs, and that laid-back tropical vibe that instantly makes you relax. The speedboat ride from Koh Samui was well-organized and comfortable. It took around 1 hour, and the crew did a great job ensuring everyone’s safety and comfort. The snorkelling around Koh Tao was fantastic — clear water, colourful coral, and plenty of marine life. But the real highlight was Koh Nang Yuan — absolutely stunning! The sandbar connecting the three small islands is picture-perfect, and the viewpoint at the top offers a breathtaking panoramic view. It’s definitely the winner of the trip. Overall, this was a wonderful day out — a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and incredible scenery. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Overall enjoyable trip. - The boat trip is quite rough on the way back. You should sit inside the boat when it's rough for safety. Otherwise the trip was good. We saw a big turtle and also lots of fish. The hike on the first island can get busy and you have to wait a long time- I turned around and went snorkelling instead.

The tour described does... - The tour described does not correspond to the reality. During the day, we skipped at least two locations, including the Mango Bay without providing a clear explanation. It was only when the tourists asked whether we are going there, the boat captain said no, without giving any information. The smell of a fuel closer to the captain in the boat was quite strong, so be careful where you sit.

A bit disappointing - Pros: 1. The tour was on time and the guide was warm, welcoming, and funny. 2. The islands were stunning. Cons: 1. The promise of a “breakfast included” in the price is totally misleading. We were offered instant coffee and white bread with jam in a dismal boat launch area. 2. Two of the three motors on our boat were not working, so it took several attempts by the crew to get them going, which was stressful, smelly and uncomfortable for the guests. 3. More information about what to bring is required in the tour description (eg bring own towels, wear bathing suits for first stop since you are in the water on and off the boat and up to your waist at first island, running shoes not necessary for hike, etc). 4 Snorkeling was just OK - water was murky so didn’t see much. 5.The four stops seemed rushed - most of your time on this 9-hour excursion wull be spent in a car or bumping through the waves on the speed boat (be prepared for over 5 hours of noisy, bumpy time on the boat when you can’t move or talk to anyone).

DANGEROUS. MISERABLE - Dangerous. Miserable. -dozens of people had to be rescued from water or by boat which had no ladder, including me (strong swimmer) - they put a rope across 2 islands for us to hold onto -Had us go across water, no life jacket suggested, no inquiry to ask if we could swim - young child jumped in as her father being swept away in current - crazy thing, this went on for hours (tourists we crossing at direction of tour guides) DANGEROUS - 1st snorkeling spot, at least 500 participants all crammed in a sandy area about size of basketball court -snorkel area size of basketball court, not much to see except a few small fish IF YOU DON’T LIKE CROWDS, don’t go - Boat ride back, driver had no mercy in that there were big waves. We had been told it would be rough, but not told boat would rip back to pier - if you have a questionable back, you may find yourself in a worse situation. That’s it.
