Good tour, helpful staff, be prepared for lpng durations on the speedboat and if seasick go upfront - Would totally recommend this tour. We were treated to toast, coffee, juice for breakfast then a talk to where we were going then onto our speedboat. It was very well organised and there were quite a few people also. It takes around 1 hour 40 to the first stop so bear it in mind it’s a very very long day on a speedboat. We snorkelled here it was fantastic as we were the only boat, saw lots of gorgeous fish and lovely coral. No turtles or rays though. After this onto Koh Tao for lunch which again was lovely & organised. We had a little wander around Kho Tao but I wasn’t impressed yes it’s a ferry port but still I personally wouldn’t want to stay there. Anyway after this we headed to the second stop with the sand bar along the beach. It was impressive and not too busy here. I decided to climb the rock there is a nice path till you get to the stairs. It’s a lot of very narrow steps and it’s very tiring if you are unfit lol. Once I got near the top I had to queue, my advice is don’t go barefoot or even flip flops as you have to climb large rocks t get to the top, wasn’t easy but did it. This is the reason for the queue as everyone wants there selfie on top of the rock looking down so it’s very busy up there. It’s very impressive and well worth the climb, to get back down it’s basically holding onto trees and rocks t get down to the level where the steps are. It took me 45 mins total from bottom to top due to the queue. The beach is stunning and the water is so clear. The marine park does not allow any plastic bottles or water shoes here. They will ask you for your water and on the boat we were told not to wear water shoes however I did see two people with them on. After our lovely time at the beach we headed back. We were at the front of the speedboat to get fresh air as I found it too busy inside and hot and you basically can’t look out any window. Upfront on the speedboat it’s very bumpy but we knew this. The engines cut out literally 40 mins from Samui all caused by fishing lines. We honestly didn’t think we would make it back as it kept over heating on one engine but after 30 mins we were on our way a little later and as I say a very long day but really great fun. The staff were really lovely and helpful and always had lovely cold drinks ready. Would totally recommend this trip was worth the money.

While the speedboat ride from Koh samui to Koh Tao is long and can be quite bumpy, the snorkeling is excellent - The water in Koh Tao is very clear and packed with fish. The private island has a cove called the Japanese garden which has a great variety of different fish and of really perfect for beginners because it's quite shallow and calm. The second snooker spot was much deeper, he called it the lighthouse and at the end of my time I saw a ray at the bottom as well as a pack of small sand sharks . I also saw barracudas and lots of other species. The coral was very vibrant too!

Good trip hungry tummie - The trip and stops were good , the meal terrible none of us like currey so we did not take any , the spaghetti had a strange taste maybe kurkuma ? The omellets were soaked in oil .They had white rice verry dry in lumps , and still fried chicken but there was so little we had exactly 3,pieces (my daughter had none she went to the toillet first none left. From all my yeahrs travelling to Samui my worst meal .My 17 yeahr old was hungry since he has a good apetite , also swimming gives a good apetite verry disapointing !
