Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Your adventure begins with a hassle-free pickup from your hotel on Koh Samui. Sit back and relax as you're driven to the pier, where your crew and speedboat are ready to go.

Hop aboard and feel the excitement build as you cruise across the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand. In about an hour, you’ll reach the stunning Angthong Marine Park—an untouched cluster of 42 islands that feels like Thailand’s best-kept secret.

Arrive at Koh Wau Ta Lap and hop in the water for a relaxed snorkeling session. You'll have time to explore the coral reefs and spot colorful fish swimming below the surface. If snorkeling isn’t your thing, feel free to hang out on the beach and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Next, take a short hike up to the viewpoint overlooking the Emerald Lake, a striking saltwater lagoon tucked between limestone cliffs. The view from the top is one of the highlights of the day. If you’d rather stay at sea level, you can grab a kayak and paddle along the coastline, taking in the island’s quiet beauty from the water.

After a short ride, arrive at Koh Wua Ta Lap—also known as Sleeping Cow Island. Here you’ll have the chance to hike up to a well-known viewpoint that offers one of the best views in the park. From the top, you can see all 42 islands stretching out across the water, so don’t forget your camera. Once back down, enjoy a tasty Thai buffet lunch served right by the beach. After lunch, you’re free to snorkel, kayak, take a swim, or just relax on the sand and soak it all in.

Around 3:00 PM, it’s time to say goodbye to the islands. The speedboat ride back to Koh Samui takes about an hour, giving you one last chance to take in the beautiful seascape. Keep your eyes on the water—if you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins or even a whale along the way.

Stop 7

Once we’re back at the pier, your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel. No need to worry about a thing—just sit back and enjoy the ride after a full day of adventure.
