Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Around 07:30 hrs, your driver will be ready to bring you to the speed boat pier for a swift trip to Koh Nang Yuan, a collection of three small islands that are joined together via a sandbank: total peace and the feeling of being in another world. The crystal clear water offers a perfect visibility of the submarine life. Nearly the entire area is mountainous with its highest point reaching over 300 meters, delivering panoramic views of surreal beauty. It is also possible to climb one of the hills to enjoy this and capture a glimpse of nearby Koh Tao.

A Thai set lunch is served on the Koh Tao; within easy reach of Khun Nang Yuan and switching boats to head to snorkeling and diving paradise Koh Tao. After lunch, get ready to board again for one of the island’s bays, where one can swim or snorkel around the boat the afternoon away. The return to Koh Samui is late in the afternoon, leaving paradise behind…

After Koh Tao, the speedboat takes you back to Koh Samui leaving the clear waters behind you. Back at your hotel is scheduled to be around 17:30 hrs.
