Full-Day Trip to Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan from Koh Samui by Speedboat

I would NOT recommend this trip to anyone!!! This boat trip round the islands, has left me in agony! Driving through the sea in stormy conditions causing the boat to bump up and down for over an hour on the return journey has resulted in a neck strain. This along with the actual tour (not sufficient time snorkelling or kayaking and too much time on a beach with no shade) did not make for a pleasant trip! The food at lunch was adequate although disappointing that there was no fresh fish served. The tour guides were nice enough but no consideration for people’s well being was given when driving through a rainstorm on the way to lunch (35 minutes) or the 70 minute trip back to shore. As I said, I’ve been awake all night, dreading the flight home having been left with a severely sore back and neck! The details say that it’s not suitable for people with back injuries. I didn’t have any back issues BEGORE this trip!

It was worth taking the trip for a walk on Nang Yuan Island but the service was terrible. It consisted of barking instructions at the guests army style by a semi-literate Burmese guide in semi-intelligible English. I felt like a part of a herd, not a tourist group. The whole trip consists of a 1.5hr visit to Nang Yuan, a brief lunch on Koh Tao (even though bait-and-switch style, the trip is marketed as a visit to Koh Tao), and then snorkeling, snorkeling and again snorkeling - yes, 3 times, while people not interested in the activity had to sit on the hot boat as the snorkeling sites were off shore. I do not understand why these cannot be 2 separate trips - one for those who want to visit Nang Yuan and Koh Tao, and one for the diehard fans of snorkeling. There is a separate fee to set foot on Nang Yuan island collected in cash before the start of the trip. On the way back there was something wrong with the boat so it had to stop mid-sea twice until the crew got things right. This company has no idea what customer service is and it's employees are not very well trained - and this is what creates the unpleasant experience. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a lot of competition to encourage them to do better.

Good wave. Excellent guides and crew. Epic underwater world. That's the only way to sum up this mind-blowing speedboat and snorkeling adventure!

What a fantastic all-day excursion! Amazing crew! Lovely speed boat and beautiful islands. We were first picked up from our hotel and collected a few others on route to the bay. Breakfast was toast and a hot drink, so I would try and ensure you get a good brekkie in before. The crew was excellent at commanding your attention to talk about the trip and give lots of important information for health and safety and about preserving the islands. A good emphasis on no litter or plastic bottles and protecting the coral. Sea sickness tablets were also offered which i thought was a great idea for those who may need it! We then made our way to our numbered boat and the speed boat journey began...again picking up some more passengers on route but the this was no issue as being on the open waters with the sun blazing and lovely breeze was beautiful. We arrived at our first stop off Koh Tao for a bit of snorkeling. Would recommend wearing the life jackets even if a strong swimmer as the water was a bit choppy but beautiful all the same. Next stop for lunch which was sufficient and there was also another canteen there where you could pay to get more menu options. Keep-sake photo taken which are pretry cool so dont forget to take some cash with you. Next stop Koh Nang Yuan - picture postcard! Amazing snorkelling. Marine life....stunning. Nuff said! Go and discover!!! Definitely value for money. Couldn't have been organised by a better team! Thank you for a wonderful day out! Truly memorable!

OK, these islands are already beautiful and worth visiting, visiting these islands you will already have an amazing day. But what really sets this tour apart is the staff. They are excellent, friendly, and very helpful. They take VERY good care of you and make sure your day goes well. They truly go the extra mile anticipating what you need before asking. We had a wonderful day exploring these islands, it was like walking into a postcard. We would definitely do this again, or go on one of their other tours. Highly recommended. Just GO.

I book the tour online, under koh samui tour, when arrive i saw their shirt and boat named Mr Tu. Maybe same team. So the journey was fun, there were 3 snorkeling spot, 2 look out point and 1 lunch. Everything went well, they arrived at my hotel for pick as according to promised schedule. Boat departs around 10am, journey took about 1 and half hours, we were told, the return back journey will be bumpy, the morning ride was ok, not so bumpy. Arrive in Koh Tao, for snorkeling and there is a look out point, where you can climb and take picture, it has wooden stairs and deck. Next was snorkeling in Koh Nguyen area, coral was deep, so snorkeling was easy without damaging the corals. Next was lunch at Koh Tao, they took us to a resort, which was nice, lunch buffet was nice, food was delicious, they also serve ice cream. Then next to Koh Nguyen, where we spend 2 and half hours, the boatman asked me to hike to the look out point first before snorkeling, so that what i did, it was 150 meters hike, and when you reach the top, there was no deck, just rocks, so you have to make way for people to go up and down, and take turn to take pictures. But the hike was worth it, the view was spectacular. Then you can snorkel around the island. Then back to Koh Samui. When arrive they serve watermelon, in the boat, they provide cold drinking water and also carbonated drinks. So overall, i satisfied with their service. If you ask me, next is the Anh Thong Marine park.

It's a really great tour, with photos in your googles that you're finding yourself in, and I would definitely recommend

It's worth the visit but here it is very short!! Privileged the 2nd island for the landscape. Snorkeling activities are to be expected! If you have your equipment bring back coaches says Thailand says consumer sale

I DONT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL!!!! We booked this for today, we received our tickets and a message saying we were getting picked up at our resort. Today morning we waited at the lobby for about 2 hours, we tried calling the numbers provided and got no reply. We message and got no answer, we emailed and still got nothing. This is very disappointing and ridiculous to have to wait that long and not even get a message or a courtesy call back. We dont know if we even got charge for this, i hope not ! Because this is unacceptable!

We really enjoyed the trip. The briefing session was clear, the trip very well organised, and the tour guides and crew all helpful and friendly. We have an 8 and 11 year old (that are confident swimmers) that thoroughly enjoyed the snorkeling and we were all amazed at the vibrant sea life. The first site was a little overcrowded, but swim a little further out and there were less people and more to see. The food was ok, there was something for everyone and the scenery beautiful. Would definitely recommend, thank you Mr Tu and team for a great day out!
