Koh Samui to Angthong Marine Park Cruise Tour By Red Baron Chinese Sailboat

Absolutely gorgeous.. food was yummy, service was superb. Our guide Ella ? ( German lady) was so helpful & informative. A superb 8 hours plus. Highly recommend. Boat is huge, plenty of room for our small group … maybe 30 persons. “ we are sailing” a song hitch suits the sunset journey on return.

Amazing experience. The cruise had beautiful sights. The hikes were extremely steep, but short. The views were amazing. The accommodations were great and the food was delicious. What really set this tour apart from others, was the ships crew and guides. So helpful and joyful to interact with.

This is the experience you want to gently glide thru the islands! The food was amazing & just kept coming throughout the day! The entire crew & especially Ella were wonderful, funny & so kind! We felt very special. This is a day to relax & enjoy the ride!

Pleasantly you glide with the red baron across the water - if you are lucky you will also see dolphins, but certainly plenty of trumpetfish sprinting across the water. The food on board is rich (lunch, breakfast, snack and soft drinks) and they mix (for a fee) really good cocktails! The stops/excursions are well organized and really worth seeing. The highlight for the good mood was the tour guide Ella, who still has the perfect sound for the chilly ride. Really recommended if you want to slow down and like to sail!

Very nice trip and very nice stuff. Would absolutely recommend it! You will not be hungry and you get to see really much of the marine park. Really worth the rime and money.

Very leisurely and elegant trip! We celebrated our birthdays on the Red Baron traditional "Junk" type sailing yacht. (It has a motor but it is gentle). Because we are a little older we don't handle the speed boat well. So having a smooth experience, even if it takes longer is our priority! The tour was handled beautifully. We enjoyed a delicious hot breakfast with eggs, meat, vegetables, fruit, toast, coffee, followed by one of the best lunches we have had on a boat. Chicken curry, tofu vegetables, papaya salad, fried rice, and schnitzel/panko tempura fish. They even provided aperativo with egg rolls, chicken satay, fruit, and a beautiful cocktail of mango and rum. We enjoyed the sunset with more cocktails on the trip back. We saw some of the most spectacular views during this trip to include the blue lagoon, Samui Mae Nam area (where Four Seasons is and David Beckham's home) Ko Wua Ta Lap Beach with white sands and lovely swimming. The sunset was magical. The company on the boat turned out to be just what we needed. And the best part for sure is Ella and her attentive crew. Notes for traveler expectations. We are a little older and live part time in Thailand so I think we have a good perspective. - This is not a speed boat. Therefore the trip out to the Marine Park is 2.5-3 hours as well as the return trip. So make sure to pack everything you need to enjoy the time. I recommend all types of sun protection (hats, towels, blankets, shawl, parasol, sunscreen etc) and anti sea sickness medication if you are at risk of having this! - Check the weather before going. If it has been raining and or windy and you are not adventurous or have boat experience, it will not be fun for you. - Know your limits. You can choose to hike or just relax on the beach. You can even stay on the boat if you prefer and have a nap. Like the Thai say, sabai sabai 🙏☺️⛵

We decided to book a trip with Red Baron to Angthong, while our friends chose the same route via a speedboat, which was half the price. Our journey took over three hours one way, leaving us with very little time on land compared to our friends, who had only one hour to reach their destination and more time to enjoy the marine park. Additionally, they had the opportunity to stop for snorkeling, which was not included in our itinerary. Although the food was good, the lady in charge, Ella, was very rude and unhelpful. Overall, it was a disappointing experience due to high cost, the long travel time, rude staff, terrible background music onboard, and limited time spent on land.

Be prepared for a long day! We got picked up at 8am and made it back to the hotel at around 9pm. It is a long way on the boat to get to the national park - around 3/4 hours and because of this the time at the national park felt very rushed. Our first stop was the viewpoint and you had to choose whether you wanted to hike up to the viewpoint or explore the beach area which was very pretty! They also had wild monkeys on the island! I made it up to the fourth platform, enjoyed the view before rushing down so I could enjoy a swim before heading back to the boat. Lunch was amazing! I'm vegan and they prepared a whole special meal for me. 5 stars for the chef! Unfortunately, straight after lunch we had another stop to see the emerald lake where we only had a maximum of 40 minutes on the island. The hike up takes 20 minutes so again you had to choose between a hike or a swim to cool off. Because this was straight after lunch and the communication wasn't great we didn't know what the plan was and we just ate a ton of food so we decided to enjoy the view from the top of the sun deck instead. The boat is lovely but I don't think it's laid out in the best way for the amount of time you are on the boat. There is not enough shade for everyone, some other boats had shade covering the whole outside deck which would have been lovely. Also some deck chairs on the sun deck would have been a nice touch. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to see the sail in action (was too windy) but we did get to enjoy the beautiful sunset on the way back to Samui. The staff were incredible and so lovely making sure you were okay at all times. The national park was beautiful and I just wish we were able to have more time there to enjoy it!

we were FRAUDED, the company overstates the places for the trip, then asks for a postponement and that's where the contact ends. the matter was reported to Viator for a refund, which replied that because we were on a trip (we weren't), we were not entitled to a refund. so I warn you against wasting your nerves and time.

I can't describe the experience on the Red Baron in words. There are many companies that organize tours to Ang Thong Park but this one is unmatched. The staff are welcoming, the food and drinks delicious, Ella is the perfect host and was able to involve everyone in the activities. I couldn't ask for anything better for this day. Thank you! You were our best discovery in Samui!
