Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Snorkel Tour via Speedboat from Samui

The company is called Grand Sea Explorers. They are well organized and have top of the line boats. The pickup and drop off was well executed. This particular trip had no reviews at the time I booked, but when we got to the meetup point for the company, there were about 100 people there going out on their boats for the day, so they are obviously a reputable company. The trip was 1.5 hours on the speedboat. There were 30 people on the boat, which, by my understanding, is a more intimate setting than some of the other boats. However, I will admit that it is a little overwhelming with several people screaming in foreign languages, some having excessive public displays of affection, and, since the resurgence of the thong bikini, a lot of bare butts. Even with that, I would still book it again in a heartbeat. Koh Tao is beautiful, and you can’t get there without a boat, so I was happy to be aboard one of their boats. The snorkeling was great. So many cool fish. The young men that run the tour are helpful and entertaining.
