Three beautiful snorkeling locations. Beautiful/ various shapes of coral. Lots/colorful fish. Nice viewpoint visited and a fine lunch.
I'll start by saying that the staff were excellent; friendly, clear on timings, and professional. The day consists of 3 stops - 2 snorkeling stops on Koh Tao (you have the buffet lunch at the second stop), and a stop at the island of Nang Yuan. When I did the trip this week, the first snorkeling stop was not overly pleasant, largely because the water had lots of mini jellyfish. Just be wary of this. I know the company can't control this, and I'm not sure if it was just bad luck, but it put me off a bit. That said, the second and third snorkeling spots were incredible (and jellyfish free), and although I didn't see any turtles or baby sharks, I still saw so much marine life. I could have stayed there for hours but we did have long enough at both. The buffet lunch was excellent and plentiful and we had provided drinks (water and coke) on the boat. You can buy beer at a small cost. The main issue though was the 1.5 hour journey each way on the speedboat. Yes, you can't see a lot (except out of the back), but the problem is that the journey is far from smooth and, unfortunately, a number of people were sick on the return journey. For this reason, I wouldn't recommend this trip. It is too far to go and not a pleasant journey on the boat. The engines are incredibly loud preventing any conversation. If you suffer with motion/sea sickness do yourself a favour and avoid this trip. I'm sad to say this because I was really looking forward to it and the staff were all very good, but I want to post my honest review to help others.
Dear customer, Thank you for your review and apologize for any disappointed experience during your trip! With jelly fishes, this time of the year it is the season of them so thank you for your kind understanding that it is from the nature occurred. For the time of journey, Koh Tao is the most faraway destination for the one day trip departs from Koh Samui, so totally agree if anyone does not good on boat riding, this trip is quite a long ride, plus on your traveling period there was windy from the storm effect casing of wavy. However, Koh Tao is the best spots for snorkeling trip in the Gulf of Thailand, so if travelers who don't have the problem on the boat riding and under the calm sea condition, this trip is still highest recommended from the travelers. Best regards, Jiggy
Superb day, the day passed too fast especially in the afternoon compared to the morning. We did some great dives. The people on the boat were very nice.

Dear Nanda Dalewijk, Thank you for your review. We're absolutely delighted to hear you had such a great time with our tour operated and hope to welcome you back again soon. Best regards, Jiggy
It was a perfect trip! We saw everything we wanted to see with an amazing guide, we saw baby sharks, a big turtle lots of fishes and beautiful coral. In addition, they had a nice lunch with a chicken option and a vegan option with rice and pineapple and watermelon in the afternoon. The guide was really kind and enthusiastic, he made nice pictures too!
Enjoyable day, not great weather but nothing you can do about that. Lunch was ok, crew should never eat before the guests. They were seated and eating before guests even came up the stairs. Would have been nice to look around Koh Toa but hard to do when we couldn’t have our shoes! BIG TIP, get earplugs for the boat ride unless you want industrial deafness. Totally ruined the day with 3 very loud boat engines for 3 hours!
Dear Naomi, Thank you for your review and apologize for any disappointed caused on your experience! Unfortunately, during this period starts rainy season, so the weather is on and off and effect to the snorkeling trip. For the shoes mentioned, we are not quite sure which place that you can not have shoes because if for snorkeling we need to protect the corals and sea flowers please. But, if other places with shoes are always fine. Best regards, Jiggy
Beautiful toyr highly recommended Islands were paradise Great buffet lunch Worth going very relaxed not rushed
Fantastic trip. Hotel pickup was right on time. Free breakfast upon arrival. Boat ride to/from islands was great. Crew was exceptional and friendly. Snorkeling was above average. Provide lunch was great.
Good safe snorkelling, lovely islands with fantastic views. Cheap for a trip that takes most of the day, friendly staff.
