We visit three snorkeling sites over the course of the day which will be chosen by our experienced crew depending on weather conditions to ensure a fun and safe experience. In between snorkelling there is time to relax onboard with cold drinks and fresh fruits. A delicious homemade Thai lunch is served on the boat.

We had a group trip to Koh Tao canceled by another provider—ended up being lucky for us. The team at 100 Degrees East got us in for a private snorkeling adventure that was customized to our family and missed the throngs of people at Koh Tao. We saw more fish than we could count, including rare angel fish, cool sea cucumbers, and a beautiful green turtle who let us watch her swim for quite some time. Along the way we had bumps and bruises and a little upset stomach, but Jeff and Star and the team bandaged us up and got us back out there. Great service and a worth the extra expense from the cattle herd operators taking the same trip.
Best experience with the most professional tour team. The price is on the higher side but not by much when you convert from local currency (what is +$50 more) - you are paying for quality of experience. Visit was full day - pick up was on time but never too early. Relaxed experiences, lots of chill time to balance out the water adventures. Small group, between 8-12 and then you split into smaller groups in the water for a private tour. Absolute professional staff, dedicated to your safety & comfort. Watching our captain outrun a storm to get us back to shore and safety before it hit was very impressive. Always felt well cared for and looked after.
Two teens and two adults went out for a VIP day snorkelling and diving. The boat and equipment were excellent, the crew were awesome and the food was great! There was real team spirit and family feel on board, lots of fun and a chill vibe. We stopped at three seperate sites, according to the very knowledgeable dive master and daily conditions, and there was plenty to enjoy for everyone. If you've shopped around and it all looks bit same-same, then this is the one to book - well worth a bit extra $ for truly VIP experience!
We decided to go diving. We were super guided and felt very safe excavated. Great experience!
Highly recommended. Super organized and all very nice.
We had a fabulous day with 100 Degrees East doing 2 dives in Koh Tao. Cara, the owner, was really accommodating as we were a mixed group of snorkellers and scuba divers. The team was ultra professional with the dive masters having a maximum ratio of 4 diver to 1 dive master and each sub-group had its own briefing. The kit was in v good condition. The coral and marine life was fabulous for both snorkelled and divers and the mini snorkelling trip at the end meant we saw a large turtle. It was a lovely day. Not the cheapest but worth the money.
Competent, friendly care, enough to drink and eat, enough time for snorkeling and diving. Best tour of the holiday. Booking communication relatively extensive and English. Diving guide on site then even German speaking.
I'm legitimately surprised by how well everything went, the owner was very nice and the crew was genuinely super nice and helpful. They made sure we were taken care of in every aspect including picture taking, they've clearly had a ton of practice because the pictures they took with our phones came out perfect. I'm so glad I went with them. I'd recommend them to anyone that wants a great experience and beautiful memorable pictures.
Phew - what can you say here? It was just perfect from start to finish. Staff courteous, helpful and well organized. You have to take care of nothing from the pick up to the return at the hotel, except smear yourself with sunscreen =) We can only recommend this tour to anyone.
You may find cheaper dive trips but this one was definitely worth the money. Their professional approach and attention to detail is evident from the minute you arrive. There were 12 of us snorkelling/diving and 7 crew with us on the boat. Once we arrived at the destination we were split up into groups of 4, each of us with a guide to show us the corals and fish. Our guide was passionate about the corals and fish, showing us things and taking photos for us if they were too far to dive down. He also made sure constantly that we felt safe. We were given a delicious lunch on Kho Tao and then two more opportunities to snorkel before we headed back to Kho Samui. I've been on other snorkel trips in the Maldives, but this was way, way more organised and professional. Bravo Team!
