Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Tour

It’s hard to imagine a trip to Samui without visiting the world-famous islands of Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan, often listed among the most beautiful islands on the planet. Your adventure begins on a comfortable speedboat that will take you straight to your first stop, Koh Tao. Here, you’ll dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand and discover an amazing variety of marine life.

Koh Tao is known as the top diving destination in Thailand, and even snorkeling here feels like entering another world. With a mask and snorkel, you’ll float above vibrant coral reefs while schools of colorful fish glide around you. After enjoying the underwater scenery, the boat will bring you to Koh Tao for a delicious buffet lunch featuring classic Thai dishes and fresh tropical fruits.

Koh Nang Yuan

Koh Nang Yuan consists of three small islands connected by a stunning natural sandbar over 50 meters long. The waters surrounding Nang Yuan are so crystal clear that you can often see large fish swimming right from the pier.

After lunch on Koh Tao, the speedboat will take you to Koh Nang Yuan, where you can relax on the soft white sand and swim in the turquoise water. Don’t forget your camera, as the panoramic views from the sandbar and the hills are some of the most photographed in all of Thailand.

One of the highlights of Nang Yuan is the beautiful bay known as Japanese Gardens, located right across from Twins and separated only by the sandbar connecting the two peaks of the island. It is the perfect snorkeling spot for beginners. Calm water, bright corals, schools of sergeant fish, and groupers create a truly magical atmosphere. If you're lucky, you might even encounter Koh Tao’s beloved symbol, a sea turtle gliding gracefully below the surface. After snorkeling, you’ll have time to relax on the white sandy beach, soak up the sun, and recharge before your journey back to Samui, where a comfortable minibus will bring you directly to your hotel.
