Review of Ang Thong Marine Park’s full-day kayak and snorkel tour from Koh Samui, with caves, Emerald Lake, lunch, practical tips, and value advice.
“Boat: The boat was comfortable and we had enough space. It was big enough and the sea was calm for us so it was a smooth ride. Staff: The guides and assistants were all nice and helpful. There were about 50 guests and it felt like an adequate number of staff. Activities: The conditions weren’t ideal for snorkeling but that’s of course not the company’s fault. The kayaking, however, was lovely. There was an opportunity to kayak a second time as well. A highlight for me was climbing to the viewpoint on Wua Ta Lap Island. This is no joke of a hike as it’s 500 meters up steep uneven…”

Review of Koh Samui’s Angthong speedboat tour, with snorkeling, kayaking, Thai lunch, park fees, timing, comfort, and practical booking advice.
“Overall this was a great day trip, and well worth the cost. As others have mentioned, the speed boat ride is definitely bumpy. I tend to get seasick, but I took a preventive Dramamine and did just fine. Snorkeling was the 1st stop, and it was my favorite part! We snorkeled for about 45 mins/1 hour. I was a little disappointed that we wouldn't be able to snorkel again, since the description of this tour reads spend the afternoon sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking... Unfortunately there was no option to snorkel again - when we got to the main island, you had to choose to either kayak or hike to the…”

“What a great day we had...the weather was not the best but the crew did everything they could. Made sure anyone that was sea sick was cared for. The snorkeling was some of the best we have ever done. The tour leader told us where to see the best fish. Unfortunately we couldn’t explore the caves as the tide was too high but again they had a plan b which was still great. Lunch was nice and the breakfast before was fine. Overall we had a great day and would definitely do it again”

I was still talking when they hung up on me. Really pissed at…”
