Angthong Marine Park Snorkel & Kayak Tour

Amazing views from the climb up the hill. Take enough water, and take your time. It's a lot of steps in the heat. Time for a swim to cool down at the bottom before heading off on the boat again. Kayaking was short in time but adequate for a taste of it. Snorkeling at the next stop was great. Clear water, lots of different fish. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Water and soft drinks available throughout the trip. Lunch was delicious.

Absolutely superb! The national Park of the Archipelago should absolutely be seen while you are here. It’s an absolute jewel of THAILAND.

Perfect organization with partner Insea speedboat from koh samui, excursion with included pick up from your hotel, after paying they send you for whatsapp all the information due, prices maybe a bit high to be in Thailand.

We took this trip on a day when the sea was not at its flattest, meaning a bumpy ride and a few on the trip struggled with sickness. One angry customer threatened a mutiny and several others on the trip took his cue to be ultra aggressive towards the boat crew when the canopy was left open and we got more than a bit wet! A genuine mistake as we transferred from one spot to the next. But I unacceptable behaviour and quite embarrassing that all this started due to a slight sea swell and the original leader of the mutiny was upset at getting wet, claiming he rides speed boats every week and had never gotten wet, ever!! Not sure I’ve ever met a seamen that’s never gotten wet and is afraid of 1m waves! This led to both my kids being very frightened and scared of the man that rides the dry seas. Anyway, once this tough guy got his little tantrum out the way, we had a lovely trip led by Skye and the team. Ang Thong is a beautiful group of islands and this trip is worth the 1hr trip across the sea from Koh Samui. The islands were a clear inspiration for the Alex Sutherland novel, the Beach, and parts of the islands were used in the movie of the same title - Emerald Lake can be seen from a short hike on this trip. On the main island, I’d also recommend you take the trip to the top viewpoint. It’s an hours walk in total, tough on a hot day but the views are spectacular just make sure to take water.

DREADFUL! To the story: Ever since I can think of Thailand, I have dreamed of this trip. As fate would have it, I got sick before this trip. Better said, I had diarrhoea, so if it had been a cough, a sore throat or anything else, I would have taken part in the trip anyway. However, I had to rely on a toilet and this could not assure me the tour that they had one. (You certainly don't have any, three days earlier I was also on a tour which had no toilet). Because of this, I got up at 5:00 (!!) on the day of departure to take my medicine again, but realized relatively quickly that it does not end. Then I called the organizers that they didn't have to pick me up and shouldn't prepare anything for me. Of course, there was never a call back. Since I have already assumed this, I have sent them everything in writing. THREE hours later (around 8:00 a.m. when the pick-up started) a reply came back from the organizer explaining why I let you know so late. Neither an enquiry into my health, a thanks for getting up early on my part, nor any other nice words were spoken. I've never seen such heartless people! They will not refund me anything, as 500THB per person for breakfast and the reserved seats have already been paid (we were two people). Aha... Breakfast is a tea, a coffee, some banana and apple and with luck a small pastry. It is hard to imagine that this costs over 10€ in Thailand (mind you for ALL boats together on the pier, so about 50 people minimum). Since they have now "spent" 1000THB on the two of us (not even 29€), they will unfortunately not pay me back any money. I paid 120€ and told them IN ADVANCE I would only take back 50% voluntarily. 120€ minus 29€ for breakfast and places would be 90€ where there are left. Unfortunately, the bill doesn't quite work (well, of course it does for the organizer). ZIPPERS without end! I took a screenshot of the text of the organizer and myself for you as proof for all of you! THERE ARE ENOUGH OTHER ORGANIZERS, GO TO THEM!
