Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao Snorkel Adventure

We had expected a bit more from this tour. The whole thing was a soulless mass tourism event. The snorkeling spots were completely overcrowded and it felt like Munich's Stachus during rush hour. Not very nice. The underwater world is very beautiful, but unfortunately also very damaged, which is very sad. The ride in the speedboat was like being in an overcrowded school bus. On the return trip, we ran into a storm and rain, for which the organizer is of course not to blame, but it just didn't exactly make the tour any better. Speedboat riding is only for people who don't have problems with getting seasick and is also not recommended for people who are prone to migraines or have back/neck problems.

If you get motion sick, DO NOT BOOK THIS. The 90 minute boat ride to Koh Tao was no joke. On the way back, our drivers drove us through a storm and people actually fell out of their seats because the waves were so insane. However, the snorkeling was really beautiful and we saw baby sharks. If you think I’m exaggerating on the boat ride I’m not. If anything I’m underexaggerating.

This trip was horrendous and dangerous. The boat was shabby and the life jacket smelt of stale vomit. It has to be one of the worst boat trips I have been on . It was like sitting at a bus

We had a wonderful snorkeling experience. My father had an unfortunate mishap on 30th Dec while getting off the speed boat at Koh Samui on return leg of our snorkelling outing. He misjudged while getting off from the boat onto the pier and fell injuring his shoulder and groin. The pain was intense and he had to be helped to reach the office area of boat company. The staff there were extremely helpful and immediately called an ambulance which came within 7-8 minutes, left along with Mr Tu who came with us to provide help and assistance at the hospital. He stayed with us right through the documentation, first aid and Xray till the dislocated rt shoulder joint was reset by the Doctor after giving me sedation and painkillers. Since our boat journey ticket covered insurance, Mr Tu told us that they would cover the treatment expenses of approx 11000 Bath incurred at the hospital, and we did not have to pay anything. Mr Tu left only after seeing us off when we left by taxi to our place of stay at Koh Samui. His confident demeanor, reassuring presence and managing the Thai language interactions with the hospital staff were a big help to us in this crisis situation in a foreign land. We are extremely grateful to him. Suggestion - Would have been nice if our boat had transparent glass panels as against covered, we could have enjoyed the sea views. Plus they should be extra careful with the elderly people.

Terrible speedboat trip – Dec 9, 2025 Our boat broke down, had to be changed in unexpected port. Seas were rough, which was not indicated by captain or tour guide before the trip. Very bumpy ride took 2.5 hours instead of 1.5. Around 30% of passengers vomited by the end of prolonged 2,5hours and who managed to do not, could be sure s/he was sitting close to the person who did. Due to speed boat issues our program was changed and we had very little time at Koh Nang Yuang. When we asked about a oartial refund, the guide dismissed us that office is far and he can not do anything. Staff were kind, but overall this was a stressful, overpriced experience for family (6,500 THB). ⚠️ Not recommended to use this company especially for families or elderly, although other age groups were also affected.
