Review of Koh Samui’s Ang Thong cruise, with hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, lunch, practical tips, and honest advice on value and fitness.

“I really enjoyed the trip, well organized, just enough time to do the activities and see the places. Our guide Oto was funny and helpful. The boat was nice. I am usually stressed being on the boat, but the sea was quite calm so the journey was smooth and I enjoyed the views from the boat. They provided very good lunch and water. I have only one negative - the boat was full to the limit and crowded. It would be more comfortable with less people on the trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 2,756 reviews · 8 hours · from $41

Review of Koh Samui’s Angthong Marine Park boat tour, with island hikes, kayaking, snorkeling, meals, transfers, and practical tips.

“Great Tour. you'll first stop at an island with a salt water lagoon. The viewpoint takes maximum 10 minutes to reach by climbing very steep stairs. After this first stop you'll have lunch, which is nothing special but tasty. Then, you'll go to the 'main' island. On there you absolutely should do the 500m hike to the viewpoint up top, if your health allows it. It is absolutely stunning. You will arrive drenched in sweat though - just a heads up. We didn't go to the cave on the island since we wanted to cool off for a while at the beach, which is also quite beautiful. If you really…”

“What an amazing trip. I would do it again was great fun, guides were great fun to and knew who did and didn't want to go fast..... I have need for speed and a few focuses was taken off fast whilst the others were behind. Had lots of guides there to make sure everyone was ok! My daughter didn't like driving the quad and they happily took her quad bike back and she got on mine, nothing was too much trouble for them and the cafe we stopped at was beautiful and amazing. Could not fault it and have already recommended it to other travellers we have met.”

“This was the best value for money we spent on our whole trip to Koh Samui. The guides were lovely, friendly and knowledgable! When the timings say 8 hours they really mean it, we were out all day! We were so, so impressed. The only thing that we didn’t enjoy was that the whole day is outside (including when you’re in the car due to the style of car it is) so we and the other people in our car were really struggling with the sun/heat by hour 7 so a stop off somewhere with some air conditioning would have been so appreciated but besides that the trip really is…”
