Circle Koh Tao by boat, snorkel five scenic bays, hike Koh Nangyuan, spot turtles and sharks, and enjoy lunch for $27.

“Activity was amazing. We loved every stop, and we saw so much wildlife- turtles, sharks, starfish, loads of colorful fish and coral. The go pro was also an added bonus- we were impressed by all the photos/videos taken and shared with us day of. The only downfall we had were the snorkeling masks. Ours kept fogging up and we had to adjust constantly. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely book again!”
