Great day, great guides
We had a great day, great organization, pick up, check in, breakfast, tour itself worked out everything well, super nice guides who try to do everything for the Touries, in the off-season we were boat in the best weather with 24 people manned, so everyone had enough space and the drive of 1:20 hours also passed quite quickly, we saw a giant sea turtle and a baby shark as a highlight, the 3. Stop has a beautiful vantage point, one day after the tour we received a link via WhatsApp where you could download photos of the tour for free, so we now have underwater photos of us and the turtle, absolutely top

I’m not up to the places they show
The places are very nice, but too little time to visit them and too many people on the boat without ability to move. Rude and unprofessional staff, more intent on smoking marijuana than anything else. The islands and the reef are to be seen, but not with this mode. Not up to scratch
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you appreciated the beauty of the islands, but we're sorry to hear that the tour didn't meet your expectations. We take your comments seriously and will address the concerns you've raised regarding the timing, boat conditions, and professionalism of the staff. Your experience is important to us, and we will work to ensure future trips are more enjoyable for our guests.

It’s ok, but it’s a long way and I’m not sure it’s worth it.
I was a little disappointed by this trip - whilst all went to plan with no hitches, there isn’t much to get excited about other than the beauty of Koh Nangyuan (if you can look past the tourists swarming all over it!) and our guides weren’t particularly charismatic and didn’t have much interest in answering any queries at all. Snorkelling was very average, lunch was ok but not great and the boat trip there and back takes a long time and there was a very little room as our boat was jam packed. You are below deck so can’t see much so the hour and a half journey goes by very slowly! If you know what to expect and are happy with the setup then it’s a decent day, but don’t go just for the snorkelling ……. you’ll be disappointed.
Response from the operator: Dear Ourarka Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent trip with us. We appreciate your honest feedback, both positive and negative, as it helps us improve our tours for future guests. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't quite meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment with the snorkelling and the crowded nature of Koh Nangyuan. We strive to offer memorable experiences on our tours, and we'll take your feedback regarding the guide's interaction and the boat capacity into serious consideration. We're glad you still found the beauty of Koh Nangyuan enjoyable, and we appreciate you acknowledging that the trip can be enjoyable for those who know what to expect. Thank you again for your feedback. We value your opinion and hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations on a future tour.

Stay away from this scam.
This tour is a scam. They advertise more than 4 stops for snorkeling at different spots on the itinerary, but in reality we stopped just in one spot and stayed there for a short while. The snorkeling equipment provided was old, the masks were very scratched and the glass was in such a bad condition that it was hard to see anything. The snorkeling equipment was also not sterile, we did other tours in Thailand in which the mouth piece for the snorkel was provided sealed in a bag to prove that it was clean and sterile, but this company clearly did not care and provided just old, dirty and malfunctioning equipment.
Response from the operator: Dear Felipe_M Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent tour with us. We're sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. We strive to provide our customers with a positive and enjoyable experience, and we take your feedback very seriously. We will be reviewing your comments with our team and looking for ways to improve our tours in the future. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope that you will give us another chance to show you a better time in the future.

Response from the operator: Dear Harry T Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review! We're glad you enjoyed our snorkeling tour and found the organization and lunch to be good. We're always working to improve our tours, so your feedback is much appreciated. We're happy to hear that you'll be using us again for your next trips. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Koh Samui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Koh Samui is not rushed.
Is Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Koh Samui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Koh Samui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Koh Samui and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip to Koh Nangyuan & Koh Tao by Insea Speedboat from Koh Samui start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Koh Samui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Koh Samui?
+
On Outty we rank every Koh Samui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angthong National Marine Park VIP Small Group Tour, Cooking Class in Koh Samui with Micro Organic Garden, Half Day Elephant Home Sanctuary in Samui. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Koh Samui?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Koh Samui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
