Good trip hungry tummie
The trip and stops were good , the meal terrible none of us like currey so we did not take any , the spaghetti had a strange taste maybe kurkuma ? The omellets were soaked in oil .They had white rice verry dry in lumps , and still fried chicken but there was so little we had exactly 3,pieces (my daughter had none she went to the toillet first none left. From all my yeahrs travelling to Samui my worst meal .My 17 yeahr old was hungry since he has a good apetite , also swimming gives a good apetite verry disapointing !

Good tour, helpful staff, be prepared for lpng durations on the speedboat and if seasick go upfront
Would totally recommend this tour. We were treated to toast, coffee, juice for breakfast then a talk to where we were going then onto our speedboat. It was very well organised and there were quite a few people also. It takes around 1 hour 40 to the first stop so bear it in mind it’s a very very long day on a speedboat. We snorkelled here it was fantastic as we were the only boat, saw lots of gorgeous fish and lovely coral. No turtles or rays though. After this onto Koh Tao for lunch which again was lovely & organised. We had a little wander around Kho Tao but I wasn’t impressed yes it’s a ferry port but still I personally wouldn’t want to stay there. Anyway after this we headed to the second stop with the sand bar along the beach. It was impressive and not too busy here. I decided to climb the rock there is a nice path till you get to the stairs. It’s a lot of very narrow steps and it’s very tiring if you are unfit lol. Once I got near the top I had to queue, my advice is don’t go barefoot or even flip flops as you have to climb large rocks t get to the top, wasn’t easy but did it. This is the reason for the queue as everyone wants there selfie on top of the rock looking down so it’s very busy up there. It’s very impressive and well worth the climb, to get back down it’s basically holding onto trees and rocks t get down to the level where the steps are. It took me 45 mins total from bottom to top due to the queue. The beach is stunning and the water is so clear. The marine park does not allow any plastic bottles or water shoes here. They will ask you for your water and on the boat we were told not to wear water shoes however I did see two people with them on. After our lovely time at the beach we headed back. We were at the front of the speedboat to get fresh air as I found it too busy inside and hot and you basically can’t look out any window. Upfront on the speedboat it’s very bumpy but we knew this. The engines cut out literally 40 mins from Samui all caused by fishing lines. We honestly didn’t think we would make it back as it kept over heating on one engine but after 30 mins we were on our way a little later and as I say a very long day but really great fun. The staff were really lovely and helpful and always had lovely cold drinks ready. Would totally recommend this trip was worth the money.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour, from the well-organized start with breakfast to the beautiful snorkeling, stunning beaches, and impressive climb with those unforgettable views. It’s great to know you found the staff friendly and helpful throughout the day. We also appreciate your honest tips about the climb, footwear, and the long but rewarding journey on the speedboat — this will be very useful for future travelers. We’re glad everything worked out even with the small hiccup on the return, and that you still had a fantastic time overall. Thank you for recommending us — we’d love to welcome you back for another adventure!

While the speedboat ride from Koh samui to Koh Tao is long and can be quite bumpy, the snorkeling is excellent
The water in Koh Tao is very clear and packed with fish. The private island has a cove called the Japanese garden which has a great variety of different fish and of really perfect for beginners because it's quite shallow and calm. The second snooker spot was much deeper, he called it the lighthouse and at the end of my time I saw a ray at the bottom as well as a pack of small sand sharks . I also saw barracudas and lots of other species. The coral was very vibrant too!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! Koh Tao truly sounds amazing with its crystal-clear water and rich marine life. The Japanese Garden cove seems perfect for beginners, while the deeper Lighthouse spot must have been so exciting with rays, sand sharks, barracudas, and vibrant coral. We’re glad you had such a memorable snorkeling adventure!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip?
+
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 From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Samui: Ko Tao and Koh Nang Yuan Speedboat Day Trip 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.
