      Pass by without stopping

    2. Our first stop in the Ang Thong Marine Park archipelago is also the most remote and magical spot, exclusive to our tour. Go for a guided sea kayaking tour along the coastline to explore the dramatic cliffs, limestone islands, caves, magical tunnels, as well as a secret lagoon. Alternatively, hop on our dinghy that accompanies the kayaks.

      60 minutes here

    3. Sail north beyond the Marine Park waters, to Koh Wao, where you will find the best snorkeling sites.

      Pass by without stopping

    4. Sailing further north we will reach the Ko Wao island group, which offers some of the best sites to explore the vibrant tropical reef. It's considered one of the top 20 snorkeling sites in Thailand. We're the only non-speedboat vessel to reach this destination. We'll select the optimal site depending on conditions, to ensure you have the best underwater journey possible. After a short safety briefing, our crew will fit you with complete snorkeling gear, and take you on a guided underwater tour, to see some amazing marine life. Non-swimmers and young children are welcome to get into our netted floating raft, which allows you to see the tropical reef from the safety of a raft.

      60 minutes here

    5. We head back to the marine park and will pass Ko Lao Yu to enjoy the scenery. At this point, we will offer you a delicious buffet lunch while you journey along Ang Thong park`s most interesting limestone islands, which rise from the sea as dramatic rock cliffs and bizarre rock formations.

      Pass by without stopping

    6. Koh Thong Thaeng is one of the bigger islands in the Marine Park, and a beauty to behold.

      Pass by without stopping

    9. Ko Mae Ko is where you will find the famous "Blue Lagoon", the inspiration for Alex Garland's book and later movie, "The Beach". Also known as the "Emerald Lake", locals call it "Talay Nai", which means "inside sea" and it is widely considered the highlight of the Ang Thong Marine Park. We are the last boat allowed to visit Ko Mae Ko, which means that we do not meet other organized tours.

      15 minutes here

    10. Blue Lagoon Emerald Lake

      Here you can decide to climb up to the viewpoint or relax on the secluded beach. Climb up the steep stairs along narrow ravines to reach a panoramic view of the Park's 42 islands. Once we've reached the top, you will venture to the other side to take a closer look at the hidden saltwater lake completely enclosed, which besides its beauty, also acts as a natural nursery for all sorts of marine life.

      45 minutes here · Admission not included

    11. Ko Wua Ta Lap

      As we head back to Ko Samui, we will also pass Ko Wua Talap, the Marine Park headquarters.

      Pass by without stopping

    12. Cruise past Phaluai Island, one of the few inhabited islands in the Ang Thong Marine Park, home to a small community of "sea gypsy" fishermen, which are the original people that settled in the Samui archipelago. Enjoy the scenic cruise back to Ko Samui, cool down with a few drinks and a banana split on the deck, or take a dip in our jacuzzi. On most days you will embrace wonderful views of the sunset that will remain with you for a lifetime.

    Don't hesitate. Book the trip!

    Absolutely incredible from start to finish. The boat itself was beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean, and the whole trip was so well organised that we could simply sit back and enjoy every second of it. The crew were exceptional. Friendly, attentive and genuinely brilliant throughout the entire day. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble and they made an already amazing experience even better. The food was another highlight. Absolutely delicious, plentiful and far better than I ever expected from food served on a boat trip! The snorkelling and sea kayaking were both amazing and easily two of our favourite parts of the day. Getting out on the water and actually exploring rather than just seeing everything from the boat made the experience even more special. And then there were the views. Honestly, photos don't do them justice. Every stop seemed somehow more spectacular than the last and some of the scenery was genuinely breathtaking. It was easily one of the highlights of our holiday and worth every penny. If you're considering booking this trip, do it. I genuinely couldn't recommend it highly enough. We'd go again in a heartbeat.

    beautiful day

    For me, there was nothing that needed improvement. The food was wonderful, and the staff repeatedly checked on the guests' well-being and offered drinks, etc. We had an amazing day today and will cherish this experience forever. Thank you to the wonderful crew for the excellent care, your great sense of humor, your kindness, and your willingness to help. You truly made this day unforgettable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful review! It means a lot to hear that there was nothing you felt needed improvement and, most importantly, that this is an experience you’ll cherish forever. We’ll make sure your lovely comments about the crew’s kindness, sense of humor, and willingness to help are shared with the whole team. Our crew is delighted to provide a warm, attentive, professional service to ensure every guest is safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We’re especially happy that you noticed the little things, such as regularly checking that everyone was comfortable and making sure drinks were always available. We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the food. We pay great attention to dining during our tours. Our chefs prepare all of the food during the tour from scratch, sourcing local ingredients to provide our guests with fresh and delicious food. For us, dining is an important part of the overall experience, not simply something served along the way. Our Blue Dragon was custom-designed to provide maximum comfort for a full-day cruise — with shaded seating, soft cushions, and plenty of space to stretch out or socialize. Combined with personal service, fun activities, and time to relax between them, our aim is to make the journey itself as enjoyable as the beautiful destinations we visit. Thank you again for spending your day with us. Knowing that our crew helped turn a beautiful day in Ang Thong into an unforgettable memory is the best feedback we could ask for! Aom

    Worth Every Baht! The Best Way to Experience Ang Thong

    We had the most amazing day exploring Ang Thong Marine Park with Ko Samui Boat Charter. The seven of us privately chartered the Blue Dragon and it was worth every single baht! Tu (our guide) and the whole crew were exceptional and so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble and they made the experience feel really personal. The itinerary was fantastic. We kayaked around stunning islands, even stopping at a secluded beach for photos, snorkelled in peaceful spots away from the crowds with beautiful coral and plenty of tropical fish, before climbing up to the breathtaking Emerald Lagoon. The food deserves a special mention too. Both breakfast and lunch were freshly prepared on board and was genuinely some of the best food we had on any excursion. We’d actually visited Ang Thong on a large group tour last year, so we have something to compare it to. This private charter was on another level. Being able to avoid the crowds, set a more relaxed pace and enjoy such personalised service completely transformed the experience. We saw the same incredible scenery, but it felt so much more special. If your budget allows, we can’t recommend a private charter highly enough. It was one of the highlights of our holiday and created memories we’ll never forget. Thank you to Tu and the whole team!

    Response from the operator: Dear Katy, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to explore Ang Thong Marine Park aboard the Blue Dragon with your family and friends. It was a pleasure to welcome all seven of you on board, and we're delighted to hear that your private charter became one of the highlights of your holiday. A special thank you for your kind words about Tu and our crew. Our team has many years of experience working with visitors to Koh Samui and is dedicated to delivering an amazing experience from the moment you step aboard until you're back at your accommodation. We'll be sure to pass your compliments on to them. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed our itinerary. Our tours are carefully timed to avoid the peak hours when most other boats arrive, allowing our guests to enjoy the Marine Park's most scenic locations with fewer people around. We believe that combining crowd-free locations, personalised service, and a relaxed pace transforms a beautiful day into a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you also for mentioning the food. We pay great attention to dining during our tours, with our chefs preparing every meal from scratch on board using fresh local ingredients. We're delighted to hear that both breakfast and lunch were among the best meals you enjoyed during your holiday. As you've experienced both a large group tour and a private charter, your comparison means even more to us. Our goal has always been to offer a relaxed, premium experience where guests can enjoy luxury sailing, delicious food, fun activities away from large group tours, and genuine interaction with our crew. Thank you once again for your heartfelt recommendation. We hope to welcome you back aboard the Blue Dragon for another unforgettable day in paradise. Aom

    The Best Tour We Did in Koh Samui!

    Fantastic day from start to finish! Everything was superbly organised, and we felt well looked after throughout the entire trip. The luxury minivan pickup was excellent comfortable, punctual and a great start to the day. The food was delicious and the team made sure everyone was having a great time. They also took plenty of photos throughout the day, including while we were snorkelling, so we could simply relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about taking pictures ourselves. A special thank you to Guide Two, Monkey Man and the whole team for their friendliness, professionalism and sense of humour. The frozen margarita and ice cream at the end were the perfect finishing touch and were very much appreciated after a fantastic day. Highly recommended, we would definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

We believe that great food and drinks are an essential part of creating an outstanding all-round experience. We're so pleased you appreciated the photos taken throughout the day. We love capturing those special moments so our guests can simply relax, enjoy the activities, and take home wonderful memories. And of course, no Blue Dragon adventure would be complete without our signature frozen margaritas and ice cream while cruising home! Thank you once again for your kind recommendation. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable day exploring Ang Thong Marine Park. Aom

    Great day trip for snorkeling lovers

    We spent excellent day with amazing crew and chef on this boat and snorkeling trip. The crew provided us with great snorkeling equipments, we had fantastic lunch on board and had a lot of fun on the way. We were also lucky enough to see dolphins and a lot of colorful fish.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable day aboard the Blue Dragon. It means a great deal to our crew and onboard chef to know they helped make your trip so memorable. We're especially pleased that you enjoyed the snorkeling, our freshly prepared lunch, and the quality of the equipment we provide. We believe that great food, attentive service, and a relaxed atmosphere are just as important as the beautiful destinations we visit. Seeing dolphins is always a magical and unforgettable moment, and we're so happy you were lucky enough to experience that, along with the colorful marine life of Ang Thong Marine Park. Thank you again for choosing to sail with us. We hope to welcome you back aboard the Blue Dragon for another unforgettable adventure the next time you're in Koh Samui! Aom

    Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.

    How much does Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $49500 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 Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 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 Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 228 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Koh Samui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park?

    +

    Around 80 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full-Day Blue Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park 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.
