    Koh Nangyuan and koh Tao Snorklelling day trip from koh samui

    We had a fantastic day trip to Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan! 🌴🐠 The trip included hotel pick-up and drop-off from Chaweng, which made everything really convenient. Breakfast and lunch were also included, which was a lovely bonus. We enjoyed around 1.5 hours of snorkelling in Koh Tao, where we got to admire the beautiful underwater world. We also visited Japanese Gardens, which was a highlight, with amazing marine life and crystal-clear water. We then had around 2.5 hours of free time on the stunning island of Koh Nang Yuan. We had plenty of time to relax, explore, enjoy the incredible scenery, and take some beautiful photos. The views were absolutely breathtaking! 📸🌊 Overall, it was a wonderful day filled with snorkelling, beautiful beaches, and unforgettable scenery. Everything was well organised, and having transport and meals included made the experience even better. Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Koh Samui who wants to explore the beautiful islands of Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan! 💙🏝️

    Good value, below average snorkeling

    Snorkeling spots in Koh Tao are a bit deceiving and below average in Southeast Asia. Lots of dead coral. Pickup ride was confusing and nobody had time to eat the « free breakfast » before boarding the speedboat. However, very good buffet for lunch and good value tour, with several bottles of water offered and nice staff.

    Response from the operator: Dear Pierre-Olivier Leroux, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the buffet lunch and our staff's service. Regarding the condition of the coral, we are sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations. Recently, we have been experiencing windy conditions and a high volume of tourists, which can unfortunately impact the health of the coral reefs. We always encourage all of our guests to follow our guides' instructions—especially regarding not stepping on the coral to help us protect the environment. We appreciate your feedback to improve our service for future customers. Best regards, Faii - Smile Samui Team

    Great day out. Beautiful snorkelling experience

    Prompt pick up in air conditioned mini van. Well organised tour. Full boat of passengers. Beautiful snorkelling experience with attentive and helpful crew. Tour ran to schedule and on time. Lunch was ok. Very crowded at second island Nangyan Resort Island. Snorkelling not as good but water at the beach was beautiful. Overall enjoyable day.

    Response from the operator: Dear Lilian Musca, Thank you for your time to leave us a review! Feedback like yours is meaningful to us. We will definitely share your words with our team to keep them motivated. We look forward to welcoming you to Koh Samui again! Best regards, Faii - Smile Samui Team

    Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bophut usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Bophut is not rushed.

    Is Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 359 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bophut, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat?

    +

    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 Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat?

    +

    Around 126 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 Bophut 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 Bophut and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat 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 Bophut 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 Bophut?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bophut experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 6 Hours Elephant Care and Jungle Tour by 4WD in Koh Samui, Cooking Class by Samui Native Instructor Geng and O Family, Semi-Private yacht adventure to Ang Thong Park’s hidden treasures. 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 Bophut?

    +

    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 Bophut?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat?

    +

    Included: Drinking water; Use of Snorkeling equipment; English Speaking Guide; Lunch; and Travel Insurance, Life jacket, First-aid kit. Not included: Admission fee to Koh Nang Yuan (Adult: THB 250/ person, Child: THB 120/ person); and Beach chairs and umbrellas at Koh Nang Yuan. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 349 listed pickup locations in and around Bophut. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Thai, Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat?

    +

    Is Snorkeling Tour Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan from Samui by Speedboat wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
