Koh Tao: SunSet Magic Snorkeling Day Trip Tao & Nangyuan w/ Meals

Highlights

  • Snorkel 6 stops around Koh Tao and Nang Yuan
  • Vintage wooden boat with sun deck
  • Kayak and paddle board included
  • Buffet lunch and BBQ set dinner onboard
  • Underwater photography service

This trip runs on a vintage wooden boat with a sun deck rather than the fibreglass speedboats most Koh Tao operators use, and it starts and ends on the island itself rather than crossing from Samui. Six snorkel stops fill the nine hours: Koh Nang Yuan, the Japanese Gardens dive site known for its coral variety, Mango Bay, Hin Wong Bay, Aow Leuk, and Shake Bay, where blacktip reef sharks and turtles are the draw.

Every guest gets a new mouthpiece rather than a shared one, and gear covers snorkel and mask plus kayaks and a paddleboard for use between stops. A buffet lunch is served onboard, unlimited soft drinks, coffee, and tea run throughout, and the day wraps with a BBQ set dinner as the boat sits out for sunset. An underwater photography service is included for anyone who wants shots of the reef without bringing their own gear, and at 4.6 from 152 reviews, the day balances four activities — snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and the sunset session — with two full meals built into the price.

Accommodation pickup and drop-off on Koh Tao is covered, and accident insurance and a restroom on board are both included, which matters on a nine-hour day with six water stops. The crew runs the day in Thai and English, and the booking carries instant confirmation with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Group size caps at 15.

Watch out: Alcohol and the Koh Nang Yuan entrance fee aren’t included — bring cash for the island landing.

Itinerary

1

Koh Tao is pretty much the archetype of a remote tropical island, with just enough places to eat, shop and stay to make it comfortable. There are few attractions other than the beautiful beaches. The island is home to some of Thailand’s best coastlines, with pristine white sand, nodding palm trees and glittering blue seas. There are many to choose from, most of which are accessible along the small and rather rough road network. Other than beaches, there are a few very nice viewpoints that are worth seeing, some of which are so iconic that they might even be the first thing you think of when you picture Thailand. Koh Tao is also famous for its diving, which is said to be among the best in the world.

2

(2 Hours) Koh Nangyuan is actually a group of 3 tiny islets off Koh Tao’s northwest coast. You can get to them by Royal Mariblue one day trip. The beach that links the islands together is iconic and probably the most photographed part of the area. Naturally, the small beach. (1 Hours) Japanese Gardens On the incredibly beautiful island of Koh Nang Yuan you will find the amazingly beautiful bay known as Japanese Gardens. So called due to the rich variety of coral and underwater fauna to be found spread over a large bay, here this dive site is the perfect place to either refresh oneself. (1 Hours) Sit back on the boat for and included delicious buffet lunch white overlooking Nangyuan Island and Mango Bay

3

Mango Bay, also called Ao Muong Beach, is an fenomenal beautiful bay in Koh Tao with very good snorkeling opportunities. On both sides of the bay is coral and of course there are colourful fish swimming around. For snorkel lovers Mango Bay is therefore highly recommended! The beautiful beach is on the small side of the bay and is surrounded by lush green hills and boulders.

4

Hin Wong Bay is one of Koh Tao’s top beaches when it comes to snorkeling! At a depth of one meter you already have a chance to see large schools of fish and the water is super clear! You can go with Royal Mariblue. At Hin Wong Bay you can snorkel from different places.

5

Aow Leuk (or Ao Leuk) just has everything you could wish for a wonderful day at the beach! On the sides of the small bay you can snorkel super good. To see the many colorful fish you only have to take 3 steps in the water. It is therefore also suitable for children or the novice snorkeler.

6

(1 Hour) Shake Bay Koh Tao is a popular snorkeling spot for watching blacktip reef sharks and turtles on a tropical island. (1 Hour) Enjoy the fascinating sunsets that are the ones we share with BBQ dinner.
