Our Recommended Itinerary

Full-Day Sunset Tour to the Ang Thong National Marine Park

Pickup & Departure: Our driver will meet your group at your accommodation between 8:30 and 9:15, welcoming you aboard our private transport to Samui’s inner river jetty. Your trip will start with a voyage to the park while savoring delicious appetizers as you explore the magnificent scenery of the Gulf of Thailand; where dolphins and whales make the Marine Park their home.

Optional Kayaking: Our first stop in the Ang Thong Marine Park is also the most remote and magical spot, exclusive to our tour. Go kayaking among the dramatic cliffs, limestone islands, and caves, as well as a secret lagoon. Alternatively, feel free to hop on our dinghy that accompanies the kayaks, or relax on the yacht and take in the views of the islands. 

Snorkeling: Venture out of the park to the Ko Wao islands, considered one of the top 20 snorkeling sites in Thailand. As the only non-speedboat vessel to reach this destination, we can select the optimal site.
Kit up with our professional snorkeling equipment to explore a multitude of marine life and tropical reefs with our professional guide. Non-swimmers and children are welcome to get into our netted floating raft, which allows you to experience the tropical reef from the safety of a raft.[K2] 

Lunch: Enjoy freshly prepared Thai-fusion cuisine, prepared from scratch by our chefs, while you journey through the 42 islands of the park; home to hidden lagoons, spectacular clifftops, and limestone rock formations.

Emerald Lake Island Visit: Transfer from the Dragon to the beach of Koh Mae Koh, where you can relax on the beach or climb through narrow ravines, giving access to a panoramic view of the park's 42 islands. Then, hike down to take a closer look at the hidden lagoon which also acts as a natural nursery for all sorts of marine life. This Blue Lagoon, made popular by Alex Garland’s novel/movie “The Beach”; is widely considered the highlight of the park.  (From 1st November to 15th December you will not visit this attraction and instead, you will be offered additional snorkeling due to partial closure of the park).

Return at Sunset: Cool down with a few drinks, take a dip in the jacuzzi, and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Ang Thong Marine Park and The Five Islands while sailing towards Koh Samui. Take a glimpse back and embrace the inspiring views of the islands as they silhouette off the radiant sunset. Around 18:15 we will transfer you back to your accommodation.
