Thailand · KAYAK TOURS IN KOH SAMUI
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 6 kayak tours in Koh Samui worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
9-hour Koh Samui cruise in Ang Thong National Park, with optional kayaking to Tum Rang, snorkeling, and a hike to the Blue Lagoon.
“I liked the hike and the beach at that island. Maybe it would be better to not eat lunch on the boat, because it was very crowded and hard to eat in peace.”
Koh Samui speedboat to Ang Thong: snorkeling, Emerald Lake views, 42-island viewpoint hike, kayaking, and beach lunch.
“Driver was on time and efficient. Orientation breakfast was about as sparse as can be - toast and coffee - so eat beforehand or bring snacks. There were a lot of guests but everything was well organized and ran smoothly. The tour guide (Thon?) was the highlight. He was funny, informative, helpful and made sure we all stayed hydrated. Lunch was pretty good - honestly, better than I expected. We had an epic day and saw amazing sights. One of the highlights of our trip.”
Full-day Ang Thong Marine Park kayaking and snorkeling from Koh Samui, with caves, Emerald Lake views, and a Thai buffet lunch.
“Boat: The boat was comfortable and we had enough space. It was big enough and the sea was calm for us so it was a smooth ride. Staff: The guides and assistants were all nice and helpful. There were about 50 guests and it felt like an adequate number of staff. Activities: The conditions weren’t ideal for snorkeling but that’s of course not the company’s fault. The kayaking, however, was lovely. There was an opportunity to kayak a second time as well. A highlight for me was climbing to the viewpoint on Wua Ta Lap Island. This is no joke of a hike as it’s 500 meters up steep uneven…”
Speedboat day from Koh Phangan to Ang Thong: snorkeling, Emerald Lake views, a 42-island hike, and kayaking plus beach buffet lunch.
“The BEST day! Everything was perfect, could not fault the trip or the staff who made it great. Highly recommend!”
Full-day Koh Samui Angthong Marine Park speedboat tour with snorkeling, sea-cave kayaking, and Wua Talap’s 200-step Emerald Lake views.
“Very touristic, guide didn't speak good English and explained almost nothing. The Kayak was ridiculous (not even 1.5 km), basically just meant to say "done". Same for the hikes, the guide says the most strenuous one is 500 mt D+ but my Garmin is not of the same opinion... all in all, very rushed, very touristic, the weather was awful and we went anyway. Simply put, a good way to ruin a natural paradise.”
A 6-hour speedboat trip from Koh Samui to Koh Tan snorkeling spots and Koh Madsum kayaking and beach time, with lunch included.
“Not what I expected. It was expensive for what it was.”
