Koh Tao snorkeling highlights with Koh Nangyuan viewpoint hike, Thai lunch, and stops for turtles and reef sharks. 7 hours, $27.

“Activity was amazing. We loved every stop, and we saw so much wildlife- turtles, sharks, starfish, loads of colorful fish and coral. The go pro was also an added bonus- we were impressed by all the photos/videos taken and shared with us day of. The only downfall we had were the snorkeling masks. Ours kept fogging up and we had to adjust constantly. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely book again!”

Dinner was great and good to try new food. Michael and his crew were all very accommodating. Never seen anything like the bioluminescence - very cool experience!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 1,673 reviews · 4h 30m · from $51

Speedboat snorkeling at Koh Tan and Pig Island at Koh Mudsum, with kayaking, Thai lunch, and hotel pickup.

“Apart from being picked up a little earlier than really necessary (shoved in a bar for 45 minutes before the boat was ready) it was a really great day. The minibus found us fine, the journey down was good, and our guide (young guy) was really great throughout - shout out to him! Waters were a bit murky for snorkelling but we saw a bunch of fish inches away from us and then the pigs were amazing. 7 or 8 little piglets and a bunch of fatties. Food was great too and the drinks on the island aren’t a rip off. A great day :)”

“The day was great! We have seen a lot of nice places and experienced a lot of nice views, finishing with a nice sunset. I would recommend to ask when you arrive at the destinations what are they as the guide didn't explain anything apart from how much time we have at each place which also didn't meet the times at the experience description.”
