Itinerary

Duration: 6 hours

  • Stop 1: Hotel pickup on Koh Tao (30 minutes)
  • Stop 2: Meet the boat crews & check in at the pier (30 minutes)
  • Stop 3: Depart from Mae Haad Pier to Nangyuan Island (30 minutes)
  • Stop 4: Climb up to the viewpoint, relax & swim at Nangyuan Island. Free time for snorkeling at Japanese Reef Garden (1 hour)
  • Stop 5: Enjoy vegan or chicken sandwiches and a sweet panda cotta on the boat to recharge the batteries for the last snorkel stop at Tao Thong Bay where you can spot stock horn corals. Head back to Mae Haad Pier where the driver will bring you back to your hotel or from where you can catch the ferry to reach your next destination. (1 hour)
  • Stop 6: Snorkel at Mango Bay or Lighthouse Bay (30 minutes)
  • Stop 7: Snorkel at Hin Wong Bay with colorful fishes (30 minutes)
  • Stop 8: The next stop is at the stunning Aow Leuk Bay which is named for its deep, concave shape as well as the depth of the water which makes it good for snorkelling even at very low tide. With the white sandy beach, a coral reef on both sides of the bay and the water varying shades of blue, Aow Leuk is one of the most popular sites for snorkelling. (30 minutes)
  • Stop 9: On the way to Shark Bay you will pass by Buddha Rock, a group of boulders creating an almost human-like shape and resembles a male in a sitting position. Hin Yaai Mae is the female. Both are believed to be ‘spirit rocks’ and are treated with respect by the local population. Shark Bay is a private bay with a beautiful beach of fine white sand, shaded by tall coconut trees and Pemphis Acidula. It's a quiet place to come and relax, and got its name from the blacktip reef sharks that frequent here. (30 minutes)
