Stunning views - Absolutely stunning views. Comfortable boat and tasty food. The snorkelling was OK at best but the kayaking was a fun add on.

Fantastic customer service and a beautiful tour of Ang Thong! - We had a little hiccup with drivers picking us up from our hotel but Viatour sorted everything out an we were able to take this day trip the following day. Their customer service was excellent and they sorted everything out for us. As for Ang Thong National Marine Park, this is a must for anyone visiting Koh Samui! It’s the most beautiful place on earth: the monkey were so beautiful and the kayaking was really worth doing. We loved our time here and will definitely return!

Excursion okay - snorkeling tour absolutely not - We booked the tour on the recommendation of our hotel, as according to the hotel it is the best and most reliable provider. The organization and process was also very comfortable and uncomplicated. Breakfast was very meager and lunch was good Now to the actual topic: We had asked about a snorkeling tour in advance. Here too, the said tour was recommended to us by Highsea and the WhatsApp contact told us that whales and sometimes manta rays could be seen. What did we get when we arrived? A completely murky section of beach where you MUST snorkel. Absolutely nothing to see and the water is a maximum of 1m deep, so you have to be constantly careful not to get caught on any rocks. When asked whether you can go out a little further in a longtail boat, even if you pay, the only answer was the following excuse: "that's not possible because there are other boats in the waters" (no other boats to be seen anywhere) Arrival and departure now take hours on the boat (unfortunately nobody tells you that beforehand) and the general schedule is only announced beforehand. Basically, the tour is a nice trip if you want to go to the national park or the 2 viewpoints you're visiting, but it has absolutely nothing to do with a snorkeling tour, and that should be taken into account. After speaking to some passengers, Ko Tao is also a much better choice for snorkeling.
