Definitely one to do! You won't regret it! - What a fantastic all-day excursion! Amazing crew! Lovely speed boat and beautiful islands. We were first picked up from our hotel and collected a few others on route to the bay. Breakfast was toast and a hot drink, so I would try and ensure you get a good brekkie in before. The crew was excellent at commanding your attention to talk about the trip and give lots of important information for health and safety and about preserving the islands. A good emphasis on no litter or plastic bottles and protecting the coral. Sea sickness tablets were also offered which i thought was a great idea for those who may need it! We then made our way to our numbered boat and the speed boat journey began...again picking up some more passengers on route but the this was no issue as being on the open waters with the sun blazing and lovely breeze was beautiful. We arrived at our first stop off Koh Tao for a bit of snorkeling. Would recommend wearing the life jackets even if a strong swimmer as the water was a bit choppy but beautiful all the same. Next stop for lunch which was sufficient and there was also another canteen there where you could pay to get more menu options. Keep-sake photo taken which are pretry cool so dont forget to take some cash with you. Next stop Koh Nang Yuan - picture postcard! Amazing snorkelling. Marine life....stunning. Nuff said! Go and discover!!! Definitely value for money. Couldn't have been organised by a better team! Thank you for a wonderful day out! Truly memorable!

Excellent Tour Because of their Excellent Staff. - OK, these islands are already beautiful and worth visiting, visiting these islands you will already have an amazing day. But what really sets this tour apart is the staff. They are excellent, friendly, and very helpful. They take VERY good care of you and make sure your day goes well. They truly go the extra mile anticipating what you need before asking. We had a wonderful day exploring these islands, it was like walking into a postcard. We would definitely do this again, or go on one of their other tours. Highly recommended. Just GO.

Great services by Mr Tu team - I book the tour online, under koh samui tour, when arrive i saw their shirt and boat named Mr Tu. Maybe same team. So the journey was fun, there were 3 snorkeling spot, 2 look out point and 1 lunch. Everything went well, they arrived at my hotel for pick as according to promised schedule. Boat departs around 10am, journey took about 1 and half hours, we were told, the return back journey will be bumpy, the morning ride was ok, not so bumpy. Arrive in Koh Tao, for snorkeling and there is a look out point, where you can climb and take picture, it has wooden stairs and deck. Next was snorkeling in Koh Nguyen area, coral was deep, so snorkeling was easy without damaging the corals. Next was lunch at Koh Tao, they took us to a resort, which was nice, lunch buffet was nice, food was delicious, they also serve ice cream. Then next to Koh Nguyen, where we spend 2 and half hours, the boatman asked me to hike to the look out point first before snorkeling, so that what i did, it was 150 meters hike, and when you reach the top, there was no deck, just rocks, so you have to make way for people to go up and down, and take turn to take pictures. But the hike was worth it, the view was spectacular. Then you can snorkel around the island. Then back to Koh Samui. When arrive they serve watermelon, in the boat, they provide cold drinking water and also carbonated drinks. So overall, i satisfied with their service. If you ask me, next is the Anh Thong Marine park.

Great Day had by All - We really enjoyed the trip. The briefing session was clear, the trip very well organised, and the tour guides and crew all helpful and friendly. We have an 8 and 11 year old (that are confident swimmers) that thoroughly enjoyed the snorkeling and we were all amazed at the vibrant sea life. The first site was a little overcrowded, but swim a little further out and there were less people and more to see. The food was ok, there was something for everyone and the scenery beautiful. Would definitely recommend, thank you Mr Tu and team for a great day out!

Wonderful day trip - We booked this trip whilst on Ko Samui as we had read that Ko Tao would provide the snorkelling opportunity that we desired. Whilst the day would have been resoundingly perfect in every respect, it receives only the ‘good’ rating above because of a few niggles that could be easily rectified with better organisation from the Mr Tu management. We had received a text notification that we would be collected from our hotel at 08:00-08:10 hours, but and because we were not ready by the 07:45 hours which is when the driver turned up, he became quite arrogant and threatened to leave us, despite the fact that we were ready in the bus by 08:10 hrs. He calmed down however when he saw the text, so I suspect that the correct pick-up time had not been relayed to him. We were transported to the Mr Tu pier where hoards of other tourists were waiting. We had a briefing that was very difficult to follow in the commotion and multiple languages over a speaker phone whilst being offered a light breakfast snack. Entrance tickets for the Ko Nang Yaun Island were purchased for 100THB each and then we set off in speed boats for a very bumpy but fun trip. Our captain and crew were very helpful, friendly and offered snorkelling tips throughout the day. We had 2 stops round Ko Tao for the snorkelling which was utterly amazing: we saw innumerable beautiful fish and the coral was the most alive and vibrant in colour that I had ever seen. We then had a delicious 3 course buffet lunch and were then transported to the final stop on Koh Nang Yuan. I would urge tourists to beware of the small Koh Nang Yuan bar where we were ripped off for coffee by a very loud screaming and rude woman who would not see reason why the hot coffee we purchased for 70THB should really cost the same as the cold coffee that we also wanted, but that she was demanding 300THB for. The menu listed a ‘latte’ at 300THB which we had not requested. There was no-one in the bar that could speak English or willing to assist as they were more interested in getting through the queue of tourists than to resolve the problem. There was insufficient time to enjoy the views from the top of Koh Nang Yuan because of the huge queues wanting to take photos up there, and then we were all whisked to the boats for the 45-minute journey back the main land of Ko Samui. I would normally have ended this review by saying that overall it was an exhilarating day trip out and if we had had a little longer at the last stop, it would have been well worth the cost because at the mainland we were then made to wait an additional 45 minutes because the bus was completely hemmed in by other buses that would not move to allow ours to pass. Our driver tried to sort this out but appeared helpless to do anything. I felt quite sorry for our driver because other foreign tourists were less forgiving and kept shouting at him to get going or out the air conditioning, when really they ought to have spoken to the management about this disarray rather than giving him such a hard time.

Nice Trip - We took the speedboat from Koh Samui pier. The staff on the boat was very friendly and provided us the snorkelling equipment. The only downside was that the time to visit Koh Nangyuan was too short considering the amount of people that were reaching the top of the island to take breathtaking photos. The tour agency was extremely punctual to respond to any request. Highly recommended.

Not a Great Tour - It was worth taking the trip for a walk on Nang Yuan Island but the service was terrible. It consisted of barking instructions at the guests army style by a semi-literate Burmese guide in semi-intelligible English. I felt like a part of a herd, not a tourist group. The whole trip consists of a 1.5hr visit to Nang Yuan, a brief lunch on Koh Tao (even though bait-and-switch style, the trip is marketed as a visit to Koh Tao), and then snorkeling, snorkeling and again snorkeling - yes, 3 times, while people not interested in the activity had to sit on the hot boat as the snorkeling sites were off shore. I do not understand why these cannot be 2 separate trips - one for those who want to visit Nang Yuan and Koh Tao, and one for the diehard fans of snorkeling. There is a separate fee to set foot on Nang Yuan island collected in cash before the start of the trip. On the way back there was something wrong with the boat so it had to stop mid-sea twice until the crew got things right. This company has no idea what customer service is and it's employees are not very well trained - and this is what creates the unpleasant experience. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be a lot of competition to encourage them to do better.

Horrible scam - I DONT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL!!!! We booked this for today, we received our tickets and a message saying we were getting picked up at our resort. Today morning we waited at the lobby for about 2 hours, we tried calling the numbers provided and got no reply. We message and got no answer, we emailed and still got nothing. This is very disappointing and ridiculous to have to wait that long and not even get a message or a courtesy call back. We dont know if we even got charge for this, i hope not ! Because this is unacceptable!
