We had a really fun day at Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan! The weather was absolutely perfect. Lots of fun activities and we can also enjoy a relaxing time on the beach we didn’t feel rushed at all. A few things to consider tho, we rode speedboat to the islands for 1h30mins in total. The speedboat itself is clean and decent, but I’m a bit prone to sea sick so I kinda feel nauseous whenever the big wave hit. I had a few snorkeling trips before this one w other travel agent, we used speed catamaran and was definitely more convenient when travelling through the open ocean. Another thing to consider, they gave me snorkeling mask but it would be better if you bring your own. The guide and crew were fun but weren’t too engaging, also itinerary could be a bit better, maybe add Tanote Bay to the list? Overall it was really good and worth adding to the list when you’re visiting Koh Samui.

The guides were very friendly, which made it especially nice. I experienced snorkeling for the first time and wanted to visit Nangyuan Island, and I had a great time.

Incredible experience. The company itself was very well organised and everyone was friendly. Our tour guide Dreem was very funny and knowledgeable of each spot. We were lucky enough to see multiple sharks and turtles as well as the general snorkeling on top.
