What to Expect on the Angthong Marine Park Day Trip
An active day with more stops and less travel time than the big-boat economy tour. Expect bumpy sections on the speedboat when the sea is choppy; this tour is not suitable for pregnant guests, babies, or people with serious back/neck issues. Enjoy clear-water snorkeling (conditions vary by season) with coral, reef fish and impressive rock formations. Short but steep hikes to panoramic viewpoints and the Emerald Lagoon; expect stairs, uneven paths and hot weather. A mix of structured activities (snorkel, kayak, hike) and free time to swim or relax on the beach.

Can I snorkel and kayak on this tour?

Is this tour suitable for children?
Yes. Children are welcome. Life jackets are provided for all ages and the snorkeling areas are calm and shallow.

Yes. A Thai buffet lunch is served along with drinking water and soft drinks.
How long does it take to reach Angthong by speedboat?
The speedboat reaches Angthong Marine Park in approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour from Koh Samui, depending on sea conditions.
When is Angthong Marine Park open?
The park is open roughly from late December through October. It typically closes from 1 November to 23 December due to monsoon season.
Where does this tour depart from?
Hotel pickup is included from all major areas on Koh Samui including Chaweng, Lamai, Bophut, Maenam, and Nathon. The exact departure pier is shared on your voucher after booking.
What is Ang Thong Marine Park in Koh Samui?
Ang Thong Marine Park (Mu Ko Ang Thong) is a protected archipelago of 42 limestone islands spread across about 102 square kilometres in the Gulf of Thailand, roughly 30 km west of Koh Samui. It is known for dramatic karst cliffs, the Emerald Lagoon (Thale Nai) on Koh Mae Koh, the panoramic viewpoint on Koh Wua Talap, and calm snorkeling reefs. There is no bridge — the park is reached only by boat from Koh Samui, and this VIP speedboat trip visits the lagoon, viewpoint and snorkeling stops in a single day. The park usually closes each year from 1 November to 23 December during the monsoon season.
Free hotel pickup is included from most areas. If your hotel is in Bang Po, Nathon, Lipa Noi, Lipa Yai, Butterfly Garden, Taling Ngam or Phang Ka, an extra transfer of ฿300 per person applies.
Other Angthong Marine Park Tours from Koh Samui
Discover Mu Ko Angthong Marine Park in a smaller, faster group on this VIP speedboat day trip with TourInKohSamui.com. The speedboat cuts down travel time so you can focus on snorkeling, kayaking, hiking to viewpoints and visiting the Emerald Lagoon instead of just cruising. Group sizes are kept lower than standard big‑boat tours, giving you more space and a more personal feel while still sharing the cost with other guests.
Prefer to stay closer to Koh Samui? Compare it with our Koh Samui snorkeling day trip to Koh Tan & Pig Island, a shorter half-day option with coral reefs and calm, shallow snorkeling bays. Want a full day of island hopping instead? Compare our big-boat Ang Thong island hopping tour from Koh Samui, a relaxed 8–9 hour cruise to the Emerald Lagoon, island viewpoints and a snorkeling stop with Thai lunch served on board.
Want the clearest water in the Gulf instead of the marine park? Our Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan snorkeling day trip by speedboat crosses about 65 km of open sea to Koh Tao's reef sites, with at least two snorkeling sessions, the three-sandbar beach and viewpoint hike on Koh Nang Yuan, and hotel pickup between 07:30 and 08:30.
