Featured Experience


Without a doubt, one of the most special moments is when you finally see a majestic turtle swimming freely. A magical moment that seems to stop time and reminds you how incredible it is to share the sea with these creatures. Although they don't always show themselves — because they are wild animals — when they do, the experience becomes unforgettable and makes snorkelling truly unique.

"Respect the environment, do not chase or stress the turtles, and they will thank you."


We carefully select the best snorkelling spots according to the conditions of the day, although as these are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Even so, the chances are high and the experience is always worth it.


Itinerary

07:30 - 08:30 Morning Pick-up

  • Pick-up will be from your accommodation. The exact time will depend on the location of your accommodation and the number of participants. As this is a group tour, we kindly ask for punctuality and understanding, as slight delays may occur due to traffic or other circumstances along the route.

Heading Towards the Gulf's Jewel

  • Feel the excitement aboard our speedboat as we cruise through turquoise waters on an exhilarating journey to the paradise island of Koh Tao, Thailand's diving mecca.

Exploring Koh Tao's Underwater World

  • We'll arrive at a carefully selected snorkelling spot in the famous waters of Koh Tao. Here, you'll dive into an incredibly beautiful natural aquarium, exploring vibrant coral reefs and swimming alongside an amazing diversity of marine life until midday.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TURTLE SIGHTINGS

  • We select the best snorkelling spots according to weather conditions and sea conditions. Even so, turtle sightings cannot be guaranteed. It is very common for some participants in the same group to see them while others do not. The probability is extremely high, but sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Traditional Thai Lunch

  • After our morning of underwater exploration, we'll recharge with a delicious and authentic Thai lunch, a well-deserved break to refuel before our next stop.

Nang Yuan: The Eden of Three Islands

  • We'll disembark on the stunning island of Koh Nang Yuan, a place of unique beauty. Relax on the iconic white-sand strip connecting its three small peaks, swim in its calm turquoise waters or explore its coral reefs. Don't miss the opportunity to climb to its famous viewpoint and capture one of Thailand's most photographed and spectacular panoramic views.

Return to Koh Samui

Responsible Snorkelling

Let’s Protect the Marine Treasure of the Gulf of Thailand

We invite you to enjoy its reefs and marine life with respect. This ecosystem is fragile and depends on all of us to preserve it.

Avoid touching or standing on corals, as they are living organisms that are highly sensitive. Observe the fish without chasing them or disturbing their natural behaviour.

Do not collect shells or natural elements, as they are part of the ecosystem’s balance.

Whenever possible, use biodegradable sunscreen to help protect the reefs.

Small actions can make a big difference. Taking care of this environment is the best way to continue enjoying it today and in the future.
