Explore the island getaway in the Gulf of Thailand on a full-day speed boat tour with Mr. Tu from Koh Samui. Explore Koh Nangyuan off the west coast of Koh Tao with its beautiful viewpoint and famous Japanese Reef Garden. Swim in the dreamlike water with powdery white beaches and visit the peaceful bays with steep cliffs in the east of Koh Tao.
The crew of Mr. Tu will pick you up from the hotel lobby on Samui and bring you to Bang Rak Pier where you will get useful information about the trip. After a light breakfast, you will cruise aboard the convenient speed boat in less than 90 minutes to Koh Nangyuan.
As soon as you arrive on Nangyuan Island, the first thing you will do is hike to the top of the spectacular viewpoint. It takes around 15 minutes to get to the top and we recommend hitting it as early as possible to avoid the crowds.
Besides the viewpoint, you can spend time at the beach where a plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas are available to rent. At noon the beach is pretty crowded, but the fine white sand and the crystal clear water make up for that a bit.
There are a few separate swimming areas on Koh Nangyuan - the Japanese Reef Garden is certainly one of the most impressive snorkel spot. The water is very shallow at the beginning with fine sand. After that it will be a little bit stony because the underground is full of corals, that’s why the water color is so beautiful.
Continue to Koh Tao where you will enjoy a Thai style lunch in Montra Resort near Mae Haad Pier or at Hin Wong Restaurant depending on the tides. Some of the most beautiful beaches dot the east coasts which are difficult to reach on the road. You will make several snorkel stops at Ao Hin Wong and Kluay Thoen Bay (Lighthouse Bay).
With all the exhaustion of the sightseeing, sunbathing and snorkeling, you’ll need to have some refreshments after arrival at the pier on Samui, before returning to your hotel.
