Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan Snorkel Day Trip
A long speedboat day to the north, to Koh Tao and the three small islands of Koh Nang Yuan, which are joined by sandbars. The day usually includes two or three snorkelling stops in clear water, a short climb to the viewpoint on Nang Yuan and lunch. The boat ride takes roughly one and a half hours each way and can be rough, so it suits people who do not get seasick easily. Nang Yuan has its own landing fee, usually paid separately.

Questions & answers
Will I get seasick?
The open-sea crossing can be bumpy. If you get seasick easily, take medicine before the trip or choose a shorter trip to the southern islands.
Can I visit Koh Tao by ferry instead?
Yes, scheduled ferries also go to Koh Tao. Our team can help you plan a self-guided day if you prefer.
Is there time to walk on Nang Yuan?
Usually there is time for the viewpoint and the beach. The exact schedule depends on the boat and the weather.
