Angthong Marine Park Tour From Samui by Speedboat

Discover one of Thailand’s most breathtaking natural treasures with the Angthong Marine Park Tour from Koh Samui by Speedboat, operated by Phuket Travel Store. This full-day island-hopping adventure takes you across a spectacular archipelago of 42 limestone islands, where emerald lagoons, hidden beaches, and dramatic cliffs await. Whether you love snorkeling, sightseeing, or simply relaxing in paradise, this is one of the most unforgettable day trips from Koh Samui.

Explore Thailand’s Second National Marine Park

The Angthong National Marine Park covers an area of around 250 square kilometers, located about 45 km northwest of Koh Samui. It was declared Thailand’s second national park and remains one of the most picturesque regions in the Gulf of Thailand. The park features four main forest types — dry evergreen, beach, limestone, and mangrove — that create a rich habitat for wildlife, birds, and marine species.

As you cruise through the sparkling turquoise waters, you’ll see fascinating rock formations, mysterious caves, and towering limestone peaks that rise dramatically from the sea. Each island has its own unique charm, from secret lagoons to deserted beaches, making Angthong a true tropical wonderland.

Snorkeling in Crystal-Clear Waters

After your morning hotel pick-up by air-conditioned minivan, you’ll head to the pier for check-in and a light breakfast before boarding the high-speed boat. The journey to Angthong takes about an hour, offering beautiful sea views along the way.

Your first stop is usually Koh Wao, one of the best snorkeling spots in the marine park. The calm, shallow water is perfect for exploring colorful coral reefs and spotting tropical fish. If you’re lucky, you may even see a sea turtle gliding gracefully beneath the surface. Snorkeling equipment and life jackets are provided, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy the underwater beauty.

Kayaking Adventure at Koh Sam Sao

Next, the speedboat continues to the nearby island of Koh Sam Sao, known for its majestic limestone cliffs and natural rock arches. Here, you swap your snorkel mask for a kayak and paddle along the dramatic coastline, gliding beneath overhanging rocks and through sea caves shaped by centuries of erosion.

The kayaking experience offers a new perspective of Angthong’s beauty — quiet, intimate, and incredibly scenic. For those who prefer to relax, you can stay on the island to swim, sunbathe, or simply unwind on the beach surrounded by turquoise water.

This stop perfectly combines adventure and tranquility, making it one of the highlights of the tour.

Visit the Famous Emerald Lagoon – Talay Nai

One of the highlights of this tour is the visit to Koh Mae Koh, home to the stunning Emerald Lagoon (known locally as Talay Nai). This hidden saltwater lake is completely enclosed by cliffs and shines in a deep shade of jade green.

A short climb of around 150 steps takes you to the viewpoint, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the lagoon below and the surrounding islands. It’s one of the most photographed locations in southern Thailand and a must-see attraction for nature lovers.

Buffet Lunch and Relaxation on Koh Wua Talap

After exploring Koh Mae Koh, enjoy a delicious Thai buffet lunch on the beach — complete with authentic dishes, fresh fruit, and drinks. Then, your speedboat continues to Koh Wua Talap, the headquarters of the marine park.

Here, you can spend your afternoon exactly how you wish:

• Relax on the white-sand beach and swim in clear blue water.
• Climb to the viewpoint (500 meters) for one of the most breathtaking vistas in Thailand.
• Visit the Bua Boke Cave, an impressive limestone cavern with stalactites and stalagmites.
• Spot the playful leaf monkeys that inhabit the trees near the ranger station.
