Angthong Marine Park Tour From Samui by Tourboat
Discover Thailand’s island paradise with this unforgettable Angthong Marine Park Tour from Koh Samui by Tourboat. Join Phuket Travel Store for a full-day adventure across one of the most breathtaking archipelagos in the Gulf of Thailand, where emerald lagoons, limestone cliffs, and turquoise waters create a dreamlike landscape.
Comfortable Journey to Angthong National Marine Park
Your day begins with a convenient hotel pick-up by minivan and transfer to the pier. From here, you will board a spacious and comfortable tourboat bound for Angthong National Marine Park, a protected area made up of 42 small islands covering more than 100 square kilometers. During the relaxing cruise, enjoy morning coffee and the sea breeze as you glide past remote islets, dramatic rock formations, and hidden coves — a photographer’s paradise.
Established in 1980, Angthong National Marine Park is Thailand’s second marine park and one of its most spectacular. Its name means “Golden Bowl,” and when you see the lush green islands rising sharply from the blue sea, you’ll understand why. The park is home to a variety of wildlife including sea turtles, herons, dusky leaf monkeys, and colorful reef fish.
Snorkeling in Crystal-Clear Waters
The first stop of the day takes you to a protected snorkeling area in the northern part of the park, where vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish await beneath the surface. You will have around 45 minutes to snorkel and explore this underwater paradise. Look out for angelfish, parrotfish, and schools of butterflyfish as you float effortlessly over the coral gardens.
This is the perfect opportunity to experience the peaceful rhythm of the ocean and the rich biodiversity that makes Angthong Marine Park one of Thailand’s top eco-tourism destinations.
Kayaking Adventure at Koh Sam Sao
After snorkeling, the boat continues to Koh Sam Sao, one of the park’s most beautiful islands. Here you can swap your snorkel mask for a kayak and paddle along the towering limestone cliffs. Glide beneath overhanging rocks and through narrow sea passages where nature’s artistry is on full display.
If you prefer a slower pace, simply relax on the soft sandy beach, take a swim in the crystal-clear water, or soak in the sun. The tranquil atmosphere makes this stop a favorite among visitors who seek both adventure and relaxation.
Visit the Famous Emerald Lagoon (Talay Nai)
Next, your tourboat heads to Koh Mae Koh (Mother Island) — home to the stunning Emerald Lagoon, also known as Talay Nai. A short but steep climb of around 150 steps rewards you with an unforgettable view over this enclosed saltwater lake surrounded by towering limestone walls. The lagoon’s emerald-green water shimmers in the sunlight, offering one of the most iconic views in all of Angthong Marine Park.
After taking in the view and capturing incredible photos, enjoy a delicious Thai buffet lunch served on the island. Savor authentic Thai flavors as you dine in the middle of paradise, surrounded by panoramic sea views and lush tropical greenery.
Relaxation and Exploration on Koh Wua Talap
The afternoon brings you to Koh Wua Talap, the main island and headquarters of the marine park. Its fine white-sand beach and clear turquoise waters invite you to unwind and enjoy some free time — swim, sunbathe, or simply relax under the coconut palms.
For those with a bit of adventure left, hike up to the 500-meter viewpoint, one of the most photographed spots in southern Thailand. From the top, you’ll see the full sweep of Angthong’s 42 islands, scattered like jewels across the sea.
Alternatively, explore Bua Boke Cave, filled with fascinating stalactites and stalagmites, or watch for the dusky leaf monkeys that often appear in the trees during the afternoon.
A Perfect Day in Paradise
As the day draws to an end, enjoy a peaceful return journey aboard the tourboat, soaking in the views of the Gulf of Thailand. Back on Koh Samui, your driver will take you safely to your hotel — ending a truly unforgettable day in Angthong Marine Park.
