Other Private Luxury Tours from Koh Samui
Get a private crew take you from Koh Samui to two of Thailand's best snorkeling islands on this full‑day speedboat charter with TourInKohSamui.com. Cruise about 90 minutes to tiny Koh Nang Yuan, where sandbanks connect three small islands and a wooden staircase leads to the classic viewpoint over turquoise water. Later the boat continues to Koh Tao for more reef snorkeling at bays chosen on the day for the best conditions. Because the tour is private, you set the pace.
Chartering privately is only one of two ways to reach these islands from Samui: you can see every Koh Tao day trip from Koh Samui in one place, including the shared Koh Tao & Koh Nang Yuan snorkeling day trip, and compare a private speedboat with your own group against a scheduled departure before you book.
Planning more than one island day out of Samui? The other classic full-day boat run is Ang Thong: our full-day Ang Thong Marine Park big boat tour from Koh Samui covers the 42-island national park with kayaking and the Emerald Lake viewpoint, and pairs well with a Koh Tao snorkeling day on a separate date.
