SAMUI: Angthong National Marine Park Snorkeling - Sightseeing by Big Boat

Golden Waters of Ang Thong Marine Park Expedition Showcases Thailand’s Island Wilderness

A full day marine adventure is offering travelers an immersive exploration of Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park, a protected archipelago of 42 islands in the Gulf of Thailand. Established in 1980 and covering 102 square kilometers off the coast of Surat Thani Province, the park is recognized as a Ramsar site for its ecological importance and is widely regarded as one of Thailand’s most pristine natural treasures.

The journey begins with a hotel pickup from Koh Samui and a transfer to the pier, where guests enjoy a light breakfast before boarding a speedboat bound for the islands. Early activities include snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, where vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life highlight the park’s rich underwater ecosystem.

The itinerary continues with guided exploration of island trails and viewpoints, including panoramic hikes that reveal sweeping views of the emerald seascape. Visitors may also discover natural formations such as Bua Bok Cave, adding a sense of adventure and geological intrigue to the experience.

Midday brings a buffet lunch served at Koh Wua Talap, followed by time to relax, swim, or enjoy the beach. The afternoon offers additional snorkeling, hiking, or leisure before the return speedboat journey to Koh Samui, concluding a day defined by natural beauty, exploration, and tranquil island landscapes.
