Approximately 1hour speedboat journey north-west of Koh Samui, the Angthong Marine Park has stunning scenery and provided the inspiration for the book behind the Leonardo Di Caprio film "The Beach".
The day includes a stop for snorkeling at one of the spots north of the protected area of the marine park, before you enter the park itself where you can admire the beautiful scenery, take a hike up the path to the beautiful Emerald
Lake and for the more energetic you can choose to take a kayak around the islands and through the caves.
The Angthong Marine Park trip is a fantastic day out and a bit more of an Adventure Day than Koh Tao.
Koh Tao is famous for it's crystal clear water and abundance of marine life and is the perfect place for both
snorkelers and scuba divers.
You are taken to one of the beautiful, shallow bays around the island, where you can swim and snorkel in clear calm seas and see a fantastic variety of underwater life. If you are lucky you will get to see one of the turtles that helped give Koh Tao it's name - Koh Tao means "Turtle Island".
After lunch you are usually taken to the beautiful private island of Koh Nangyuan, where you can snorkel in one of the three bays on the island or you can relax on the beach and enjoy a leisurely swim - the choice is yours.
If you enjoy snorkeling but have never tried Scuba Diving and would like to, as about the FREE TRY DIVE.
