Full description

Koh Tao is surrounded by clear, shallow bays with coral close to the surface, and this boat trip strings several of the best together. Depending on the conditions you might stop at Mango Bay, Shark Bay or Aow Leuk, swimming among parrotfish, angelfish and, with luck, a turtle.

The highlight is Koh Nang Yuan, three little islands joined by sandbars just off Koh Tao. There is time to swim, snorkel and climb to the viewpoint for the classic view down over the curving beaches.
