Description

An early departure by join-in high-speed catamaran from Koh Samui allows for a headstart to explore the paradise islands Koh Nang Yuan and Koh Tao. After arriving at the destination, a private local longtail boat is available to take the guests to beautiful bays and idyllic islands to enjoy the views, relax, and explore the vibrant underwater world. A visit to Koh Nang Yuan, a group of three islands that are connected by strips of white sandy beaches, is an iconic stop that cannot be missed. But there are plenty of other hidden bays and scenic spots where it is worth it to stop and enjoy the beauty, both above and under the water. A delicious local lunch is served on board the boat. At the end of the afternoon, it is time to return to Koh Samui with plenty of new memories.
