Overview:

Stop at ‘Koh Tan’ (Coral Island) for a 1-hour guided snorkeling tour over a pristine coral reef, then head over to a white-sand beach on ‘Koh Mudsum’ for more unique snorkeling opportunities. After a traditional Thai style picnic we head off to the delightful ‘Koh Rap’ to unwind and chill on the palm fringed beach. Your tour includes all the necessary snorkeling equipment, a delicious picnic lunch and round-trip hotel transportation.

What To Expect: Your full-day snorkeling tour starts with a morning pickup at your hotel and transfer to Thong Krut pier where you step aboard our sleek and modern speedboat. Your ‘Hideaway Islands’ guide provides a safety briefing, mask and fins, and outlines the day's schedule as you cruise for 20 minutes along the southwestern coast of Koh Samui, passing the fishing village of Taling Nam to reach Koh Tan (aka Coral Island). Step off the boat with your snorkeling gear at Koh Tan and follow your guide into the warm tropical waters for an hour of snorkeling over the coral reef. Your guide will lead you through a colorful underwater world of marine beauty populated with a variety of corals, giant clams and schools of tropical fish swimming around the protected reef. After snorkeling at ‘Koh Tan’, return to our speedboat and cruise the short distance over to the island of ‘Koh Mudsum’. Disembark at a secluded beach and enjoy two and a half hours to explore the coastline, swim and relax on the sandy beach. A traditional Thai picnic lunch and liquid refreshments provided by your guide will be served in the shade of the swaying Coconut palms. After lunch we head off to the little known paradise island ‘Koh Rap’ to chill and unwind as the afternoon Sun glints off the azure water and light onshore coastal breezes caress your very soul.
At 3:00pm we return to our point of departure on ‘Koh Samui’ before being transferred by minivan back to your hotel in the late afternoon.
