Unmissable views with a fab company - Excellent day out in Ang Thong national park. From pick up to drop off we were well looked after by the team. Everything was punctual, and communication beforehand and during the trip was clear and quick. The trip includes snorkeling, kayaking AND two hikes (a lot of tours only offer kayaking OR hikes). Even though the weather forecast was poor and it rained that morning, the weather quickly cleared up and we had a very smooth ride on the speedboat. There were about 30 people on our tour, with 3 other tours leaving from the same pier at the same time. We were picked up on time from our hotel, and dropped off quickly. Once at the pier, a breakfast of instant coffee, tea, rice porridge, bananas and fried snacks were served warm. There was a standing selling waterproof phone cases and water shoes (highly recommend a waterproof case, water shoes optional though some beaches are rocky). We got on the boat around 9am and it took about an hour to get to the snorkeling spot. There were 5 other similarly sized boats with us in the snorkel area, but it didn't feel too busy and the staff from Mr. Tu's boat kept a close watch on everyone. Keep in mind - the coral comes up quite high in places, but you should NOT stand on it! Water shoes will stop you from injury but if you can't float/swim the whole time, just jump in with tour life jacket on (most people do). Great views and water clarity. It took about 5 mins to ride to the second destination, to climb the stairs to the blue lagoon viewing points. Stunning views, stairs are very steep the whole way, very doable though. Nice beach at the bottom waiting for you to cool off. 3rd destination was Koh Sam Sao, where we had lunch and kayaking. Lunch was a good selection of rice, noodles, chicken, chicken curry and veggie alternatives. Kayaking is with life jackets only, very nice and calm water. You can also spend some time at the beach here (nice but rocky deeper in, bring water shoes or be prepared to swim rather than walk around in the water). Last stop was the Koh Wua Ta Lap hike and beach. Absolutely stunning views from the top, photos really don't do it justice. Be prepared though, it's a steep hike through trees! It's shaded until the last few minutes of the hike but it is incredibly hot. There are ropes to hold onto but the stairs are uneven and slippery in places (everything among the trees is wet). Some people climbed it in flip flops - I'd recommend trainers for better grip. There are 4 viewing point stops along the way to get photos and rest in the shade on a bench. We saw a few monkeys closer to the bottom and none at the top, but keep a close eye out! Overall, would highly recommend the trip and the company. The team were amazing and helpful, providing cold water and cola throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt safe with them. Amazing views and a bargain price for the whole day outing.

Perfect Day Trip - Would highly recommend this day trip! Very well organised, great staff, good lunch and lots of time at each destination. Had lots of fun snorkelling, kayaking, swimming and hiking. Only thing to note would be the 2 walks we did up to look outs were very steep and challenging (but worth it and optional).

A great day out with a very professional company. - Everything was extremely well run with minimal hanging around. Our group leader who called us all “My team” was great fun but also professional as were the rest of the crew. While the snorkelling was rather crowded and underwhelming, the kayaking and views from the hills were fantastic. The lunch was delicious and there was more than enough for everyone. They provided water / cola at every opportunity keeping us fully hydrated at all times. Overall a great day out.

The boat trip to do from Koh Samui - Really well organised trip - after booking through Tripadvisor, I instantly got messages from the operator to confirm details. Pickup from hotel was on time, and check in for the tour with Mr Tu was easy, breakfast available whilst waiting for departure. The crew were excellent, explaining all the stops, and handing out as much free water and Coke as people wanted. Snorkeling- plenty to see, calm water Kayaking - my tip would be it's easier on your own than trying to balance with another person on the kayak Lunch - food was really good and plenty of it Blue Lagoon - lots of steep steps to the top viewpoint, but there are two lower viewpoints which still give good views without as many steps We didn't do the hike on the last island to the view of the whole park, but stayed on the beach where we saw a couple of monkeys. Added bonuses were sightings of a pink dolphin and a whale during the boat ride. I haven't said anything about the islands themselves as if you are looking at going, you will know they are worth seeing. One thing worth noting is that the speedboats like Mr Tu dock at jetties on the island so getting on or off is quick, whereas the larger boats dock in the bay and passengers transfer by smaller boats. There's nothing negative about the trip to mention - well worth the price we paid.

Beautiful packed day of activities- lovely boat team! - The pickup was on time and smooth, comfortable ride. The boat team was fantastic! So friendly and kind, and took great care of us- always making sure we had cold water throughout the day. It is a packed day, you’ll be napping on the ride back to Samui, but it was the best money I’ve spent so far on my trip. Stunning views and amazing memories. ขอบคุณ Mr. Tu boat 88 team!

Very crowded but worth it for the views - The boat was very crowded and seats not very roomy. Crew were really nice though. First stop for snorkelling was a bit average, over 100 people crammed into a little bay. Next 2 stops were pretty good. Great lunch. Final stop was really cool, hike to the top well worth it for the amazing view.
