Amazing holistic experience - Beautiful underwater world, sweaty hikes through the jungle, amazing viewpoints, kayaking, swimming and healthy lunch. We felt well taken care of by the crew members who made sure everyone was feeling allright, got the best photos and didnt leve anything behind. Very recommendable 🤍🙏🏻✨

Recommended - well organized trip to beautiful national park! - Very well organized tour with Oh-Hoo! Very friendly and service-minded staff. Charming English speaking guide. Lovely national park. Nice snorkeling. Especially pleased with unlimited with cold water and that we were rinsed with fresh water after snorkeling. We were extra lucky to see the monkeys in their natural habitat, and that this was not announced in advance. Lunch was fine. The breakfast, however, consisted only of cookies, coffee and tea.

Mixed emotions...Amazing views - Ang Thong is a must see if you are in Samui or the surrounding islands. the place itself is simply stunning, but this review is also about the operator so there are a few good and not so good points. I will simply list them below.
Good Points.
Views from the top of the hill are breathtaking
The Blue Lagoon stop is also very pretty
Lunch was very nice and it was good to eat on shore
Safety is considered
The climb to the top of And Thong is very rewarding and challenging for some :-)
The Not so good points
We chose the speedboat option hoping for a smaller group, but there are at least 60 people crammed onto it and there is virtually no room at all to move about or relax on the boat.Seating is adequate but by no means luxurious.
The Snorkelling spot was very upsetting for me to see , as an experienced diver and regular sea swimmer, I was disgusted at the amount of rubbish on the site, there are plastic bottles EVERYWHERE, in every crevice, floating in the water and just lying around on the rocky shoreline, this really detracted from the day for me, and whilst I appreciate that tourists like myself are to blame for this, I still find it heartbreaking.
As you would expect, it was very very busy at all points we went to apart from our lunch spot.You get virtually no time just to stand/sit and just be..There is a constant stream of people on all sites.
There was a fair bit of waiting around at a very smelly rendezvous point in the morning, this felt unnecessary and we could have arrived 45 mins to an hour later with no problem.
The climb to the top of And Thong is very rewarding and challenging for some :-)
In synopsis, did I enjoy my day? Yes very much, I had my family with me which made it very special, and yes there are some spectacular vistas to be seen, would I rush to do it again? No, if I was to do again, id go low season and on a privet or much smaller tour.

Wonderful day in this stunning Marine park - Wonderful day in this stunning Anthong Marine Park.
Warm and friendly team on the boat and through the day.
To be noted: lot of tourists on the spots, many boats on the same spots at the same time. Particularly during the snorkling session. Point to be improved in harmony with the other boat compagnies. But in overall, a must do day🤩

Great staff but the kayaks we were given sank, TWICE! But other than that it was a good day?! - We had two of the kayaks we were on sink. Literally. We had to put our son on a different kayak and a staff member gave us his. That kayak then took on water and sank. It was a really unfortunate experience on an otherwise great day. My wife and son were quite upset by the fact we capsized in the middle of the ocean. The team worked their asses off and everything else was great, but sending out a family on a faulty kayak is pretty unforgivable, and then having the second one sink as well is negligence. Too bad as it was an otherwise amazing experience.

Average experience - This has the potential to be a good tour, but it just doesn’t hit it yet.
If you book this tour, make sure you are first in line to get undercover seating as the boats are so jam packed that there aren’t enough seats for everyone undercover so you’ll get pushed to the front of the boat seating. This doesn’t sound like much of a deal breaker, but I am so damn white, and no amount of sunscreen was stopping me from getting sunburnt and feeling like I was on the way to heatstroke. No one undercover was willing to alternate seating to share the extreme heat either.
The tour guides never really directed any of the conversation to us out the front of the boat, only to those inside.
You arrive at your first stop which is teaming with so many people because all the boats converge there. It was still really cool though. Snorkelling here you will see some pretty cool fish and it’s a much needed refreshing stop.
Second stop is on an island which is the same problem re amount of people arriving at the same time. I get it, money needs to be made, but if I’d known it would be this packed I wouldn’t have bothered booking.
Lunch island stop is nice. Lunch was good. Again with lack of seating so we found some shade and sat on a rock. Tour guide kept approaching to tell us to sit on a table that clearly could not seat an extra person, let alone 4 extra people.
We travel to the last island which is so busy again, but really beautiful. We get to do 30min of kayaking which wasn’t enough. By the time everyone is out there on the water and finally grouped together, you’ve wasted 10min, and then the guide takes you out for another 10min before turning back. Would be great if you had free rein to do your own kayaking but it’s more a “hold my hand” child’s kayak tour.
By this point we are absolutely destroyed from sitting in the sun all day that we can’t even really explore the island. We had the option of snorkelling again, but hours in the sun had wrecked us. Again, if you get undercover seating for the boat trip, you’ll be fine. But if you’re one of the unlucky ones, you're in for a rough day.
Before the last stop, everyone on the boat needs to take all belongings so they can have a quick clean of the boat. We took this as a reset to seating so we made sure we were front of line for undercover seating on the way back, much to the anger of some other tour goers.

Safety risk without a guide to assist in case of emergency - We are so happy to enjoy a wonderful and relaxing day with your tour but during the Kajak tour my mood changed. My husband and our four children are on the tour and first of all my husband needs to return back in case of health problems. At this time no guide was available or still with us and the boat of my girls starts to sink because of a whole, while my oldest son and my husband are on the way back to the beach. A really dangerous and emergency situation. No reaction to my screaming and whistling. Unbelievably!!! I’m completely alone with three kids at the open sea. Only because my husband informed somebody that we need held someone came over after an unbelievable long time. That’s not really professional and a really safety issue. After the staff recognizes the emergency situation two more came over. I’m completely upset and speechless…that’s not the way the Organisation have to handle it. The men I talk after our arriving to wasn’t helpful at all or even took my complain serious. At least I would have appreciated if we get any compensation and not just an apology. This is not the way my concern should be handled, specially in an emergency situation. Poor service. Hopefully you will take better care of your customers on your next tour.
Best regards

Haphazard organization led to hospital visits - Avoid this tour group, which outsources to the Funny Day tour operator!! At our first stop the speedboat dropped us off at a shallow area for snorkeling without fins, which is a major breach in safety protocol. My boyfriend badly cut the bottom of his foot on coral while snorkeling and we were made to wait 6 hours with the tour group before getting back to Koh Samui to go to a hospital. The boat had no first aid kit aside from antiseptic, which the tour leader proceeded to apply to the cuts with his bare unsanitized hands. Someone else in the group also cut his leg and bloody water swished around on the bottom of the boat afterwards.
Granted, the staff were helpful in bringing us to a basic first aid clinic in Ang Thong National Park whilst waiting to return to Samui, for helping him walk on and off the boat, and for bringing us to the hospital afterwards. Yet, we spent the rest of our trip visiting hospitals to treat and clean the wound every day and had to spend hundreds of dollars on medical care to prevent infection.
To the tour operator: please carry a first aid kit, train your staff on basic first aid, provide snorkeling fins, and give the group an overview of what to expect while snorkeling.
To potential customers: bring fins and first aid if you decide to go with this group! We did see another boat that provided their customers with fins so the extra cost may be worth it.
