Your day-by-day itinerary
Arrival on Ko Tao Island
Today you’ll arrive on Ko Tao Island, easily reachable by ferry from both Ko Samui and Ko Pha Ngan. You’ll stay in a resort close to the pier but on a quiet stretch of beach. The boutique resort offers views across the turquoise sea from their terraced restaurant and colourful bungalows. There’s also a pool for a cooling dip!

Snorkelling Trip
Today you’ll discover why Ko Tao is famous for it’s bright coral reefs and colourful fish. You’ll be collected from your hotel for your day trip to the best snorkelling spots on the island. You’ll stop for a picnic lunch at Hin Wong Bay before journeying to the North of the Island for some more snorkelling. In the afternoon you’ll visit the tiny island of Koh Nang Yuan and climb up to the viewpoint in the centre. At the end of your trip you’ll be dropped off at the harbour and from here make your own way back to your hotel.

Free Time & Departure
Today is free for you to do as you please. You might decide to spend your time relaxing on the beach with a good book and a tropical cocktail. Alternatively, if you want to discover the deeper world and bigger fish, it’s possible to try an introductory dive. If you’ve never dived before, Ko Tao has enough great dive sites to give you the passion to start a new hobby. The next day you’ll wave a reluctant goodbye to this beautiful tropical island.
