★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,742 reviews · 7 hours · from $27

Review of Koh Tao’s $27 snorkeling tour, with Koh Nangyuan, four bays, lunch, wildlife, hotel pickup, and practical booking tips.

“Activity was amazing. We loved every stop, and we saw so much wildlife- turtles, sharks, starfish, loads of colorful fish and coral. The go pro was also an added bonus- we were impressed by all the photos/videos taken and shared with us day of. The only downfall we had were the snorkeling masks. Ours kept fogging up and we had to adjust constantly. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely book again!”

“We had a fantastic half-day island highlights tour on Koh Samui with Happy Samui Tours.

The swimming spot, close to the waterfall was refreshing. The view from the top was breathtaking and showed us the beauty of the island. Highlight was the jeep water battle with the other jeeps. An unforgettable moment. I can highly recommend the tour and the organization.”
