Itinerary
- Hotel Pickup07:00–08:00
An air-conditioned minivan collects you from your hotel anywhere on Koh Samui (Chaweng, Lamai, Bophut, Maenam, Nathon and more) and drives to the departure pier on the northeast coast of Koh Samui.
- Departure & Breakfast08:30
Step aboard the sailing boat, find your spot on the upper sun deck or the shaded lower deck, and enjoy a light breakfast as the boat heads west toward Angthong Marine Park.
- Arrival at the Archipelago~10:30
After roughly two hours crossing the Gulf of Thailand, the 42 limestone islands of Mu Ko Ang Thong appear on the horizon. The crew anchors near Koh Mae Koh for the first stop of the day.
- Emerald Lagoon (Thale Nai)
Transfer to shore by dinghy and follow a marked trail with wooden stairs and walkways through jungle to the viewpoint. From the top, you look down into the Emerald Lagoon — a saltwater lake enclosed by vertical rock walls, glowing green from the sunlight filtering through. The walk takes about 15–20 minutes each way.

- Swimming Stop
Back on the boat, the crew moves to a sheltered bay between the karst islands. Jump in from the deck or use the ladder. The water is warm year-round, clear to the bottom, and shallow enough to feel safe.
- Thai Lunch on Board~12:30
The crew serves a freshly prepared Thai buffet lunch while the boat sits anchored in one of the park's most scenic spots — jungle-covered limestone cliffs on every side.
- Depending on sea conditions and park rulesAfternoon
Depending on sea conditions and park rules, there may be a second swimming stop, a beach landing on one of the smaller islands, or a close pass by the towering karst formations. Fresh fruit, snacks and drinks are served as the boat begins the return crossing.
- Return to Koh Samui~17:00
Arrive back at the pier and board your minivan for hotel drop-off. Most guests reach their hotel by late afternoon.
