Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
The rugged beauty of Mother Nature is on full display in Angthong National Marine Park, an archipelago of 42 islands. Here, you'll find a world of steep limestone cliffs, secluded beaches, sparkling lagoons and fish in colors that rival a box of crayons. A speed boat will take you from Nathorn Port, where you will come ashore (off the tender boat) from the ship. Then, your captain will steer a course northwest of Ko Samui for a chance to dip in the sea and explore coral reefs and the underwater world of parrot fish and sea turtles. Later, you'll head to Ko Mae Ko Island for a hike to the island's main attraction-Emerald Lake, also known as Blue Lagoon, which is surrounded by a tropical rainforest and limestone cliffs with never-ending views. Finally, you'll cruise to Paluai Island for an Asian-style Thai lunch before returning to port.
Special Notes:
Note: This is not a pure snorkeling tour but bring your own gear and wear swimsuit under your clothes. Snorkeling and swimming are dependent on the sea water and weather conditions. Not wheelchair accessible. A speed boat will take you right from Nathorn Port, where you will come ashore (off the tender boat) from the ship. Weather forecast plays an important factor in running this tour. Minimum of 35 guests for a buffet style lunch. Otherwise it will be Asian style set-menu lunch, where 1 set is shared among 8-10 persons.Details
