Blue stars kayaking trip report
These are some photos that I took on an Angthong Marine Park kayaking tour from Koh Samui last month. The tour was better quality than my photos 🙂 I really enjoyed the tour. It’s a low volume operation that tries hard to avoid the other tour boats. This tour is more about kayaking than snorkeling. If you want to do the best snorkeling at Angthong it’s better to take this Angthong speedboat day trip that goes to the better snorkeling reefs further north (the water isn’t as clear as at Koh Tao but the marine life is abundant and the corals healthy).
The tour boat is comfortable with a big shaded area and a big sun deck. It cruises from Samui to Angthong in about 90 minutes, a very pleasant journey. The cruise leader speaks English and German and is good at what he does. The kayaking around the islands is very nice. The tour includes a visit to Emerald lagoon.
Dear , what is the best snorkeling island in Phuket ?
Thanks for your questions Edwin. There are a lot of islands that have excellent snorkeling within reach of Phuket Island. Where is best for you will partly depend on what time of year you are coming to Phuket. From Nov to April the Similan Islands and Koh Tachai are excellent. From May to October we recommend Phi Phi Islands or Racha Yai Island which is the best value day trip.
