Ang Thong Tours from Koh Samui | Prices & Boat Options

About

Ang Thong National Marine Park is one of the most popular day trips from Koh Samui, known for its dramatic limestone islands, Emerald Lake, viewpoints, kayaking and island scenery.

The main choice is usually how you want to travel. Speedboat tours get you to the park faster and suit travelers who want to spend more time exploring different stops. Big boat tours are slower and more relaxed, while premium small-group options focus on fewer guests and a more comfortable experience.

This page brings the main Ang Thong options together so you can compare prices, duration, boat type, inclusions and pickup details before booking. SamuiToday currently offers both value-focused and premium options, making it easier to choose based on what matters most to you rather than simply picking the first tour you find.

FAQs

Should I choose an Ang Thong speedboat or big boat tour?

Choose a speedboat if you want a faster journey and more time around the islands. A big boat is slower and usually feels more relaxed. The best option depends on your budget, comfort preference and how you want to spend the day.

How much does an Ang Thong tour from Koh Samui cost?

Prices vary by boat type and inclusions. SamuiToday currently has value-focused big boat and speedboat options as well as premium small-group tours. Always check the selected option for National Park fees, kayaking and transfer details.

Is kayaking included in Ang Thong tours?

It depends on the tour. Some packages include kayaking, while others offer it as an optional upgrade or separate fee.

Do I need to hike at Ang Thong National Marine Park?

No. The viewpoint hike is optional. If you do not want to climb, you can usually stay at the beach or relax while the rest of the group visits the viewpoint.

Is Ang Thong good for snorkeling?

Snorkeling is included on many tours, but Ang Thong is better known for island scenery, viewpoints and kayaking. If snorkeling and underwater visibility are your main priorities, Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan may be a better choice.
