Highlights
  • Mr.Tu Fishing Game - The crew of Mr. Tu will pick you up from the hotel lobby on Samui and bring you to Bang Rak Pier where you will get useful information about the trip. After a light breakfast, you will cruise aboard the convenient speed boat in less than 90 minutes to Koh Nangyuan.

As soon as you arrive on Nangyuan Island, the first thing you will do is hike to the top of the spectacular viewpoint. It takes around 15 minutes to get to the top and we recommend hitting it as early as possible to avoid the crowds.

Besides the viewpoint, you can spend time at the beach where a plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas are available to rent. At noon the beach is pretty crowded, but the fine white sand and the crystal clear water make up for that a bit.

There are a few separate swimming areas on Koh Nangyuan - the Japanese Reef Garden is certainly one of the most impressive snorkel spot. The water is very shallow at the beginning with fine sand. After that it will be a little bit stony because the underground is full of corals, that’s why the water color is so beautiful.

Continue to Koh Tao where you will enjoy a Thai style lunch in Montra Resort near Mae Haad Pier. Some of the most beautiful beaches dot the east coasts which are difficult to reach on the road. You will make several snorkel stops at Ao Hin Wong and Kluay Thoen Bay (Lighthouse Bay).

With all the exhaustion of the sightseeing, sunbathing and snorkeling, you’ll need to have some refreshments after arrival at the pier on Samui, before returning to your hotel.

Lovely tour, get ready to look like a salty sea dog! - We had a wonderful trip! They picked us up at our hotel on time. When we arrived we had very limited time to have the light breakfast, about 5 minutes but we stuffed our pieholes with the yumminess and jumped onto the boat! The ride there was fine, nice and calm. We stopped at Mango Bay which was by far the best place to snorkel but my only complaint was that they didn't oil our masks at this stop because this was the best viewing! The masks kept misting up. Then we went to the lighthouse and jumped into the sea. Here they oiled the masks and the world of difference it made was immense! Then we went for a delicious lunch. Honestly, really yummy food! The last stop the weather unfortunately started to change which made it a little bit miserable to chill on the beach but the snorkeling was also lovely. Saw some awesome sea slugs and a massive hermit crab. The ride back however was not ideal! The waves smashing on the boat and us going flying through the air was a laugh at first but then people started to get greener and greener. Obviously not the tours fault but if you have a bad back, this wouldn't be good for you! Our guide Win was fabulous "choppy choppy 10 minutes" has become a saying on our holiday now! I would definitely recommend this trip. If you love stalking fish, this is for you!

An amazing day trip - We had a perfect day trip, the guide were very professionals and they followed us in the snorkeling. They also went underwater with our cameras to help us take pictures and videos of the turtle that we saw in Ko Tao. Guides were always available and ready to help us and give us informations. I definitely recommend this company.

Good trip - Just wish we had more fun time. They told us how things would go down, but didn't make sure everyone was listening or understanding so some people didn't make the most of the time, but we had a blast!

Unforgettable memories with Mr Tu boat trip - I've never been to Thailand before, neither have I tried Snorkel before. We randomly selected this trip due to it having the lowest price at that point in time comparing to the rest of the companies. However, what surprised us was that it actually became the best trip we had during our stay in Thailand. The trip was very organised. We got picked up from our hotel and were treated with delicious local breakfast. We then had the most amazing snorkelling guide on our boat, he's not only friendly and kind but also well experienced. After knowing it's my first time snorkelling, he guided us at all three snorkelling locations, divided into the sea to show us the sea treasures and took us to areas with the most beautiful sea views. I felt very safe during the whole experience. It really created unforgettable memories and I hope more tourists know about them.

Fantastic day out - excellent crew. - An excellent snorkelling trip with 3 chosen locations where one could see coral, coral decay and bleaching (sadly) and plenty of marine life. Pick up was prompt, as was check in. Boat professionally crewed. Ample lunch served - fresh Thai buffet. Excellent masks to use. Fresh water hose down after last swim. Special thanks to Kuwon (English name Troy). He worked very hard all day to ensure that we all had such a memorable trip. I have been on many snorkelling day trips over the last 20 or so years. This has been the best by far. Thank you.

Great boat trip with Mr Tu - We were collected from our hotel in a great a/c bus. Arrival at Mr Tu’s was slick and easy. Breakfast snacks were on offer. Had an excellent day visiting islands, snorkelling, kayaking. Lunch was lovely in a stunning location, drinks of water & cans of Fanta were on offer all day! Would highly recommend, great value for money. Highly recommend bringing beach shoes for this trip.

Boat ride from hell - We went on the Koh Tao trip by speedboat on December 8, 2022. The boat looked in a state of disrepair (so common in Thailand). The seas were calm, but the boat got thrashed about as if we were in huge waves, but there were no waves, just a rolling ocean surface. The boat slammed down as if it was dropped onto concrete, over and over. Probably the wrong boat for the intended purpose. Boat ride was rough or worse. The crew, lunch, swimming and snorkeling was good. I don’t recommend this trip.
