Overview

Itinerary

1. Stop 1

   Choose between a morning departure for early risers who don't want to miss the beautiful morning light, or an afternoon departure for people who prefer to sleep late but still want to explore Koh Nangyuan and Koh Tao - remember that the afternoon trip is usually less crowded. Meet the friendly boat crew of the Oxygen at Mae Haad Pier and get useful information about the trip and the islands.
   
   With all the exhaustion of the sightseeing, sunbathing, and snorkeling, you’ll need to have lunch to refuel while cruising to Koh Tao onboard the Oxygen.
   
   Some of Koh Tao’s most beautiful beaches dot the East coasts which are difficult to reach by road. That makes these beaches the perfect destinations for this boat trip. You will make several sorkel stops at Mango/Lighthouse Bay, Hin Wong Bay with colorful fishes and in Ao Leuk which is famous for its crystal clear water. The last snorkel adventure will be at Shark Island named for it’s supposed fin-like shape.

2. Stop 2 · 1h

   First cruise to the stunning Nangyuan Island which takes just a few minutes onboard the big boat from Koh Tao. Take the 15-minute hike up to the viewpoint of the three islands’ highest peak. The view from the top, a vista that graces postcards across the country, is one of the most beautiful you will have ever laid eyes on.
