Discover the beautiful islands of Koh Tao on a day tour by speedboat from Koh Samui or Koh Pha Ngan. Start with pickup from your hotel, and enjoy some welcome snacks with tea or coffee once you arrive at the check-in while you wait to board the speedboat. 

The first stop is at a hidden gem in Koh Tao, where you can snorkel in the sea and marvel at the marine wildlife that lives among the coral reefs. Then, hop on the boat to go eat a delicious buffet lunch on the island. 

Next, we will go to Koh Nang Yuan island, famous for its white sandy beaches and coral reefs. Spend some free time here to explore the three islets that are connected by beaches. Do a short hike to the most beautiful viewpoint of Thailand overlooking the unique Nang Yuan Island. If you don't want to walk up, you can swim and relax at the pristine beach with turquoise waters. Snorkel lovers can snorkel one more time at the Japanese Garden with impressive corals. 

Finally, board the speedboat to cruise back. A minivan will be waiting for you to take you back to your accommodation to conclude the tour with a day full of great memories.
