Traveller Tips
Definitely worth paying a bit more to go on this trip compared to other tours.
Worth the little extra, staff go out of their way to ensure a fun experience for all.
This is a long but beautiful boat ride out and back - and if you have motion issues definitely bring dramamine just in case.

A poor weather day made for a bad tour
Fiona_Y, Feb 2023
We were disappointed in this trip! Never usually write reviews but this boat tour will go down as a bad memory sadly. The weather was not good enough for the tour to go ahead, and as a result a large proportion of the guests were very seasick! Couldn't kayak into the lagoon as promised so spent 500baht to fight against the waves when we could have just got in the dinghy. Several people didn't even manage to leave the ship they were so unwell. Couldn't eat the food due to nausea. Also missed out on a lot due to poor communication (diving off side of the boat closed before we even knew it was happening)
I'm sure on a beautiful day this tour is amazing, but ultimately we came away feeling sad having spent £200 on a long and queasy journey.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Hello Fiona,
I am sorry that you experienced unfavorable weather on the tour and were disappointed with the tour.
The most reliable weather forecast for our area has predicted wind between 9 and 12 Knots and waves of about 0.30 meters in the morning and better conditions in the afternoon for your tour date.
Unfortunately, the condition experienced was about 1 to 1.2-meter waves in the morning and about 1 meter in the afternoon.
Of all the guests who join us on the day aboard the Blue and Red Dragon Yachts only you and another group have not enjoyed the tour following internal feedback we got. This reflects in the public reviews just before and after yours.
We always attempt to run tours only when weather conditions are nice. That said, as there is no accurate weather or rain forecast for Koh Samui's nearby islands, as each island has its localized weather system, we don’t only rely on the forecast, but also check the condition at our destination and view real-time weather radar in the morning of the tour.
If weather conditions change later in the day as can be the case in tropical weather, we adjust the trip to have the best experience possible without compromising safety given the conditions developed.
For safety reasons we have selected a different kayaking location than the secret lagoon as the lagoon area is not protected from waves. This kayaking location is also great and most guests love it. We never promise to kayak into the lagoon as the ability to enter the lagoon safely depends on the tide level and waves of less than 30 cm. Indeed, if you select to kayak or go on the dinghy that follows the kayak for safety you end up in the same location but unfortunately, you did not enjoy the activity.
I am sorry that you missed the “diving (jumping) off the side of the boat” that we offer sometimes to our guests at the end of snorkeling or kayaking but please note that this is not part of the inclusions of the tour.
I wish you would have joined us in better weather and invite you to join us free of charge on your next trip to Koh Samui in hope that you would feel better about our tour and post a 5-star review.
Believe me, we have no interest in running trips when the weather is not good as the damage to our reputation, boats, and equipment exceeds any financial gain we may get.
Kind Regards,
Aom

Great Experience
Victor_C, Feb 2023
Great pleasure to go on a full day trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park. The views are spectacular. We kayaked into the so called paradise and the sunset was amazing. Totally worth it.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you Victor for taking the time to write a review following your Private Full-Day Red Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park.
Our boat tours are unique among Koh Samui’s offerings which we believe all customers should experience. Fantastic value for money, fun activities, superb dining, friendly interaction from our crew, patience whilst explaining activities with assistance, and comfort on board throughout.
Our tours visit the Marine park's best attraction when no one is around! Exclusive to our tours, Kayaking at the secret lagoon makes for a fabulous kayaking experience. Located at the most remote corner of the park we explore the island by kayaks we carry onboard and follow the action from our tender. We snorkeling at islands located 20 minutes' sail away from the park as visibility at the park is very limited.
We thank you again for your recommendation and hope to see you again on another sunny day maybe for a half-day adventure island hopping and snorkeling.

Bucket List Tour!

Great boat trip in Koh Samui!
Chelsea_H, Jan 2023
We had a great time on this tour, seeing Angthong marine park and also doing the snorkelling and kayaking. The crew were amazing, so friendly and accommodating. The food for breakfast and lunch was great and they also supplied drinks throughout the day. Would really recommend whilst in Koh Samui!

Terrible ride, little time to enjoy and low quality of food
Ashley_C, Jan 2023
Boat is rather old and extremely slow on the choppy water, too much time to watch and feel the boat struggling through the ocean.
For a person that never has seasick and been to many boat rides in choppy water back home or here in Thailand, I also felt sick.
Almost 2/3 of the ppl on the boat needed to take sea sick pills and some puked.
Including delay, totally around 9 hours on the sea but only 3 hours max in the water or snorkling. Time was totally wasted on the boat feeling dizzy and the food was very average with very little time for breakfast. Totally not worth anything close to what was promoted. For this amount of money, u can resnt a nice night at a resort and enjoy it just just for a tour from the local agency in much lower price.
I know for sure that the operator will write a very long piece to provide feedback on each of my comments here but oh well, if I talked with over half of the ppl on the boat after the trip and felt the same way as what I jist commented, maybe you should consider how to price your package correctly and offer what was said. Imagine that we might have plans afterwards but watsed most time on the delay of the sea ride. It is totally unacceptable and the snacks offered to us for delay was a pathetic tiny bowl of peanuts. I was like man, the peanuts must be made from 24k. We also need to portion the fish and wait our turns to take that little bit of fish.
I cannot recommend this to anyone who will come to Samui to join this tour.
Or it is okay if the price is in half then it can come closer to what was making sense.
I requested for 50 percent refund but got an apology and rejection. I was trying to be as fair as possible considering the price was definitely a scam for the services delivered.
Apology is free of course eeceeyone can do that to avoid actual request of refund,
Don't join this tour and save your money

Thank you Ashley for taking the time to write a review following your Angthong Marine Park Semi-Private Sunset Tour.
I am sorry you found the boat ride long. During the 2 hours of cruising to the park and back, our guests have breakfast, have a nap, enjoy the onboard jacuzzi, and relax at the roomy sundeck allowing uninterrupted views of the amazing scenery.
I believe your negative review was prompted by your multiple requests to Viator and us demanding a 61% refund due to delayed return to Koh Samui. The following is part of your request for a refund, “ I cannot stress more strongly that apologies cannot compensate that lost we had as we missed the farwell of our dear friends who will leave Thailand back to their home countries”
We are very happy to offer a refund when things go wrong but on your trip, nothing such as this happened only a delayed return which does not justify a refund 50% or 61% refund (refund request and the reasoning were changed from one request to another).
Indeed on this day, the tour came back about 40 minutes later than scheduled due to the choppy sea on the way back to Koh Samui. We must slow down when we experience the choppy sea for the comfort of our guests. Our internal reviews from the trip and the 2 just next to your review were very positive from all the guests so I suspect your conclusion about other guests' experiences is nothing more than trying to support your refund request.
As detailed in our tour information we offer three 1 hour stops during the tour for kayaking, snorkeling, and the visit to the Emerald lagoon and your tour itinerary was no different.
We are the fastest large boat that visits the Park and visits the best attraction when no one is around! Exclusive to our tours, Kayaking at the secret lagoon makes for a fabulous kayaking experience. Located at the most remote corner of the park we explore the island by kayaks we carry onboard and follow the action from our tender. We snorkeled at islands located 20 minutes' sail away from the park as visibility at the park is very limited. I am sorry that the destinations were not mind-blowing for you.
Even if you go with a speed boat you will find out that although it takes one hour for the journey, in good weather, to the park the tour length is the same as the speed boat tour waist a lot of time getting in and out of the boat and “preparing” for snorkeling, kayaking from the beach, and for lunch at the only one restaurant at the park.
With regards to your comments about the food. In all our reviews including the ones on the day guests loved the food and no one got sick. We provide breakfast at about 11.00 am and late lunch at about 15:00 as well as fresh fruits and banana ice cream at sunset. I am sorry you got hungry on the return trip. We do appreciate your comment and now stock some snacks for guests who may get hungry.
All in all, I believe you and your girlfriend who join you would have been happier with an economy-speed boat tour but this is not what we offer.
Kind Regards,
Laura
A full day of fun
Cassandra_H, Dec 2022
A highlight of our two weeks in Thailand. Visit several amazing archipelagos, with the ability to raft and snorkel around several of them. Get fed some amazing food made fresh on the boat, tour a semi-private island with an amazing cliff view, and watch the sun set off the unobstructed bow of the ship over the Gulf of Thailand. And our guide, Chop, was fantastic.

Long long boat ride to...
Ryan_E, Dec 2022
Long long boat ride to destinations that were good, but not mind blowing. Staff and boat was in great shape. But expect several hours of travel for a 30 minute stop before getting back on the boat to travel to the next place.

All in all, I believe you would have been happier with a half-day trip as you spend about 45 minutes to Koh Samui nearby islands of Koh Taen and Pig Island but I am not sure what would you think about the destinations as in our opinion they are not as interesting in compersion to the Marine Park.
