Private Full-Day Red Dragon Yacht to Angthong National Marine Park - The first run past Five Islands

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 303 reviews Our pick

Review of the private Red Dragon teak yacht from Koh Samui to Ang Thong, with kayaking, snorkeling, meals, Blue Lagoon, and practical booking advice.

“The trip was amazing, there was enough space in the boat, which is very important issue as you don’t have to wait a lot for activities and also you have your private space, very comfortable. It was a great experience and a lot of fun with activities! Snorkeling and canoeing was lovely. Highly recommend this day tour, totally worth it!”

Review of Pattaya’s 7-hour sunset yacht trip to Koh Phai and Koh Rin, with buffet lunch, snorkeling, paddleboards, and island time.

“Pick-up was on time. Boarding was easy and everything was explained in English, Russian, and Chinese. Buffet opened about 1230. Food was great. Beer/cocktails were available. Beer was only 100 baht. Free ice cold water. The first island was great for using the water slide, swimming, and walking the beach. The second island was feeding the monkeys. Outstanding experience. What made this trip special was the friendliness of the crew. (It was too cloudy for a great sunset) I would book again.”

“I’ve been on many boat days in my life, but this one with Captain Ray was hands down the best! From start to finish, everything was absolutely amazing. Ray is not only a highly skilled and experienced captain, but also incredibly hospitable, kind-hearted, and fun to be around. He made everyone feel welcome and at ease, while also ensuring our safety the entire time. You can tell right away that he’s trustworthy and knows exactly what he’s doing. This was the best water I have ever been in. The places we went to were phenomenal. The whole experience was unforgettable, and I can’t recommend him & the Emerald of Valletta…”
