Cruises in Koh Samui

Cruises from Samui head into the Gulf of Thailand, and the main destination is Ang Thong National Marine Park. It is an archipelago of forty-two limestone islands; the programme includes the climb to the viewpoint above the inner lagoon and stops for snorkelling. An eight-hour sailing on a big boat costs 53 dollars; the same route by speedboat is 62 and leaves more time on the water.

Further north lie Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan: eight and a half hours, 71 dollars, a sandbar between three islets and coral gardens where snorkelling starts almost at the shore. The calm format is a seven-hour circuit of Samui on a comfortable boat at 83 dollars, with swim stops in the bays and lunch aboard. The fullest option, island-hopping in the Gulf of Thailand at 296 dollars, runs eight hours in a small group.
