1 / 10SAMUI: Angthong National Park Snorkeling - Kayaking with Lunch by Speed Boat
About this activity
Explore Mu Ko Ang Thong National Marine Park, a 42-island UNESCO Ramsar wetland sanctuary east of Koh Samui, in a single immersive day combining speed boat transfers, guided snorkeling at pristine coral reefs, kayaking through mangrove-fringed islands, and a beachside Thai lunch. This full-day excursion offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation in one of Thailand's most biodiverse marine ecosystems.
Established as a marine national park in 1980, Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park is an archipelago of 42 islands covering 102 km² at the shore of the Surat Thai Province east of Ko Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. The park is registered as a Ramsar site by Ramsar Convention, an international treaty for recognition of important wetlands. Many sources refer to the islands as "Angthong" which is wrong, "Ang Thong" is the correct spelling and means "golden bassin".
