The tour in a nutshell
Koh Tao, "Turtle Island", is world-famous for the richness of its sea life. Its little neighbour Koh Nang Yuan — three islets linked by a white sandbar — offers one of the most photographed panoramas in Thailand.
This day is all about snorkeling: several stops at the best spots (Shark Bay, Mango Bay, Japanese Gardens) to swim among corals, parrotfish and — with a bit of luck — sea turtles.
