Every boat on this site sails to Ang Thong. That is where the similarity stops. One races over on a speedboat and squeezes in five stops. Another is a sailing yacht that takes its time and dodges the crowds. The gap between the cheapest big boat and a private charter is enormous.
All of it sits in one table: boat, group size, kayaking, park fees, live prices, guest scores. Go there if you like reading the detail. Prefer to be pointed in a direction? Pick a boat style below.
Book any boat on this page and the basics look much the same:
Now the two that trip people up. Kayaking is not always in the price. Neither is the park fee. Between them they can rearrange which tour is genuinely cheapest, so read the comparison table and then the booking page before you pay for anything.
Koh Samui, essentially all of them. A van collects you at your hotel and the boat leaves from a pier on the island, and your exact time and pier land in the confirmation. If you are sleeping on Koh Phangan or Koh Tao, read that island’s departure guide before you book. It is not as simple as turning up.
Choose a tour, set the date, say how many of you there are, pay online. It goes through the same booking system our own travel team works in, so you end up with the operator, the date and the inclusions written down rather than promised at a desk.
Loads of families do this. Minimum ages are set per boat, though, and rough water can change what the crew will allow on the day. Read the child policy on the tour you like. If comfort beats speed for your family, take the bigger boat.
