Ang Thong Premium Speed Catamaran Tour
Highlights
- Twin hulls: fast crossing without the monohull slam
- Wide decks and real seating
- Emerald Lagoon viewpoint and the Wua Talap panorama
- Snorkel and kayak gear included
Description
Two hulls instead of one, and the difference shows up in your spine. A monohull speedboat crossing chop hits, lifts, drops and hits again. A catamaran spreads that across its beam, so the ride flattens out without losing much speed.

Pickup window06:30–07:30We’ll meet at your hotel reception or villa between 06:30 - 07:30, depending on your location. Our driver will pick you up in an air-conditioned minivan. From there we head to the pier in the north of Koh Samui where the speed catamaran Angthong Marine Park tour starts
Arrival at the pier. Here you will meet the crew and receive a short safety briefing. You can enjoy a light breakfast with bakery snacks, coffee and tea here.
Departure by premium catamaran to Angthong Marine Park. On the way you can enjoy the scenic cruise through the Gulf of Thailand while passing beautiful limestone islands. Because of its shape, the ride on a catamaran is smoother than a speedboat.
Arrive at Koh Wao for snorkeling. Discover coral reefs and tropical fish in clear water. Next, the catamaran continues cruising through Angthong Marine Park.
Visit the famous Emerald Lagoon and hike to the viewpoint overlooking the green lake.
Our next stop is kayaking along limestone cliffs where you can explore small coves and calm lagoons.
Enjoy a delicious Thai buffet lunch served on the beach.
Free time at Wua Talap Island. Relax on the beach, swim in the sea, or hike to the panoramic viewpoint.

Prefer to make your own way there? You can skip the pickup and meet us directly at the start point.
We'll share the exact meeting point and a map link in your booking confirmation.
Please self-arrive by 07:30 am.
Eight to nine hours door to door. Hotel pickup, briefing and a light breakfast at the pier, then you're off. The catamaran threads through the island group to the lagoon viewpoint and the Wua Talap stop, with swimming, snorkelling and a kayak session worked in, and a buffet lunch on board. You notice the flat ride most on a choppy day, which is precisely when it justifies the extra over a standard speedboat. Stop order still bends to wind, sea and park instructions.
FAQs
For lunch during the Angthong Marine Park tour you can expect a delicious Thai-style buffet. You’ll have several (halal) choices like a curry, Pad Thai, stir fried, chicken & eggs and a dessert. The food is halal. If you have any specific food allergies, please let us know prior to booking this tour.
The breakfast isn’t too extensive, it’s smart to have a decent breakfast at your hotel or villa prior to the pickup. On the pier you’ll find coffee, tea and water and a small selection of bread snacks to get your day started.
The best time to visit Angthong Marine Park is just after the rainy season between February and March. The temperatures are pleasant: blue skies and calm waters (apart from a rare weather disruption). The months of April and May are sunny and hot, while the summer is a bit cooler. Our Angthong Marine Park tour is not possible during most of the rainy season, between 1 November and 15 December as the park is closed during that time.
The viewpoint of Angthong Marine Park can be reached after a quite intensive climb up. The road up can be challenging to small children and elderly persons. Please make sure to wear sensible footwear and hold on the available tight ropes at all times. The climb up takes about 15 minutes and is totally worth it: the views from the top are stunning!
Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.
To keep the ride safe, this tour is not suitable for back problems, heart conditions or pregnant women. If that could apply to anyone in your group, contact us before booking and we will help you find a better fit.

Woke up at 6am grumbling and by 9am I was snorkeling in the clearest water I've ever seen. Those limestone cliffs rising straight out of the sea are unreal.

앙통 국립공원이 이렇게 아름다운 곳인지 몰랐어요. 에메랄드 호수는 사진보다 훨씬 더 아름다웠고 카타마란 타기도 정말 편안했습니다.

La nourriture sur la plage était vraiment délicieuse - un vrai buffet thaï avec plusieurs options. Ça change des autres excursions où le repas est décevant.

First time snorkeling ever and the guide was so patient with me.
