A Day Trip to Koh Tao: Sailing, Snorkeling, and Fishing

Before heading to Koh Tao, we tried to join Facebook groups related to the island, gathering information and reading reviews. We stumbled upon a one-day tour called KOH TAO TOUR, which included both snorkeling and fishing. Typically, most tours focus solely on snorkeling at various spots, and if there's fishing, it's usually at night. Finding a tour that combines everything in one day is rare, so we didn't hesitate to contact them. - We went in February. There was a bit of rain, but the sea was beautiful. The captain suggested coming back in April, saying it's the best time. - The cost for 1-4 people was 8,000 THB. If more people join, it's an additional 1,000 THB per person. It's worth it if you go with a group. This price includes lunch and transportation to and from your accommodation. - The person who picked us up was the captain. We arranged to meet at 9:30 AM. We wanted to stop by 7-Eleven to buy snacks and drinks, and the captain kindly stopped for us. Very nice! - The first stop was Nang Yuan Island. The captain's assistant guided us to the viewpoint and took photos for us. The queue was long, and there were many tourists. I slipped once, but a fellow tourist helped me up. The waiting line had a great community spirit. - After that, we returned to the boat. The captain took us snorkeling to see turtles and take photos. There were many other snorkeling spots, but my partner and I were satisfied with this one. We wanted to spend the rest of the time fishing instead. The captain was flexible and accommodating, providing excellent assistance and advice. - The vast sea had many fish. We caught about five. The captain selected the appropriately sized fish to make sashimi for us, and we had pineapple as a dessert to help with seasickness. - The trip ended at 6:00 PM. We had the chance to see the sunset as the boat sailed back to shore. It was a beautiful end to the trip.
