good morning we are up bright and early today because we'll be taking you with us
on a day trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park which is just off the coast of Koh Samui this
is something everyone coming to Koh Samui must do but we're not just going on any tour today
we are lucky to have GetYourGuide sponsoring this video so we'll be taking you on their highly rated
semi-private luxury cruise tour which will be full of activities food and stunning views
so sit back relax and enjoy a beautiful day in Koh Samui with us
so we just got to the pier it's a pier that we've never been to before
in Samui but this is our boat over here
it looks pretty cool like rustic looking yeah but lots of places to just lay and chill i'm excited
this looks pretty nice it's gonna take about two and a half hours before we get to the first
stop where we can kayak so we have plenty of time to relax but in an
hour we will have a light breakfast so i'm excited for that because i'm really hungry this morning
so right now they are registering for the kayaking activity and i think we're going
to do it it is 250 baht a person but Ron was telling us that this is a very secret
spot and they don't ever see anyone there when they go so we're excited to go try that
oh
okay let me run to the wooden part okay
so our boat has two levels this is the bottom level so this is the front of the boat there
will be some water in that jacuzzi later and we'll just walk in here and we'll show you the
dining area and their small kitchen so this is their dining space and they are going to provide
us with quite a bit of food we'll be having a light breakfast and then we'll be having
lunch around 3PM after most of the activities we have soft drinks and
water all throughout the day and you can also purchase some beer i think beer and wine maybe
a bit too early for that right now there are also two toilets down here and then a
little resting area just in the back okay we're on the second level now this is Ron
so this is the second level and it is kind of where everyone is chilling
because it's really nicely shaded and you can see in the back they have some kayaks
so we won't need to be like waiting in line at the
islands for a kayak they actually have their own kayaks on the boat which is awesome
i'm hungry
okay so for the light breakfast we have some spring rolls we have some gyoza
fresh rolls some fruit so it's going to be
enough energy for us but it won't be too filling for the adventure which is good
the spring roll is really good if breakfast is good lunch is going to be epic
we always like to plan our own trips go and do our own thing but i think sometimes it's nice to join
a tour yeah to hang out with people and also just to like not have to plan an itinerary and enjoy
the day i think it's nice as we mentioned before our so far fantastic trip is kindly sponsored by
GetYourGuide which is an online platform where you can book unforgettable travel experiences
around the world we were looking for something fun to do in Koh Samui so we jumped on their website
and found a whole list of curated experiences from visiting an elephant sanctuary to quad bike safari
tours all hosted by verified local tour operators we decided on this highly rated Ang Thong sunset
cruise because of its amazing reviews from travelers who actually completed the tour
GetYourGuide is very detailed with all the tour information and the booking process was super
easy you can check the availability right on the website and they have a very lenient cancellation
policy as well we think GetYourGuide is a great resource for anyone planning their next trip go
to their website or download their app to browse over 60 000 curated experiences in more than
600 destinations worldwide you might just find your next unforgettable trip there
you don't need to close it you're coming on the on the dinghy
just for following so if you don't want to kayak you can go on the dinghy
swing your legs
i feel like we should have used we should have gone with the dinghy
much faster and it seems like we have a lot of catching up to do the kayaks
are way way in front of us the dinghy as well but you're strong right yeah
look at all these rocks you need me to help you no i'm good i think we caught up over here
do you see the head over there they call it the dragon's head so we're gonna go through it's not
dragon what is it oh crocodile head can you see it yeah oh you're gonna hit the dinghy babe i got it
that's a tight turn coming up right there
our guide was just saying that nobody comes in here it's only
our group that's in here because Ron and his team found this place after kayaking for months
off to the next beach
yeah you can see all the shells this is so sharp the tour guide cut his finger because of this
you got it right babe
you're doing good babe you're doing very good i'm so proud of you i think this
sea kayak trip is better than the one we did nine years ago what do you think yeah i think the one
we joined before was like a bigger boat probably like 50 to 60 people at least and like a lot of
kayaks going at once from a beach versus this one we're starting like right in the gulf here
look at how clear the water is
oh the water is so nice did you see a beach like that in Samui you live in Samui
so the theme of this tour so far seems to be
everything is secret like no one is here every single time we get to somewhere they're like
no one comes here it's just us so this is the perfect tour if you want to avoid the crowd
in Ang Thong National Park because a lot of places we went and we're going to you cannot access with
boats you have to take a small kayak to come here this tour is the only tour that brings
their own kayak yeah the kayaks are on the boat yeah i think it's worth it to be honest like it is
a little bit more expensive than one of those like bigger group tours but not by a lot maybe by like
twenty dollars thirty dollars so the trip was three thousand three hundred baht per
person so that's about one hundred dollars look at how fine the sand is
and it's so soft it is really soft it's perfect for exfoliating you want me to exfoliate you
it is really soft and i like this full-service spa here this doesn't come with the tour
you have to book me extra and i'm very expensive
exclusive spa experience
at Ang Thong National Park we're now back
at the boat there's a little bit of a lineup to get back on
all right let's jump in the water
you see the green stuff floating on the surface that's whale's poo did you know that before no
what do you mean that's whale poo it's the poo of a whale too bad it's not the whale vomit otherwise
money so much money so keep an eye out okay
so right now everyone is snorkeling down there and it does seem like a really beautiful spot
but we did a lot of snorkeling and diving in the philippines and also a lot of snorkeling
around the Gulf of Thailand because we live in Samui so we're going to take a little break
Note is going to fly the drone we're going to chill relax and then it'll be lunch time
it's three o'clock and i'm so hungry let's go eat
okay let's go check out i heard they have like good lunch buffet
watch your step it's slippery
what is that deep fried fish fried fish okay you want a piece i'll grab yours yes please
don't be greedy there's so much food over here what an epic spot to have lunch they
have a very good selection so much good food there's like chicken satay fried fish breaded
chicken yeah chicken strips yeah chicken strips yellow noodles rice and green curry and salad
and she just cooked the fish on the boat they deep fried it on the boat yeah wow nice and fresh
okay i'm gonna put the camera down i'm hungry
so this is our last excursion of the day we are going to hike to this viewpoint at the Ta Le Nai
and we're going to see the lagoon from up above it looks a bit steep it's really steep
it's not that far yeah it's not that high up but it's steep here we'll show you
so this platform was built 14 years ago and before that people would have to
climb up these boulders by just holding onto rope that would have been so difficult yeah
even with the steps they're already difficult but at least they're sturdy
we're here wow wait look at this lagoon
there's no one up here right now it's super green wow 30 meters deep the lagoon is 30 meters
yeah that's quite deep and Ron was saying that is like a nursery for
the smaller fish and when they get bigger they would go into the gulf yeah
because there's a cave that they can swim through that connects the lagoon to the ocean wow
you can't just you can never
get you mean you can never get sick of a view like that thank you i got you
oh man so it's not a tough climb i think it was maybe 10 minutes but it's just all uphill
but it's worth it it's super worth this view i actually think nine years ago when we did
not the exact same tour um slightly different tour we went to another island another viewpoint i
think you can see from here see behind us like uh what would that be like a tiny like a much higher
peak maybe there and it was 500 meters that one took us like half an hour to an hour to
hike up and we were climbing boulders we were like pulling up with the rope
it was pretty intense but when we got up there the most stunning views of Ang Thong National
Park and i think we still have some photos yeah from then where we look super young
we still look young so after this hike we are heading back to the boat and we're gonna
start cruising back to Samui and hopefully we will be able to see a beautiful sunset today
oh i just got like some really salty sweat in my eye it's burning
if you're interested in booking the same tour we will leave the link in our description box below
