Ko Samui day trip to Ko Tao and Nang Yuan Island - For those travelers looking for things to do in Koh Samui. Just off the coast of Ko Samui in Thailand, check this video out. We were looking for something to do during our stay in Ko Samui and decided to look into a day trip to Ko Tao, taking the Koh Samui Ferry over to Ko Tao for some snorkeling in Ko Tao. Snorkeling in Thailand is amazing as is, but Nang Yuan Island Snorkeling was pretty amazing and ended up being a perfect little day trip for us.

***PLENTIFUL TRAVEL PRO TIP: Bring your own snorkeling gear with you so you do not have to rent a pair of used ones and can use anywhere you want.

You can only get to Ko Tao by boat. Coming from Ko Samui, it's around 500 baht for a one-way ticket and about a 1 ½ to 2-hour boat ride over to Ko Tao and Nang Yuan Island. The ferry stops at Ko Pha-ngan and Koh Nang Yuan Island before arriving at the pier in Ko Tao.

Boats leave several times throughout the day with the earliest ferry leaving Ko Samui at 8am and heading back from Ko Tao around 3:30pm so if you are making a day trip there without staying the night, you will have only around 4-5 hours at most on the Island.
Upon arrival to Ko Tao, you will see many shops, restaurants/bars, and hotels. We stopped to grab some food and then chose to rent a longtail boat to tour around Ko Tao and Nang Yuan Island. This is really a better option than doing a group tour and you can find many longtail boat drivers for 2,000-4,000 baht (depending on the length of tour and group size).

Our longtail boat left from Mae Hat Beach and headed out around Ko Tao. We first stopped at a place called Mango Bay, which was a perfect area for snorkeling. There was only 1 other person there while we were, but the Bay is plenty big so you really had the place to yourselves there at Mango Bay.
From there we headed to Koh Nang Yuan Island, which is a small island off the coast of Ko Tao. There is actually a fair amount of things to do on Koh Nang Yuan Island. We snorkeled some more, but people choose to spend the day here (the ferry over from Ko Samui actually stops at Koh Nang Yuan Island). You will also find scuba divers enjoying the clear waters surrounding the island.
If you spend the day on Koh Nang Yuan Island, you can enjoy the beach, the bar/restaurant at the resort, hike up to the Koh Nang Yuan Island viewpoint for some views of the Koh Nang Yuan Island. If you do want to enjoy Koh Nang Yuan Island, there is a $10 fee to step foot on the island and you better get there early to beat the crows of people.
Once back on Ko Tao, you will likely not have a lot of time left before the ferry heads back to Ko Samui. Also, with the last ferries leaving Ko Tao around the same time, the docks will be packed with visitors standing in line waiting to board the ferry back to Ko Samui and Ko Pha-ngan.
With the time that we had left on Ko Tao, we walked around to some shops and restaurants and enjoyed some drinks. Before departing back to Ko Samui, we stopped at a convenience store right off the pier in Ko Tao to grab some beers to enjoy on the trip back. The ferry stops again at Koh Nang Yuan to pick up passengers there, as well as Ko Pha-ngan before returning to Ko Samui.
