Who the 6-island tour suits
According to the guide, the 6-island snorkeling tour usually runs 12:00–17:00 and includes Ko Khang Khao, Ko Kudi, Ko Kruai, Ko Kham, Ko Plai Tin and Ko Thalu as a highlight. It suits travelers who want a full half-day sea program.
How the 5-island tour differs
The 5-island tour usually runs 14:00–17:00. It is similar but skips Ko Thalu, making it a lighter option for travelers with less time or those who want a relaxed morning first.
How to prepare
Bring swimwear, towel, sea-friendly sun protection and waterproof phone protection. If you get seasick easily, prepare medication and avoid days with rougher sea conditions.
You do not have to book a long tour
For a gentler day, Koh Samet also offers kayaking and SUP, which give a sea experience without spending many hours on a boat.
