The stunning scenery is exactly as seen in all the brochures and media !! Mountains rising from the sea , aquamarine color water , spectacular viewpoints and an unforgettable speed boat ride !! We had a semi private Speed Boat ( about 8 other people only ) so we could do a lot of things easily and with more comfort. Snorkeling and kayaking stops in beautiful coves .......or you can just relax on the beach / coves etc Emerald Lake , Lunch and an exhilarating speed boat ride all added to the best day tour from Samui !!

This was one of the highlights of our stay in Koh Samui. We booked a speed boat tour, with RS Ruangsri Samui Speed Boat Tour, through our hotel. It was easy, we were picked up around 7am. Drive around Samui picking up other people. Had breakfast and a briefing around 8.30 and by about 9am we were on the boat and on our way. The boat takes about an hour perhaps. It was quite busy but not a problem. When you arrive at the park you can see that the journey was worth it. The snorkelling spot was OK. Nice and deep but we didn’t see many fish. It was however quite chaotic getting off the boat and into the water with my 11 year old daughter but it was worth it. We stopped at a couple of places, it was all stunning, breathtaking. Eventually we stopped off for lunch which was average rice and chicken but the setting was amazing. The point where you can go up the viewpoint we decided not to bother as it was extremely hot, even in August and instead we spent well over an hour just floating around in the blissful settings. The water is crystal clear and as warm as a bath. The backdrop of icon and inspiring. We too a LOT of selfies. We are pleased we stayed in the water it felt extremely special to us. We then went kayaking, which to be honest wasn’t needed. The tour over ran by about an hour. My daughter fell fast asleep on the boat back as did many other people. At the end of the day there was clapping for the crew etc. it was a really special and worthwhile trip. It costs about 2,000 baht each. So on the cheaper side. It was a bit chaotic at times but the memories were for a lifetime. Highly recommended. Check our YouTube videos (IvysDadd) where we do a detailed Vlog.

A well organized day out on the Red Dragon. The crew were fantastic, very polite and obliging. Excellent service, plenty of food, drinks and organized activities. I think a personal favorite was the kayaking, followed closely by the snorkeling. The weather was kind to us, with sunshine and light winds which made the day out even better.

Took a sail boat tour out to the marine park for some kayaking and snorkelling. The weather during our kayaking took a turn for the worse as the wind picked up and the rain came in to the extent that a couple of kayaks capsized. Was a bit of a drama and it all added to the fun, albeit not on the tour itinerary! The snorkelling was a bit underwhelming with poor visibility and therefore little to see which was a shame. We had higher expectations for this but unfortunately the weather ultimately impacted the tour. Crew were very good and the breakfast and lunch provided tasty. Unlimited chilled water and soft drinks were available as well as beer to buy.

Definitely worth taking a day trip to visit. Water is really calm and you can kayak, snorkel and hike around here. The Blue Lagoon is protected so you can't swim there, but it is a beautiful spot to take pictures.
