Ang Thong is a national park of 42 limestone islands an hour west of Koh Samui. The tour lands on two of them: near the Emerald Lake, a bright green saltwater lake inside the cliffs, and on Koh Wua Ta Lap, where a steep 15-minute climb with ropes leads to the view over the whole archipelago. Kayaks and snorkeling gear are included, and lunch is a Thai buffet on the beach. Note: the park is closed to visitors from 1 November to 15 December 2026. Below: what the price covers, who it suits and how it compares with the other ways to do it.
