Take a day trip to the tiny island of Koh Nangyuan which is one of the top recommendations for those staying on Koh Phangan. Cruise by speedboat to Koh Tao and immerse yourself in natural beauty as you explore the blue waters of Lighthouse Bay, Mango Bay, Tanote Bay or Ao Hin Wong. On Koh Nangyuan you can participate in fun-filled activities like sunbathing, snorkelling at Japanese Garden Reef and hiking to the viewpoint.
Start your day with a transfer by minivan in air-conditioned comfort to Thong Sala Pier in the west of Koh Phangan. After a light breakfast, take off your watch and escape to Koh Tao aboard the convenient speed boat.
The first stop will be at Lighthouse Bay, Mango Bay, Tanote Bay or Ao Hin Wong on Koh Tao, depending on the tides. Here you can snorkel on beautiful coral reefs in blue water and marvel at the sandbar beaches formed by the ocean's currents.
Continue to the private island of Koh Nangyuan which is actually made up of three little teardrops of land connected by a massive sandbar. It’s a place where post-card dreams are made: unique topography, blindingly white sand beaches, and shores teeming with fish and coral.
An authentic buffet style Thai lunch is served at the beachfront restaurant. Put on your sunblock before it's time to explore Koh Nangyuan itself which features a dive centre and souvenir shop, as well as a breathtaking walk to the hilltop viewpoint in less than 15 minutes. Be sure to bring your cameras for this stunning scenery!
