Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, looking for a family-friendly outing, or just want the freedom to explore Koh Tao at your own pace, our private speedboat charters are designed for flexibility and fun. We know the island’s waters inside out, so we can recommend hidden bays and calm snorkel spots that most visitors miss.

We booked a half day private snorkelling trip, 4 adults and our 10 year old, when we booked Charlotte helped explain the whole trip in advance. On the day Liv and Bart were amazing and explained everything in lots of details and helped whilst out in the water explaining what we were seeing. We even saw a sea turtle which made the trip!! Don’t hesitate and book!!!! You won’t regret it! 🤙🏻 🐠

We had a great time out on the boat with Bart and Liv doing the private snorkelling trip. They made us feel so safe with their professionalism and knowledge. Liv got in the water with us which gave us the confidence to venture further from the boat than we would do normally. We were so happy we got to see a turtle. Also special mention to Charlotte who booked it all for us and all her great advice when we called in to enquire about the trip

Enrolled in the Open Water Scuba Course and absolutely loved it. The instructors Lydia, Liv and Andrea are very knowledgeable and patient. They made me feel comfortable and excited to learn. My top highlight was definitely swimming with the whale shark.

A lovely beach bar to enjoy the day. Have a delicious meal and go for a swim. Super relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. I ordered fries and a half-liter of beer and spent 270 THB. The price was reasonable for the location. I would definitely return.

Went on the private boat tour with Bart as captain and Joe as instructor for my wife’s first ever dive and some snorkelling for myself. The instructions, food, and overall experience have been nothing short of amazing. Just book with them, you won’t regret it ! Oh and did I mention we saw two turtles and one massive one aside from the many fish ?!
