Booking a private snorkel boat charter with Goodtime means skipping the crowded big-boat snorkel tours and enjoying a more personal adventure.

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’ve just spent the last two days of our Thailand Contiki with Goodtime Adventures and it has been the absolute highlight of our trip! The first day we went out snorkelling around the Island of Koh Tao. Liv, Ben & Chris made sure we all had the best time, found the coolest snorkelling sites & kept the party going all day. We came back to do our Basic Diver Training. Fabio was my instructor and he was brilliant. He made me feel so safe, is an excellent teacher and could tell he just loved his job. The rest of the team including Lydia & Chris were also fantastic and made the day run so smoothly. Mike was also awesome and I can’t wait to see the photos. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We’ll be back to complete our certification.

I had the pleasure of spending 4 days with Goodtime Adventure. I did a fun snorkelling day with Chris, Benth and Liv. These three really brought the good vibes while ensuring everyone on the boat was having a good time and a safe time. I then did the one day basic diver course where Chris taught me the basics of scuba. Because of his excellent instructing skills and incredible patience I chose to come back to Koh Tao and Goodtime a few days later to do my Open Water Diver course. Chris once again made the whole experience relaxing and fun, I felt safe for the entire duration of the course thanks to his vast humble experience. I could not recommend the Goodtime family enough! I now leave Thailand with a new skill and passion thanks to Goodtime Adventures. Also, Chris deserves an extra point because he's hot!

Liv, Benth and Chris made this snorkelling trip so enjoyable with their personalities and fun games to play! On day 2 we went Scuba diving with Chris,Lydia and a couple of others I never got to hear their names but they all made the scuba experience great! We had Lydia instruct us on our first ever dive and she explained everything very calmly and made the whole express and stress free When we comeback we’d love to dive with good times again

I went snorkeling with my contiki group and absolutely loved the day with Ben, Liv & Chris. I don't really know how to swim yet still managed to get into the water and have such a great time. They were helpful, patient, and encouraging. It helped the less experienced members of our group feel safe. They were also super knowledgeable and did everything they could to make sure we had a great time
