What To Expect
Koh Ya Wa Sam is a hidden gem where adventure meets tranquility. As we arrive at this secluded spot, you'll be surrounded by stunning limestone karsts and crystal-clear waters. Dive into an underwater world with vibrant marine life as you snorkel through the shallow reef, or simply float along the surface, taking in the serene beauty of the Andaman Sea. The calm waters here make it a perfect spot for both beginner and seasoned snorkelers to explore. At this spot you may see Parrot Fish, Angel Fish, clownfish peeking out from its anemone home and if you're lucky a black tip shark (dont worry they are friendly). We also stop at Ko Si and Ko Ta Ming to snorkel however the itinerary changes day to day depending on conditions.
Ko Lao pe (Koh Si) is a tiny island that is great for snorkeling, offering a calm and most of the time uncrowded atmosphere, perfect for soaking up the natural surroundings. Beneath the surface, you'll find coral gardens alive with colorful fish like Butterfly Fish, Sergeant Majors, and even the occasional Clownfish hiding in anemones. The waters around Koh Si are crystal-clear, allowing you to easily spot schools of fish darting between the rocks and coral formations. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a blacktip reef shark, there is a healthy population of them at this spot. For those who prefer to stay on the surface, you can float leisurely while taking in the island’s striking limestone cliffs.

Great personal Birthday Party idea

5.00My sister booked out the whole boat for her 40th birthday extravaganza. There were about 30 people. The snorkelling, paddleboat equipment was in very good condition. The snorkel gear was high quality - non fogging and prescription ones available too. At least 2 guides were out on the water keeping watch when guest were out snorkelling, swimming and paddle boarding. For the not so confident swimmers, life jackets and noodles were also available. Food was great and fresh water, drinks were provided. Freshwater shower was great to rinse off the sea water at the end of the final swim. Toilets were clean. In all, we had 2 swimming/snorkelling stops - each for an hour which was not too short or too long and a 3rd stop near a secluded beach where we could swim, paddle or be paddled there by one of the crew. The beach was picturesque nestled in between the limestone "mountains". Back on the boat we witness a beautiful sunset while sitting on the roof of the boat. When it was dark, we went back into the water to see the sparkling plankton before heading back to Ao Nang.

5.00My friend booked this tour for her birthday and we all had the best time! Some highlights include: - snacks, soft drinks, fruit platter and dinner provided (Massaman curry, pad Thai, veggie stir fry and rice) - three islands to explore and scuba dive - private beach stopover - bioluminescent plankton at night (you can jump into the water to swim amongst it) - Michael the tour guide was very friendly act helpful, making sure everyone was having fun, being safe and understood the agenda of the day. He also helped take some swimmers out to the islands on his paddle board and took photos on his GoPro and shared them with the guests. All you need to bring is your swimmers and your phone for Insta-worthy photos, smiles provided!
The best birthday ever!

5.00I booked a private sunset cruise for my birthday last month and honestly, it exceeded every expectation. We had 23 guests ranging from ages 2 to 70, and every single person had an amazing time — people are still talking about how great the day was! A huge shoutout to Michael, whose attention to detail and communication were absolutely exceptional from start to finish. From the initial booking, to every message in between, and on the day itself, everything was seamless, organised, and stress-free. He really made the whole experience feel personal and special. We did the four-island tour, which was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. There was plenty of time for snorkeling, plus we got to enjoy a beautiful private beach which was definitely a highlight. I had requested a vegan buffet, and it was fantastic! Fresh, delicious, and catered perfectly to what we needed. On top of that, we had fruit, free-flowing soft drinks and juice, and the ability to play our own playlist, which made the whole vibe even better. I’m so grateful for how smooth and memorable the entire experience was. Whether you’re planning a big celebration like I did, or just want to join a smaller group tour, I couldn’t recommend this enough. Such an incredible day!
Best Day in Krabi

5.00Our favourite day in Krabi was the sunset cruise with this incredible team. Absolute professionals, coolest boat ever, laid back vibe and an array of impressive sights. I was never fond of snorkelling and this is the first time I’ve actually enjoyed doing it. Food was also delicious by the way. I don’t want to go into further details, because it’s worth getting to discover this amazing experience by yourself. Don’t leave Krabi without experiencing a cruise with these awesome fellas!
Excellent experience with snorkeling and bioluminescent afternoon to evening trip with attempts away from lg crowds

5.00Easy fun trip. Laid back feel and great organization by the company. Well thought out and added to the ease of the experience. All crew engaging with everyone on the tour. Booked thru my hotel but suppose you could use other apps. Enough space for everyone to be comfortable. Traveled solo but easy to met others on the trip. Thank you to Michael and his crew. Each one added to the experience by good conversation, having fun and making everyone get opp to try and have a turn on each activity. I appreciate the inclusion and no man or women left behind. I felt safe. They really helped the nervous people feel more comfort to try certain activities and so patient. Thank you for all the photos and allowed me to enjoy the moment even more. Well done. I have seen bioluminescence and snorkeled before, though the whole experience was worth it and I would gladly do it again.
Amazing! :)

Perfect day out on the boat

5.00We had a large party of 25 and we fit comfortably on the boat with room to spare. The staff were attentive but still maintained a relaxed vibe which is what the day called for. Four stops with plenty of time to explore and snorkel in the most spectacular scenery. Staff went out of their way to show us all the seabed had to offer - we saw sharks, eels, crab, lobster, clownfish, sea urchin and more. The food was plentiful and delicious - would highly recommend.
Great boat day
