What to expect
This trip is suitable for the ones who want to avoid the crowds on our premium boat with maxmium 25 people. Meet the friendly boat crew of the Oxygen Tour at Mae Haad Pier on Koh Tao and undergo a short health check-up before getting useful information about the trip.
Cruise aboard the convenient escort boat to the Freedom Beach on the south coast of Koh Tao. Here you can find a shallow reef just off the shoreline with an abundance of corals and schools of fish. The small beach is famous for its beauty and scenic vibes, and is known to be one of the best Koh Tao snorkeling spots!
On the way to Shark Bay you will pass by Buddha Rock, a group of boulders creating an almost human-like shape and resembles a male in a sitting position. Hin Yaai Mae is the female. Both are believed to be ‘spirit rocks’ and are treated with respect by the local population.
Shark Bay is a private bay with a beautiful beach of fine white sand, shaded by tall coconut trees and Pemphis Acidula. It's a quiet place to come and relax, and got its name from the blacktip reef sharks that frequent here.
The next stop is at the stunning Aow Leuk Bay which is named for its deep, concave shape as well as the depth of the water which makes it good for snorkeling even at very low tide. With the white sandy beach, a coral reef on both sides of the bay and the water varying shades of blue, Aow Leuk is one of the most popular sites for snorkeling.
Enjoy vegan or chicken sandwiches and a sweet panda cotta on the boat to recharge the batteries for the last snorkel stop at Tao Thong Bay where you can spot stock horn corals.
Head back to Mae Haad Pier where the driver will bring you back to your hotel or from where you can catch the ferry to reach your next destination.
