Royal Mariblue - Koh Tao

Photos doesn’t match the actual condition of the boat. The tour departed with 1 hour delay, after 15 min of sailing we were told the boat had a malfunction and had to go back to the port to change the boat, upon arrival to the port we were told the tour was cancelled! We ruined our only chance to go snorkeling in the island as we had only one night in Koh Tao! AVOID!

Great tour and tour company! Worth the extra money. We really liked the small group which made traveling smoother and faster. Transportation was included and timely which was a plus. We had a full day (8.5hrs) of island and snorkel stops, all in good order to avoid crowds. We even got to watch the sunset from the boat. The meals, drinks, and service included on the boat were phenomenal. We got to see lots of different wildlife and even turtles! These guides know the best bits of the island!

The main lead was fantastic but a lot of the crew didn’t speak much English. I wouldn’t expect full lessons on the wildlife w this company, but I highly recommend nonetheless!

We had the best day with Royal Mariblue on our snorkelling tour around Koh Tao! The staff were lovely, always making sure our drinks were full and providing anti fog liquid for our snorkelling masks. The food was great and catered to different dietary needs. The boat was very comfortable and so nice as a small group. The snorkelling around Koh Tao was absolutely amazing and they bring you to a variety of different spots, some deep water, some shallow. There was the perfect amount of time at each stop, you never feel rushed or bored. My only advice would be to wear the highest SPF waterproof sunscreen you can find on your whole backside and reapply every time you get out of the water. We got horribly sunburnt with only reapplying one time after the first stop, bigggg mistake haha.

Absolutely incredible experience - we were looking for something that didn’t feel like we were lamb being ushered into a field of grass and this was it, very low key, not too big of a group, superb service, kind and fun guides, great GoPro camera skills to film the group and then immediately shared the photos, sunset cruise with bbq and filling and tasty lunch. Seriously - what else could we ask for? It didn’t at all feel overly touristic; everything was done with taste and class. I am so happy we booked this tour!

THE 5-spot snorkelling experience you want to have on Koh Tao. In contrast to other tour operators, Mariblue allowed us to snorkel as long as we needed. In addition, it was like having a professional underwater photographer following our entire trip. Definitely high on the recommendations list.

Great day out, missing the majority of the crowds. Best part is that the group is small and the staff are very nice.
They even get go pro footage of you and footage with the turtles for no addition cost!

5/5! The best thing to do on Ko Tao if you like snorkeling! We saw trigger fish, turtles, baby sharks, a stingray, and even a shark that we couldn’t find when we were snorkeling on our own! I recommend wearing a long sleeve sun protection shirt. The food was delicious. The team is super nice and attentive. Thank you so so much! I hope I can come back to Ko Tao and go on this tour again!

Highly recommended! Hands down the best snorkling tour on the island. There are a maximum of 10 people on board, compared to the 70 people on the other tour boats. The lunch is superb and the staff is amazing. They give you everything that you ask for. The guide even takes great quality underwater photos and videos of you and the animals, and sends them to you for free. We saw soooo many fish that day. We saw a couple of sharks, some enormous sea turtles and a stingray. It was such a good day. Thank you so much!

Overall we had a great day snorkeling with a smaller group than other boats. They have maximum 20 people on board which means less waiting and less crowded. However, our day started a bit late, we didn’t leave until 11.15am (the flyer said we’d be at the first stop at 11am), but we also returned later. The boat was older and less comfortable than advertised, apparently the other boat had broken down. There wasn’t a huge amount of information or communication, the staff didn’t speak English very well. Also snorkeling fins were not included (despite what we were told) and we were asked to pay 200baht for fins.

Fantastic day with a great team who know their stuff - blew us away with the sealife you see!

Amazing snorkeling trip. Small numbers, great boat fabulous crew. Could not fault the trip, book with them and avoid the bigger boats!

Exceptional service from the whole team - they made sure that our every need was met from the moment they picked us up, throughout an entire day of snorkelling at the best spots, till they dropped us off with a smile in the evening. There are many snorkelling tours on Koh Tao but many of them have lots and lots of guests - in contrast, the Royal Mariblue limits the number of guests so that you have a more personal experience and it is less crowded whilst in the water. When swimming longer distances (such as at Shark Bay when looking for turtles) weaker swimmers like my dad were supported with buoyancy aids. The staff were also very accommodating to my dietary needs (vegetarian) and took photos throughout the day, including underwater videos, which were shared for free via WhatsApp after the tour. I cannot recommend them enough!

Wonderful day trip. Beautiful boat and a small group. No loud techno music, but nice, chilled sound. Super friendly staff. The guide spotted the turtles and made great photos witch they shared over WhatsApp. Food was amazing.
Can highly recommend! Must see!

The best boat trip in Koh Tao. We went out and saw all we wanted to see, sharks (big and small), turtles, best corals in Koh Tao. Highly recommended. P Chart is super nice. The team treated guests as families!

Cannot recommend this tour enough! From pick up to drop off, everything is so well organised and the staff are all brilliant and ensure everyone has a great day. There were only 9 of us which was a perfect size, so you never feel rushed and there's so many opportunities to snorkel throughout the day. The food was absolutely delicious and we got to see sharks, turtles and so many fish! It's more expensive than the the other tours offered but it was worth every penny. They also take pictures and videos of everyone underwater so you can just enjoy being underwater, but still get great pictures that they send at the end of the day.

Tolle Tour bei der man die wichtigsten Strände und Schnorchelspots von Koh Tao und Koh Nang Yuan sieht. Die Crew ist kümmert sich sehr gut um die kleine Gruppe von 15 Personen und ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auf der ganzen Tour kann man sich so viel Wasser und Softdrinks bestellen wie man möchte und bekommt ein leckeres Mittag und Abendessen serviert. Die Highlights für mich waren definitiv die Haie bei Koh Nang Yuan, das Schwimmen mit 1 Meter großen Schildkröten am Shark Bay und das wir den Sonnenuntergang auf dem Wasser beobachten konnten.
Kann nur jedem empfehlen die gleiche Tour zu machen ️
