Boutique island-hopping through east coast Thailand

Itinerary in brief:

• 3 nights Koh Tao
• 3 nights Koh Phangan
• 2 nights Koh Samui

Day 1: Arrive in Koh Tao

Arrive at any time in Chumphon, where you'll be met by a local representative and transported to the catamaran boat over to Koh Tao. The boat can take up to 2 hours so sit back, relax and enjoy the views.

On arrival in Koh Tao you will be taken to your hotel to check in, the rest of the day is at leisure.

Day 2: Koh Tao

Although it's smaller than the other islands along the east coast, Koh Tao offers plenty to do. The island is renowned for its incredible snorkelling and diving opportunities with its abundance of marine life from colourful coral to sharks, rays, turtles and schools of tropical fish. Koh Tao is one of the top places to learn to dive in the world and with dive schools scattered along the beach you won’t be short of options, if you'd like to get dive qualified here.

If you fancy lingering a little longer to learn this new skill simply ask one of our travel consultants to add some extra days onto your trip.

Day 3: Koh Tao

Today is yours to continue enjoying Koh Tao, be it simply relaxing on the beach by your resort or making the most of the nightlife in the town by night. If you prefer to stay on land, there are several scenic hikes twisting through the jungle into coastal pathways where you can enjoy stunning views across the island.

Day 4: Koh Tao to Koh Phangan

After breakfast, you will transfer to the pier and continue on to Koh Phangan by catamaran.

On arrival you will be met and transferred to your hotel.

Days 5 & 6: Koh Phangan

Home to the famous Full Moon parties, Koh Phangan is always ready to party, with bars and restaurants lining the ocean front, all serving up delicious cocktails and traditional Thai food. Dine on the beach with the sand between your toes surrounded by the twinkling lights of the island. Being so close to the ocean is great for sea food – try a spicy prawn curry or stay safe with a delicious plate of pad thai and som tam.

Day 7: Koh Phangan to Koh Samui

Enjoy breakfast at your resort before your next transfer to the pier to board a speedboat over to Koh Samui.

Upon arrival on Koh Samui, you will be met and transferred to your hotel.

Day 8: Koh Samui

Koh Samui is the perfect destination for relaxation with white sand beaches and idyllic views. If you fancy delving into the island’s history, there are lots of hidden Buddhist temples to explore, including the Big Buddha Temple, which is well worth a visit.

Day 9: Depart Koh Samui

Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before being collected by a representative and taken by private transfer to Samui Airport for your onward journey.
