27. Koh Tao

Today we headed out early after breakfast as we had booked a snorkelling tour. The first stop was Koh Nang Yuan which is a collection of 3 islands joined together with a sandbank. This is a really beautiful group of islands and rated 2nd most beautiful in the world. Even though we have visited before we paid the landing fees and went on for an explore and snorkel. Due to the tide being up literally hundreds of people were stuck on this one tiny beach which was slightly chaotic but fun all the same. We then had a few more stops around the island, we found many areas of Koh Tao are struggling with coral health which was a shame. However on a couple of stops we found some amazing coral and an array of different ocean life. Highlights today were about 4 huge turtles and 2 smaller ones. We enjoyed the boat trip and enjoyed jumping in and going down the slide they had going from the third floor. It was a great day, we also met some lovely people from NZ who we are going to try and meet on NYE.

We both learned to dive here last year, James has explored diving again but due to weather (swell) and having a slight cold decided to explore this option at a later date into the trip.
After all the fun and miles of swimming we had some nice dinner and headed back to the hotel.En savoir plus
