Thai Island Hopper East

Day 1  Koh Samui                  
If anything gets a pack of travellers feeling hyped it's the prospect of 9 days exploring the fabled Thai islands. If you can drag yourselves away from the luxe hotel you've checked into, your first night in Koh Samui will see you and the squad taking in the buzzy nightlife of Chaweng Beach.

Days 2-3  Koh Samui  
Can snorkelling, swimming, soaking up the rays and sipping on fresh coconuts ever get boring? Hmm...no. But if you've got a taste for adventure, this glorious island offers plenty to keep hungry explorers enthralled. Visit the mighty Wat Phra Yai temple with its 15 metre golden Buddha statue, see the mummified monk at Wat Khunaram, or marvel at the natural beauty of the Grandmother & Grandfather rocks on our highlights of Samui island trip.

Day 4  Koh Samui to Koh Tao    
Today swap one ocean paradise for another, departing Koh Samui and cruising the Gulf of Thailand to Koh Tao. Head out on an orientation walk and an all included beach-side dinner to settle you into the vibes of Tao, starting life on this island right.

Day 5  Koh Tao        
Getting under water should be high priority today. Abounding in coral beauty and (wait for it) sea turtles, Koh Tao's diving reputation is well documented. Grab a snorkel and ask your Trip Manager for the islands hidden spots - you may even be lucky enough to spot a majestic whale shark. Above land, the islands hilly landscapes offer many pretty hiking trails and bubbling waterfalls, depending on the season.

Day 6  Koh Tao to Koh Pha Ngan                  
This afternoon we make our way to Koh Pha Ngan. Koh Pha Ngan is fringed by flawless beaches that offer endless days of island enjoyment. Grab a snorkel and hit the seas for an island adventure, or head to Haad Yao, one of our absolute favourites, for some sea and sun.

Day 7  Koh Pha Ngan            
It's the second last day of your island adventure and 'mai pen rai - don't worry, be happy' is now the group mentality. Enjoy a lazy breakfast and dose up on Vitamin D whilst pondering what the day may bring.

Day 8  Koh Pha Ngan              
Enjoy a traditional Thai massage whilst listening to the sound of the waves, the sea breeze tickling your body. Then why not spend another day kicking back on Koh Pha Ngan beach, or make the most of your last chance to explore the island.

Day 9  Koh Pha Ngan to Koh Samui    
Breathe in those last waves of Koh Pha Ngan air before you hit the seas for the ferry ride back to where it all began, Koh Samui. Say goodbye to your new pals and head to the airport.
