Ok View Bungalows Koh Tao Thailand

Sailing the Gulf of Thailand

Once you are on Koh Tao, you should grab the opportunity of sailing in the Gulf of Thailand. Island Cruises is located in Sairee, and offers you the chance to step out of the diving scene for a moment, whilst still enjoying the tropical maritime majesty Koh Tao has on display for travelers. Island Cruises is the only Sailing Charter Company of its kind in the region. Their sailing yachts can be chartered privately, but can also accommodate groups of up to 20 guests.

Sailing Courses

In addition to day charters, afternoon charters and sunset charters, Island Cruises also offers sailing courses that are great fun. The sailing introductory course gives students a basic understanding of some of the primary principals involved in sailing. To take it a step further, we recommend the 7 day Island Cruises Ocean Hiker Course. Participating in this course will equip students with a solid knowledge base of all components involved in sail boats. You will get your sea-miles logged during the course and you will gain the ability to crew on a sail boat.

Ang Thong Marine National Park

One of the most popular and unique programs Island Cruises supports, is the 4 to 7 day Angthong National Marine Park Safari. The area of Ang Thong is remaining relatively untouched by the hands of tourism at this point and still supports a healthy working eco-system. The Ang Thong Maine Park is one of the most fascinating and spectacular destinations in the Gulf of Thailand. With its emerald lagoons, mountains and caves, the park offers opportunities for mountain hiking and cliff jumping cave discovery, snorkeling, scuba diving and more. Fully customized Charters of an Island Cruises Yacht are also available should you wish to have a special program tailored to your personal desires.

You can easily book a sailing trip at the reception of Ok View Resort, or you can find more information, or contact Island Cruises directly on their website at www.island-cruises.org .
