Why go, and how to do it well

Operating around the waters of Koh Tao, this taxi boat service run by May offers travelers a flexible and personal way to explore one of Thailand's most beloved dive islands. Rather than joining a crowded group tour, visitors can arrange private boat trips that take in the island's surrounding bays, snorkeling spots, and neighboring areas at their own pace. The service is well-regarded by those who have used it, reflecting consistent reliability and attentive service on the water.

Travelers can expect a personalized experience with a knowledgeable local operator who knows the waters around Koh Tao well. Whether the goal is reaching a secluded beach, snorkeling at a quieter reef, or simply getting a transfer sorted between islands, the boat service accommodates a range of needs. The informal, one-on-one nature of the experience suits independent travelers and small groups looking to avoid the rigidity of package tours.

Booking is handled directly via WhatsApp, making it straightforward to arrange trips in advance or on relatively short notice. The service operates all day, giving travelers flexibility around tides and personal schedules. Those visiting Koh Tao during peak season — roughly December through April when seas are calmer — will find conditions most favorable for open-water boat trips. It is advisable to confirm availability and agree on an itinerary before departure.
