Orion is available for private charter, for those wishing to take out their own group or party in private. If there is something special that you and your group would like to do, please just ask, and the crew can tailor make a tour to any particular place around Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, Koh Samui or Angthong to fit your needs and your pleasures. 

The boat comes equipped with toilet, diving board, snorkeling equipment, kayaks, and the option of a food package throughout the day.

Orion offers tours around Koh Phangan, stopping off at the more isolated beaches on the East Coast of Koh Phangan.  Had Yang, which is still a completely undeveloped beach, Than Sadet Beach, famous for it’s waterfalls; a peaceful place to relax away from the masses.  

The river and waterfall once visited by their Majesties V, VII and IX provide beautiful tranquil spots to relax. Gigantic boulders grace the path of the Sadet river, many of which hold carvings of the various Kings initials marking their historic visits. The river falls down the steep mountainside to meet with the sea beside 'Mai Pen Rai' restaurant. Bharan lizards growing to huge sizes can be seen swimming and feeding here.  The boat moves on to Thong Naipan, a spectacular double bay, (Yai and Noi), and Had Khuat (known as Bottle Beach), only really accessible by boat.   

We offer snorkeling on the coral reef at Mae Had, and around to the other side of the island for sunset.

There is an abundance of wildlife here including Pacific reef-egret, collared kingfisher, hairy-nosed otters, white-bellied seaeagle, bats, little heron, white rumped shama, wagtails, king fishers, seagulls, common sandpiper, brahminy kite, southern pied hornbill, nest swiflet, oriental pied hornbill, monitor lizards, ashy drongo, dolphin, sea otters, leopard cats and macaques sea turtles, tortoises and pythons. 

The Gulf of Thailand, where Angthong Marine National Park is located, is a major breeding ground for the short-bodied mackerel, a staple in the Thai diet. Common land animals include squirrels, pythons, monitors, sea otters, leopard cats, wild boars and dusky langurs, which are unusually friendly.

Among 40 confirmed bird species are little herons, black bazas, brahminy kites, Eurasian woodcocks, kingfishers, wagtails and swifts - the nests of which are considered a delicacy. 

On some Orion boat trips, Whales and dolphins have been spotted.

In this fast developing world of construction and constant transition, cruising out to Angthong in the comfort of a big 22 metre wooden cruising vessel, one is assured fun, adventure and space.

Orion has been specifically designed for these seas, and rather than in a speed boat, where one is tightly packed in, Orion rewards her passengers the chance to really enjoy the ocean and all its gifts.
