Yes, it's a long day: around 2 hours of road transfer to the pontoon, then 1h30 of speedboat to reach the archipelago (same on the return). Plan to leave around 6 a.m. and return around 8:00-8:30 p.m.

In one day you get two snorkelling stops, a beach break and a viewpoint, with the park fee already included.
