Why you’ll love this tour
Enjoy a private island-hopping experience from Koh Samui aboard your own traditional longtail boat. Visit Pig Island (Koh Madsum) to relax on the beach and meet the island’s friendly pigs, then explore the waters around Koh Tan for snorkeling. With no other groups sharing your boat, you can enjoy a more personal and relaxed experience. Choose how much time to spend at each of the two planned stops, within the 4-hour tour duration, including boat travel from and back to Thong Krut Pier. This tour is ideal for couples, families, and small groups of up to 10 guests who prefer privacy, flexibility, and a laid-back island adventure.
Is this tour right for you?
Is this a private boat tour, or will we share the boat with other guests?
Yes, this is a fully private longtail boat tour exclusively for your group. The boat accommodates 1–10 guests, including children and infants, with at least one adult required.
Can you pick us up anywhere on Koh Samui, and what time is pickup?
Optional private round-trip transfers are available for THB 1,500 per booking from vehicle-accessible locations across Koh Samui, excluding steep mountain areas. Hotel pickup is scheduled 1 hour before your selected boat departure.
Can I customize how much time I spend at each stop?
Yes! As this is a private tour, you can decide how much time to spend at Pig Island and snorkeling at Koh Tan. Simply let your boat captain know your preferences. The tour includes two main stops: Pig Island and a snorkeling spot at Koh Tan. The total duration is up to 4 hours, including travel time from and back to the pier. Please note that the boat follows a planned route and cannot return to previously visited stops or travel back and forth between locations.
What happens if the weather or sea conditions are bad?
Your itinerary, snorkeling locations, or activity timings may be adjusted depending on weather and sea conditions. Safety comes first, and the operator will advise you if changes are necessary.
Which departure time is best for this tour?
If you prefer to avoid the crowds at Pig Island, we recommend choosing the earliest morning departure, when the island is generally quieter. For guests who would like to enjoy the late afternoon atmosphere and possibly catch the sunset, the 15:00 departure is a great option. Sunset views depend on weather conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
